Hi there! Nice to meet you

I've lived, worked and enjoyed life in Dublin pretty much my whole life. I'm a friendly easy going fella who loves his home town and can't wait to share it with others. I'm a qualified tour guide.

I'm passionate about the history and culture of Dublin. I'm blessed with the Irish "gift of the gab" so I'm certainly not short of conversation or stories of old Dublin. I also know a lot of stories from Irish and Celtic mythology.

I'm well-traveled and have experienced other cultures, having traveled on the Trans Siberian Express and in the Middle East, there are a few stories about that too!

I also have a pretty good knowledge of a lot of the 715 pubs in Dublin. Some of the greatest pubs in the world are in Dublin. As an avid reader I'm lucky to live in the home town of Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Jonathan Swift and Bram Stoker and am familiar with the many sights associated with Dublin's great writers.

Dublin never ceases to amaze me, what with all the history, stories, beautiful parklands, cliffs and seascapes that can be seen so close to the city centre.

Thanks again for the fantastic tour—it was truly the highlight of my trip to Ireland. Exploring Dublin with you was unforgettable. The way you brought the 1916 Rising and Irish history to life through your storytelling was something special. Your passion for Ireland and its history came through in every stop and story, and it made the entire experience so memorable. We had a great time weaving our way through the city—with a few well-earned stops at some classic Dublin pubs along the way! I couldn’t recommend Eamon more highly. He’s an incredible guide, a gifted storyteller, and someone I’ll absolutely be booking the next time I’m back in Ireland. The Highlight of Our Ireland Trip

Eamon did a 3 hour private tour for our family of 5, and this was the absolute highlight of our time in Dublin! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Irish history, and we learnt so much from him about what we were seeing. We would highly recommend his tour! Thank you Eamon!
