Our guide was well versed in Irish history and relayed it well. Be aware that there is a lot of walking on this tour. I would not attempt this with any kind of disability.

Excellent tour. The guid is very informative, eloquent, smart and with a good sense of humor. He even took more time with our group to go into details of Irish history. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

We were with a group of about 20 people. The tour leader was in a mad rush from place to place, severely limiting our enjoyment and learning experience.

Our tour guide forgotten name was very knowledgable and knew her stuff about the history of Dublin. _br/_ It was a little bit of a slow moving walk around the city and we ending up sitting at Wood Quay for 20 minutes as she was explaining things, who was way too long especially when it is not the most attractive place to sit in Dublin. _br/_ Still she had some interesting stories.

Our tour guide knew anything and everything about Irish history, especially the parts pertaining to Dublin. He was very animated and had a wonderful sense of humor. So many wonderful and unexpected parts of Dublin are covered. It's a good mix between covering most of the major sites and some off-the-beaten path ones. The small stories that were shared really connects you to the place and people. The tour is a great way to get your bearings in Dublin and get ideas of what you want to explore more deeply.

Viator has a very easy user friendly system for setting up tours.

This was an excellent tour. To be fair, it was a great history lecture, using some off the buildings in the area as backdrops. Silvie sp? was great and was a great speaker. Would definitely recommend for those who want the correct history of Ireland.

The historical walking tour comes highly recommended from me. The guide for this tour Tommy presented a detailed and yet entertaining view of Irish history while touching upon the key milestones. The tour itself covers significant ground by looking at many of the important buildings and sites in Dublin. Tommy was able to share the history in a story telling approach which made the huge variety of facts more lucid and easy to understand. The pace of the walk is moderate and the group was able to keep pace with him. The walking tour also allows one to take in the sights of the city at a comfortable pace and allows you to appreciate how the city came to be. I thoroughly enjoyed it and give it a big thumbs up!

This was a fascinating couple of hours, wandering through buildings and parts of town I wouldn't have thought to visit. The tour took us through significant places in Dublin's and Ireland's history, while weaving in literary historical sites. The guide knew so much and was a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour, we were very lucky for the time of year with the weather. The tour guide was first class imparting great information laced with some very humorous quips. The tour lasted just over 2 hours and if you want a great quick introduction to the history of Dublin this will tick all the boxes.

Superb tour. Guide was extraordinarily well-versed in Irish history and kept the tour fast-paced and interesting.

I arrived to Dublin one day before the rest of my family. I wanted to take a tour to learn about the city and also get a sense of direction so that I could show my family around. This tour was great and allowed me to accomplish that. I was then able to become a tour guide for my family! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin for the first time!

We had the pleasure of Slyvie as a guide. This tour was very informative and entertaining. I'm amazed at the depth of knowledge and pride of the people in their heritage. This tour left us wanting to see and learn more. Great city, great tour, great tour guide! Easy walking tour, too. Do it!

This was a fabulous walking tour! Good pace, great information and the guide was absolutely outstanding!! We went toward the end of our stay, but I would do it earlier if you can. The time just flew by and ended on the perfect note-where Handel's Messiah was first performed publicly! Do not miss this tour!

The amount of historical info given is overwhelming. That's the only reason for not rating this a 5 star. If you already have a general idea of Irish history,you could absorb more of this. Some of the very early history sites were pointed out as areas...like this is where the Viking village was. The roads and buildings of the last two hundred years or so,are still standing.You can walk the walk and touch the stones that heroes and villains touched. _br/_ Very interesting.

A very informative guide who painted a great word picture.... I do think though some greater visual stimulation might enhance the experience.
Review by: jehopa, November 2017
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and added occasional wit to his tour. I think we selected the wrong tour for us, however. I was looking for more of a sightseeing tour and this was definitely historical. The tour guide did indicate that it was historical and not sightseeing at the onset of the tour, I guess I didn't realize just how historical he meant.

The walking tour was great! It was very informative and we learned a great deal about Dublin and Ireland in general. Sylvia was an excellent guide and she did an outstanding job of bringing the history to life. We would highly recommend this tour.
