(Nov-Jan only)
A lovely Christmas trip in the beautiful streets of Dublin City, where the magic of Christmas comes to life. Grafton Street, where Christmas windows of Brown Thomas's glow, sound of the buskers, and the warmth of a cosy coffee at Bewleys beckons. Starting with a little trip around St Patrick's and Christchurch Cathedrals, Trinity College and St Stephens Green area, Temple Bar and the Ha'Penny Bridge. Tailored to suit if you like, so please feel free to request little adjustments!

I've lived in Dublin city centre and its suburbs all my life, and the history of Dublin along with its stories continues to surprise me, even to someone who lives here.
Since I've started giving guided tours I've found it to be a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see visitors really engage with the real Dublin City. These are the streets of countless struggles for freedom, laughter, pain, joy, as well as Bono, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Sinead O'Connor and Arthur Guinness. . . I get distracted with stories, so you might have to remind me from time to time!, and I like to make sure that anyone who books onto my tours have the best of times!
As a long time musician, who's spent a lot of time with other Irish musicians, I've also got no shortage of insights into the heart of Irish music and folklore - it's a lovely world to occupy.
I also have a very special relationship with Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge, remind me to tell you about this, you won't find the answer on Google!
Dublin is an old city, but it's not a museum, it's also a brand new city - this is the same throughout all of Ireland - and I enjoy showing visitors how these worlds live side by side, so you can have fun while enjoying the city at the same time!
