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!

Based on my preferences he created a bespoke tour that gave me great food and drinks while avoiding the tourist traps that are too easy to find. A glimpse into a real view of Dublin

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

(About local David)

My family and I had an amazing 3 hour walking tour of Dublin city center with David. He is fabulous in every respect! He exudes an enormous passion for the history of Dublin and Ireland and he made it come alive with his colorful story-telling. His love of his country was palpable! When he learned that my husband always gives each of us in the family a temporary new name reflecting the language of each country we travel to, he was a great sport and learned all of our Gaelic names! David's experience and skills as an actor, meshed with his remarkable recall of historical facts is an unbeatable combination. He was very in tune with all the members of my family - able to build rapport with us seniors as well as the Millenials and Gen Zer's. He was flexible and able to adapt his tour to our timetable and location needs. One of the highlights of the tour was when he broke out into song with the Irish ballad Mary Malone in front of the her statue. Just terrific! An extra wonderful bonus was a follow-up e-mail from David with great recommendations for restaurants, pubs and other local activities. Thank you David for one of the most memorable, fun, educational tours we've ever had! Get in touch when you come to NY!Don't Miss Discovering Dublin with David!

Eamon was great! The main sights, the "back alleys," fascinating and totally obscure information that we'd never discover on our own. Eamon turns the history of Dublin into an ongoing story of Vikings and Normans, peasants and clan chieftains, cruel and ridiculous Englishmen, and the always irreverent Irish -- all while wandering up and down one street after another. It's a delightful and surprising journey, and we'd recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Cheers!Wandering through History

What truly made it special was our guide – funny, open, and incredibly warm-hearted. You could really feel their passion for the city and its food culture. What impressed us most was that they spontaneously extended the tour just to show us more of the city. It didn’t feel rushed at all – quite the opposite. It felt like exploring with a local friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best time possible.
