Hi! My name is Marina and I’m a 26-year-old Dublin native ready to show you my beautiful hometown! Together we’ll complete a half-day tour of captivating coastal Dublin, venturing beyond the city centre and into seaside villages full of antique charm and hidden gems. We’ll hear historical insights and modern-day recommendations as we explore like locals.
The tour starts in beautiful Dun Laoghaire and its surrounding areas of castles, harbours, museums and more, before finishing in one of Ireland's most charming villages where you can enjoy a meal at your own pace. This tour is a perfect shore excursion or a break from the busy city!
Please note that this is a walking tour and we walk in Irish weather so a raincoat is recommended! Feel free to reach out if you require further information or for private tour/group rates.
Looking forward to meeting you! :)
