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.

... and communicates it engagingly! We were glad to have a historical walk of Dublin with Eamon on our first afternoon. Luckily, the weather cooperated, and we had a lovely walk in mostly blue skies thru Dublin covering history, culture, traditions,and shopping. It was a wonderful way to get acclimated. The tour itinerary was suggested by Eamon and we were able to modify it, especially when a deluge hit suddenly at the end of the tour. Happy to recommend him!Eamon knows a variety of history...

Angelina and I were extremely lucky to have chosen Eamon for this tour of Dublin dedicated to its history, particularly the stories of the Irish giants in literature, drama and poetry. He is very passionate in describing them and explaining the gems of the Irish capital. We wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide for tours in Dublin and beyond.Eamon unveils the hidden gems of Dublin

Eamon did a FABULOUS job of showing us the main sites, and hidden gems (as the name of the tour implies!) of Dublin. He’s cheerful and enthusiastic and was able to keep our attention which can be hard to do. We could tell he’s passionate about what he does. Would absolutely recommend Eamon and this tour!Great tour of dublin!
