Ruairi was great! Very informative and an absolutely phenomenal story teller. He has lots of knowledge about the history of Dublin and had some funny stories about his former tours. He also introduced us to some great local characters and greatly lessened a lot of my biases to boot. Great tour.

Derek was fantastic. He's very knowledgeable, personable and a great sense of humor. We have visited Dublin several time and wanted a bit more of the history and to see some out of the way places. Derek did not disappoint - his knowledge of Irish history and ability to explain it was spot on. We also visited a few hidden gems. Our time with him was the one of the highlights of our visit to Dublin. Great tour

We had an absolutely fabulous time with Ruairi!! He was very flexible with the start time which made these tired travelers very happy!!! If you want a fun and hilarious tour book with Ruairi!! We let him plan our Dublin tour and he did not disappoint!!! I felt like we hit most of the major tourist attractions with a lot of hidden gems thrown into the tour. Personally, I love the hidden gems and personal stories the most during a guided tour!! Ruining had us laughing the entire time!!! If we are ever back in Dublin (and we will be), we would definitely book him again ... maybe for a food tour next time!!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour in Dublin with Eamon through Withlocals. From the moment we met, his warm smile, incredible energy, and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for a truly memorable experience. Eamon’s deep passion for his city came through in every story he shared—whether diving into Dublin’s rich history or giving us a window into life today. His knowledge was impressive, and he struck the perfect balance between being an expert guide and a friend of a friend showing us around his hometown. I would absolutely recommend Eamon to anyone visiting Dublin and would gladly hire him again. He made our time together feel personal, engaging, and special.Enthusiastic and Knowledgeable

Our first time booking with Withlocals turned out to be a fantastic experience! We had an unforgettable 3-hour tour of Dublin’s southside with Ruairi, a local tour guide I found from website Withlocals and it was absolutely fantastic! As a true Dubliner, Ruairi brought the city to life with his incredible depth of historical knowledge and engaging storytelling. He made every stop feel meaningful and full of character, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. One of the highlights was how he took us off the typical tourist path, visiting a beloved local pub The Ha'Penny Bridge Inn where my son Ruairi pulled his first Guinness, a gorgeous local artwork shop called Jam Art Factory, and Sweny’s Pharmacy a charming non-for-profit bookshop and beautifully preserved old pharmacy made famous by James Joyce. Each stop felt like a little window into Dublin’s heart and soul. Ruairi also shared some brilliant foodie tips that we took full advantage of, so many delicious discoveries! One was definitely Murphys Ice Cream! His passion for the city was infectious, and by the end of the tour, we felt like we’d explored Dublin with a good friend who knows all the best secrets. Highly recommend this tour and especially Ruairi if you’re looking for an authentic, insightful, and truly memorable experience in Dublin.Dublin with the Dubliner!

Had a great day introduction to Dublin with Derek. He was flexible to start the tour near our hotel which meant less walking for us. He was extremely knowledgeable about history and was interesting to talk to. We saw a few places we would never have seen on a regular tour. All in all a great choice.Nice day in dublin

So happy we booked this food tour with Ruari! We enjoy doing a food tour to literally get a taste of the city and Ruari delivered an exceptional experience. We had some must see places on our list that I doubt we would have had time to find on our own and thanks to Ruari we actually got to visit them. We really enjoyed all of our tastings and Ruari’s stories. If you are looking for a great food tour, I’d highly recommend this one with Ruari. He also went above and beyond when our flight in was delayed and met us at our hotel which we REALLY appreciated because we almost always get lost in new cities. He also took us on our first luas ride which gave us the confidence to use it on our own. Saved us so much time over the course of our visit. Thank you, Ruari!Fabulous!

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!

We had a fantastic walking tour of Dublin — our guide Keelan was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us hidden spots we’d never have found on our own.

Ruairi was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! We loved hearing the history, cultural significance and personal anecdotes about each place we visited! And every bite of food he brought us to was phenomenal! We adored the variety we got to try and he was really attentive to adapting things if he found out one of us wasn’t a fan of a certain flavor (I’m not a coffee person and he remembered that when he gave us some guinness since it’s also bitter and turned it into a cocktail for me so I’d enjoy it more!). Not to mention his wit and sense of humor! We were laughing the whole way! We really felt like we knew the real Dublin a lot better because of his tour and highly recommend him!!Wonderful tour!

Ruairi is an entertaining guide. He has lots of colorful tidbits and facts on the local culture and its history. We had plenty to eat and drink and even bypassed the last stop in favor of the most delicious ice cream at Murphy’s. The stop at Sweny’s Pharmacy was an add on and he was kind enough to pick us up at the train station rather than the originally scheduled meet up. It was a beautiful day in Dublin and a refreshing tour. Thanks, Ruairi Entertaining Afternoon

Ruairi was such a pleasure to have lead us on a food tour through Dublin. He came with waters and Tayto chips for the large amount of kids with us, and all of the places were prepared for our large group. The cherry on top was taking us to a Pub where we learned the proper way on how to pour a Guiness. Truly a wonderful experience, would highly recommend to anybody else visiting Dublin!!Great kickoff to an amazing Ireland Trip
