Hi there! Nice to meet you

Jack

Born and raised on the Northside of Dublin, I am a qualified tour guide and have been active professionally for many years now. Not one for wasting time, I discovered tour guiding while awaiting the results of a couple of interviews for call centre management jobs. If life is what happens while you’re making other plans – then tour guiding is what happened to my career!

The fact that I prefer working outdoors – whatever the weather – probably owes something to my family history among farming folk on Ireland’s rugged Western seaboard. Perhaps because of these earthy origins, I talk Irish Blarney fluently and like to spice up my tours with quirky and unusual subjects such as referencing the Viking Sagas (which mention Dublin a lot), the fact that Dublin once had its own time zone (did you know that?), as well as a smattering of the local Liffeyside humour.

I'm absolutely passionate about Dublin, its history and its people and can't wait to share with you the hidden corners and curiosities of this 'City of Old Statutes'.

Jack was an energetic and knowledgeable tour guide through Dublin! Not only did he take us to some great pubs, but he was so knowledgeable about Dublin and Ireland's history. We learned so much about the heroes of Ireland's past, it's present, and even some Gaelic. I would definitely recommend Jack for your next tour in Ireland!!Jack was an energetic and knowledgeable tour guide...

What a great way to see Dublin! Jack was a fantastic guide, and was a wealth of knowledge. We saw many more interesting sights and learned far more than we could have done on our own in one day. Jack reached out to us well before our tour to understand what we wanted to see, and what our interests were. Based on that feedback he composed a custom itinerary which perfectly suited our needs. Additionally, Jack gave us great information to help us navigate the Cliffs of Howth on our own the day after our tour. We saw far more than we could have possibly seen in 5 hours on our own, and saw many places of great interest we never would have found by ourselves. Highly recommend this tour and Jack as a guide.What a great way to see Dublin!

Loved Jack and loved the tour! Learned so much about the history of Dublin with thoughtful and funny stories. Jack was such a pleasure to talk with. Incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt like he really wanted to give us the best experience in Dublin. We were in great hands. We would join another tour of his next time we find ourselves in the city without a doubt!Loved Jack and loved the tour!

Jack, our friendly guide for this tour, made it one of the best city tours that we have ever done. He is an amazing story teller and completed a site seeing experience with historical and cultural anecdotes. He shares his deep knowledge of the city freely and we have come away with an intimate understanding of Dublin.Best walking tour of Dublin

Jack is as an incredible host and storyteller. We were able to see a lot of Dublin and learn so much of the facts and folklore. Ending the evening with sharing a pint allowed me more time to bond with new friends. Great tour! Fun!Jack is an incredible host and storyteller...

Jack was SUPER informative with tons of historical facts and anecdotes. He was quick to respond to initial emails in setting up our meeting place, made sure we were on time for our next event, and hailed us a taxi before sending us on our way. And most importantly, he took us to some great pubs!Jack was SUPER
