Hi there! Nice to meet you

I am a mother of 3 kids (all grown up now) and have lived, worked and raised a family in historic Kilmainham just a few moments from Dublin city. I like to spend time with people and listen to their experiences. I am naturally curious, which has allowed me to get to know all the hidden jems in Dublin. I am easy going who has travelled around Europe and an avid book reader who loves to share stories. I'm passionate about people and it gives me a great sense of pride sharing the history and culture of Dublin. I'm blessed to be a story teller and it gives me great pleasure offering people a "Cead Mile Filte" "1,000 welcomes" to Dublin the capital city of Ireland. I know a lot of stories about Dublin such as Molly Malone and also from Irish and Celtic mythology. As a real foodie I have an excellent overview of the bars and restaurants in Dublin. It will give me great pleasure recommending the different options depending on your tastes. Dublin has a lot to offer from the beautiful parklands of the Pheonix Park, beaches of Malahide and historic setting of Dublin Castle. I hope to get the opportunity to spend time in your company showing you the magic of Dublin.

Absolutely outstanding experience! Mydie was prompt, upbeat, and full of energy from the moment we met. Her deep knowledge of Dublin’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought every corner of the city to life in the most engaging way. What truly set her apart was her flexibility—she effortlessly tailored the day to our interests while keeping the pace fun and relaxed. It was the perfect blend of insight, warmth, and charm, making this one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Highly recommend Mydie to anyone visiting Dublin!Awesome Tour with Mydie!

If you want to enhance your visit to Dublin (or just looking for something different to do), do yourself a favor and book a food tour with WithLocals! …specifically Mydie!! From the minute our group met her, we knew we’d enjoy her company. She’s got a terrific personality and was very entertaining with her stories of Irish history and legends. Let’s see if I can remember everything…3 different kinds of potato cakes (a little thicker than our potato pancakes) with a glass of hard cider, then a doughnut, then a good-size portion of smoked cod & chips (they had a sign outside listing all the celebrities who had eaten there), then Irish Guinness stew, then a falafel stuffed with mozzarella and finally the best ice cream we’ve ever had. With this said, if anyone in your group has special dietary needs, they are happy to work around it. We look forward to checking out WithLocals food tours in other cities we travel to in the future. Job well done, Mydie!A 10+++ ❤️ Experience!

Mydie was a wonderful tour guide that showed us the authentic Dublin experience. We went to a number of delicious spots that we would never have discovered on our own. She also gave us a bunch of historic tidbits along the way. Highly recommend! Wonderful Tour!

Our food tour of the 10 taste of Dublin with Mydie was great. We had so much fun together. Mydie was enthusiastic and patient and gave us an excellent experience at each stop. We highly recommend her as a guide and would certainly take this food tour again. The samplings were generous and delicious. A great thing to do in Dublin.A super fun food tour of Dublin

I had a group of 12 in Dublin who had just arrived earlier in the day. Mydie was the perfect guide. She helped me customize our tour so it worked well for my tired travelers. She was so informative and fun. I would definitely recommend her. Charming and informative host.

Every time we visit a new city we start out with a with local tour guide. In Dublin we chose Mydie to be our guide. She did a fantastic job! Being raised and living in the area really brings an insightfulness to the tour that others may lack. She is thorough, passionate, and very friendly. We enjoyed our time very much with Mydie. Thanks Mydie! Great tour with Mydie

Mydie did such a great job of personalizing our Dublin walking tour. She is fun, energetic and informative. Her personality is perfect for this industry. Mydie seemed very knowledgeable and eager to share her vast experience and many humorous anecdotes about the city. Sign me up again with this host the next time I'm back!
