Hi there! Nice to meet you

I have spent most of my adult life in Dublin and am proud to call it my home. It's a vibrant city, ever-changing and rich with history. I love walking its narrow streets, and even after twenty years it finds ways to surprise me. I'm excited to show people my Dublin.

Derek is a walking history book. He can also answer any questions about Ireland. Very knowledgeable. We warmed up in a very nice coffee/chocolate boutique coffee restaurant. I only had the morning in Dublin and Derek walked with me everywhere. It was a good experience. Clear and Cold!

We had a wonderful experience with Derek! After sharing that we’d been to the city before and were really interested in seeing some truly unique locations, we gave Derek a free pass to take us anywhere he’d like. He did not disappoint. We saw some really interesting spots and learned lots of fun facts that we didn’t know…even about some of the Dublin icons we had visited already. Art, history, food, music, whatever! You name it and he seemed to know a lot of obscure but super interesting trivia! We had a really fun time seeing Derek’s side of Dublin and appreciated the time he spent with us. We definitely recommend spending some time with Derek taking in this lovely, diverse city!Dublin in an Afternoon!

Derek is a knowledgeable and accommodating guide. He built a walking tour around our particular interests and offered an enormous amount of historical and social context. We managed to see everything on our list that was within walking distance and much more that we weren't aware of. It was a pleasure to discover Dublin with Derek.

We had a great time touring Dublin with Derek as our guide. We only had a time slot open on Sunday which limited some of what we could do, but Derek made it very entertaining regardless with his extensive knowledge of the city and it's history.Very informative!

Yesterday’s excursion thru Dublin was educational and filled with great stories. Recommend everyone take Derek’s tour as their initial guide to Dublin. He showed us everything we wanted, was receptive to our pace and requests of places to see including a fabulous tea roomWalking thru Dublin
