Customized Tour in Dublin

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.

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.

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.
