Authentic Dublin
“We have been on many walking tours, this is the best way to get to know what to see. Go at the beginning of your trip! Very authentic tour. Pat even joined us for the meet and greet at the meet up spot. Learned a lot about Dublin. We saw all the highlights from the outside so that we could plan which places we’d explore on the inside. Highly recommend this group.”

“This is just to tell you that we really enjoyed the walking tour last Wednesday morning (17th April).
Despite the cold and at times rainy weather, our guide James gave us such an interesting
tour, and was so generous with all the information he gave us. Please thank him from us both. It was our first trip to Dublin (indeed, to Ireland) and it has definitely made us want to return! Many thanks to you all”

Take A Closer Look

Our annual St. Patrick’s Walk is back again! St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many parts of the world but none of the festivities quite match the atmosphere of Dublin as we honour one of the country’s patron saints. Discover the fascinating truth of St. Patrick and enjoy a very special and entertaining walk that focuses on the man behind the legend and the Dublin of his time. See the places that most tourists and even many Dubliners miss. Did you know that much of the pre-Viking development of Dublin owes its origins to the legacy of St. Patrick? The tour passes ancient sites, including those that Patrick himself is reputed to have visited and, of course, the city’s two great medieval cathedrals: Christchurch and St. Patrick’s. We will be walking to some areas that were first colonised by these early Christian monasteries and later by the urbanised Vikings, Normans and the medieval English. The tour finishes in the grounds of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and entry into the cathedral for a wonderful self-guided visit is included with your ticket.

Places we see & Pass by:

Dublin Castle & Dubh Linn Gardens
Former Viking Dublin & site of former Celtic road that Patrick walked upon.
Dublin’s oldest parish church – St. Audoen’s
The Liberties & the church of St Nicholas of Myra
St. Patrick’s Cathedral & Park

Why tour with us?

Free admission into St. Patrick’s Cathedral after the tour.
Part of our tour will follow the route that St Patrick would most likely have taken when he crossed the River Liffey and arrived at a place where he baptised the people in this part of Ireland.
Receive discounts at a number of Dublin’s most iconic museums and cafes/restaurants.
We only take small groups.
