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.

Our group of 8 met Eamon at our central Dublin hotel and he took us on a great tour of this lovely city. Eamon proved himself to be extremely knowledgeable but also very entertaining bringing the history to life with some great stories and anecdotes. We all enjoyed it and would strongly recommend him. He was also most helpful with getting tickets and providing general advice to us
