Hi there! Nice to meet you

An Archaeologist by qualification but a food, music and pub buff by choice, I know this city inside out. I can organise access to get you "behind the red ropes", skip queues and make the most of your time in my magnificent city. I've been conducting tours and creating itineraries for visitors to Dublin for most of my adult life and I guarantee groups of friends and families will relish the experience of My Dublin. As a Dad with kids ranging from 20 - 10 I also know how to tailor a family friendly or something slightly more high-octane depending on your aspirations.

Ruairi was an immense tour guide who told us some interesting facts about Dublin and showed us some great places to go to on our trip. The communication prior to the tour was great and gave us plenty of tips about visiting the city. He made sure we were happy with the food we were going to eat and kept us laughing the whole tour. It felt like going out with a friend which was so lovely and really made our afternoon a great one 😊Amazing tour guide and tasty food

We had a fantastic day walking around the centre of Dublin with the knowledgable Ruairi. He is passionate about his city and showed us all the great places to go and explained the interesting history and stories along the way. The food on the tour was plentiful, definitely come hungry! Ruairi also went above and beyond to give us restaurant, activity and entertainment recommendations for the rest of our trip, 10/10, would recommend! Fantastic day with Ruairi

Our family really enjoyed this tour and had a great time with Ruairi. Honestly, it was like spending the evening with a friend – easy conversation and lots of tidbits about history and things we were seeing along the way. He sprinkled in personal experiences and just made us feel very welcome. And, the food & drinks were great, we liked it all! 10/10.Great tour!

I booked this tour as an intro to Dublin for the first day my husband and I arrived. We were not disappointed. Ruairi was welcoming and thoughtful, with a wealth of information and amusing anecdotes. We had a fantastic experience, and I would whole-heartedly recommend booking Ruairi if you are interested in getting a flavor of Dublin from a native while having a great time. A+: fun, informative, relaxed
