Derek was very knowledgeable on everything that we were wondering about in terms of Irish literature and Dublin! He was also very conversational, and also got us into a couple of different places due to connections and his overall familiarity with the subject. So lovely - we thoroughly enjoyed and recommended to a friend of ours. Thanks again, Derek!Wonderful and Informtive!

Mydie did a great job sharing all the extra special things about Ireland. She was a wealth of knowledge and details. She organized our day, tickets and was able to adapt on the fly when we decided to get lunch and found us the best fish and chips place in Dublin! It was a great day and our group of 4 would recommend her! Dublin experiences

Nous avons fait un tour de Dublin avec Derek, qui était un guide sympathique et accessible. Il connaît bien l’histoire de la ville et du pays, en particulier les aspects religieux et politiques de l’Irlande. En tant qu’adultes, nous avons apprécié ses explications, même si certains passages étaient un peu complexes à suivre. En revanche, ce tour n’était pas vraiment adapté à nos enfants de 10 et 4 ans. L’approche très centrée sur l’histoire et la religion ne les a pas captivés. Ce serait peut-être mieux pour des ados. Cela dit, Derek est resté très aimable avec eux tout au long du parcours.

Marius was an excellent tour guide! We did the main objective of the trip - Cliffs of Moher - but aside from that he customized the rest of the day trip to what interested us. We love nature and going off the beaten path so he took us to some hidden gems. But whether your interest is shopping, culture, nature, you name it - he has options for you! And don't let his non-native Irish heritage detour you - he knows so much about the history and culture and could answer all the questions we asked. He knows all the nooks and crannies of Ireland and impressed us all with the places he took us. He has so many tour options whether you have only 3 hours or several days- he will take you anywhere and do anything whether it's a family trip, friends or more. He was professional, prompt, personable & friendly. Would LOVE to have Marius take us around again!Our best day in Ireland!

We had many questions about Dublin's history and culture and Derek answered them all with patience and good humour. He is knowledgeable and kind and helpfully gave us recommendations for places and activities we might want to visit during our stay. A wonderful way to begin to explore a new to us city.

Mydie was an excellent host! We scheduled a day drive out to the inland of Ireland with only one specific destination (National Sheep Dog Trials near Athlone). We started out of town on the main highway but then transitioned to smaller side roads to get a feel for the countryside. Mydie had valuable knowledge and experience to show us some unique historical places. We also found interesting photo sites. Several times we were on even smaller one lane roads. Most of what we saw would not be seen on a bus tour. Mydie was a great conversationalist and kept the trip enjoyable. We highly recommend herThe Backroads of Ireland

Derek was knowledgeable and personable. And patient since the rain and the traffic made us about 20 minutes late to our meeting point. The tour was a perfect intro to this magical and historic city, especially for folks like us who had only a short layover. I like that he talked about architecture as well as history: in a place like Ireland the two are very much connected. Enjoyable all around and very much recommended!Dublin in the Rain!

If you want to enhance your visit to Dublin (or just looking for something different to do), do yourself a favor and book a food tour with WithLocals! …specifically Mydie!! From the minute our group met her, we knew we’d enjoy her company. She’s got a terrific personality and was very entertaining with her stories of Irish history and legends. Let’s see if I can remember everything…3 different kinds of potato cakes (a little thicker than our potato pancakes) with a glass of hard cider, then a doughnut, then a good-size portion of smoked cod & chips (they had a sign outside listing all the celebrities who had eaten there), then Irish Guinness stew, then a falafel stuffed with mozzarella and finally the best ice cream we’ve ever had. With this said, if anyone in your group has special dietary needs, they are happy to work around it. We look forward to checking out WithLocals food tours in other cities we travel to in the future. Job well done, Mydie!A 10+++ ❤️ Experience!

What a great way to see Dublin! Jack was a fantastic guide, and was a wealth of knowledge. We saw many more interesting sights and learned far more than we could have done on our own in one day. Jack reached out to us well before our tour to understand what we wanted to see, and what our interests were. Based on that feedback he composed a custom itinerary which perfectly suited our needs. Additionally, Jack gave us great information to help us navigate the Cliffs of Howth on our own the day after our tour. We saw far more than we could have possibly seen in 5 hours on our own, and saw many places of great interest we never would have found by ourselves. Highly recommend this tour and Jack as a guide.What a great way to see Dublin!
