Dublin One Day Tour with a Local: 100% Personalized & Private

About this activity

You’ll spend the day with one of our Dublin hosts, who can’t wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out, where to get your hands on the best Irish food and show you the city through an inspiring lens. You’ll weave your way through a pocket of the city, discovering what makes it so special, and where the reputation as a famously friendly city comes from. Your day will be filled with whatever you’d like - the only guarantee is that there’ll be great craic - if you don’t know what we mean, ask your host!

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
