Dublin on foot
A truly pleasant and interesting tour of Dublin! A special thanks to our guide Elisa, always available and knowledgeable, who knew how to tell us the history and curiosities of the city in an engaging way. The tips on what to visit and on the typical places to eat and drink were also much appreciated. Highly recommended!
Jimmy was fantastic!!
Great information and history of dublin. Our guide was very helpful and informative. His knowledge of the city is above average.
Antonio's Dublin (and more)
Recommended carefully guided tour of an authentic Dublin. Antonio's guidance, very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, gave our Dublin weekend a unique color: through his stories, he allowed us to immerse ourselves in the culture of the Emerald Isle and its capital, revealing its secrets, its different faces, and the legends with which it is imbued, also in light of his personal experiences. By choosing Antonio's guide, you will also see and hear his Dublin. And you will not regret it. Chiara and Antonella, from Rome
Authentic Dublin
"Will it be true? Will it be false? Maybe yes...maybe no"...this is the slogan that accompanies the traveler on this tour with Antonio to discover the most authentic Dublin. Antonio will take you to discover the places he frequents and will tell you the fascinating history of this city, between wars and famines. I found the story about the Guinness family very interesting, enlightened and modern people who gave so much to the city. If your tour also includes a visit to the Old Library and Book of Kells, I assure you that his narration will make it all particularly exciting. A prepared and engaging professional, I absolutely recommend him.
Exploring Dublin - Antonio's wonderful tour
The Italian tour of Dublin with Antonio was fantastic; he is very pleasant and interesting. Our Italian guide explained the history of the places we visited, such as Molly Malone, Temple Bar, Christ Church, the Trinity College library, the Book of Kells, and many others, in a very clear and understandable way, also making the tour very comprehensive. Antonio adds interesting anecdotes, legends, and trivia that are not found written in books or on commemorative plaques; this is what makes the tour unique, adding that surplus one looks for in a tour guide. Antonio made our walk through Dublin very smooth and fun, but at the same time rich in culture, and the icing on the cake was that he shared his notes with us on places to look for good food, music, and characteristic pubs. Highly recommended.
