About This Tour

This is Dublin done properly. Rather than squeezing the city into a hop-on-hop-off bus loop, this private driving tour gives you a full day with a personal guide who knows Dublin inside out. The itinerary is entirely yours to shape, whether you want to hit every major landmark or focus on the places that genuinely interest you.

A typical day might begin at Trinity College with the Book of Kells and the Old Library, followed by a guided visit to St Patrick’s Cathedral. From there, the National Museum offers a world-class collection of Irish antiquities, and a walking tour through the Georgian streets reveals layers of history at every turn. If you are a cruise passenger or just short on time, the route can be adjusted to make the most of your hours in the city.

The option to extend into County Wicklow transforms this from a city tour into something truly special. The mountains, lakes and monastic ruins at Glendalough are just an hour from Dublin’s centre, and the contrast between the two is extraordinary. Your guide handles all the logistics so you can simply enjoy the day.
