Your tour will visit important sites as agreed on booking. Due to time restrictions however, the tour will not bring you inside some of the key attractions as each would take over one hour. For example while we will visit Trinity College, in general we will not visit The Book of Kells, unless it is part of a scheduled tour. Neither will we go into to St Patrick’s Cathedral. Each can be visited separately.
We try to keep numbers on each tour to a maximum of 20 persons. For health and safety reasons, tours above this number will contain an additional guide. This also ensures that individuals can ask questions en route and fully engage with the guide.
Tours are as follows;
Half day 10am-12.30-1pm and 2pm-4.30pm
Full day 10am-4.30pm (lunch break 1.45pm-2pm)
Times are flexible and will reflect the needs of the group.
Tours are are very flexible.

Rain Checks
In Ireland, there is no such thing as bad weather. Just inappropriate clothing! We strongly encourage everyone to wear comfortable walking shoes and light rain gear.
We commit to do the tours in all weather. In the rare event where in the view of the tour guide the weather conditions make it dangerous to continue the tour, we will either take a break until it’s safe to recommence or we will defer the tour to a later date.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. No high heals!!. The weather in Dublin can vary greatly between bright sunshine and frequent showers. Because of this we always advise to wear warm clothing and a rainproof jacket. Umbrellas are not encouraged as it restricts the view of your fellow traveller.
