My Authentic Dublin: History, Music, Locals & Pubs - Private Day Tour Experience

My Authentic Dublin: History, Music, Locals & Pubs - Private Day Tour Experience

'My Athentic Dublin' is a Private Day Tour like no other as we customise a personal itinerary just for you based on your interests from a hand picked selection of the very best attractions and hidden gems in Dublin.

My tour style is: History - Music - The Craic (fun) - Real Pubs

These 4 elements will give you an understanding of Irish culture such as we discover the 1916 Revolution, the catastrophic Great Hunger of the mid 19th century, Viking Dublin, classic Dublin pubs culture, religious Ireland, Irish America, scenic Dublin bay & more.
Traditional Irish music throughout.

Once you book the tour, we will coordinate which of the optional stops which are important to you and I can put the bespoke tour together for you.

An Authentic Dublin Experience is to learn the real Dublin, meet the locals with a local and to see the sides of Dublin that also exist outside of the well worn tourist trail.

Hope to see you soon in Dublin,

Éamonn
