Overview

Hi! My name is Marina and I’m an enthusiastic Dublin native ready to show you my beautiful hometown! Together we’ll complete a half-day walking tour of captivating coastal Dublin, venturing beyond the city centre and into seaside villages full of antique charm and hidden gems.

The tour starts in beautiful Dun Laoghaire and its surrounding areas of castles, harbours, and museums, before finishing in one of Ireland's most charming villages where you can enjoy a meal at your own pace. You'll get a full overview of Irish history and insights into modern day Irish life. This is a private tour for you and your group only, and can be customised as required.

We will explore like locals, with plenty of time for photos and stories. The tour is a perfect shore excursion or a break from the busy city!

Please note that this is a walking tour and a moderate level of fitness is required. Feel free to reach out for further information or availability.

I am looking forward to meeting you! :)
