Itinerary
Enjoy the personalised attention of a private local guide and explore the highlights and lesser-known gems of Dublin, a UNESCO city of literature.
Admire the historic buildings and learn the stories and legends associated with them, including Christ Church, which is the city’s impressive gothic cathedral and Dublin Castle dating back to the 13th century.
See the Temple Bar, a famous buzzing neighbourhood and also one of Dublin’s most famous pubs established in 1840 - renowned for serving 450 varieties of whiskey!
Visit the picturesque 27-acre park St. Stephen's Green, formerly a marshy common used for grazing, witch burnings and public executions and now a popular place for Dubliners and visitors to relax from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Visit the grounds of the historic Trinity College University and see the famed Book of Kells and magnificent Trinity College Library (tickets included). Please note: external guides are not allowed to guide in Trinity College so you will join a shared guided tour at Trinity College Campus, Old Library and the Book of Kells. All books from the Long Room have been removed as part of the historic Old Library Redevelopment Project, except the first four bays as you enter the space. In the meanwhile your visitor experience will include a digital journey through the Old Library’s precious collections.
Stop at the National Gallery of Ireland to see the Museum's most famed artwork: The Taking of Christ by Caravaggio, and then jump in a taxi with your guide (transport cost included), and cross the city to the Guinness Storehouse.
This tour ends with timed entrance tickets to the Guinness Storehouse that you can explore at your own leisure (tickets included), ending your day with views over the city of Dublin from the Storehouse Gravity bar (pint included).

As this was my husband and I'd first time in Ireland, we planned a few days in Dublin. Our travel agent organized our trip to include a private walking tour around the city including the Book of Kells experience at Trinity college as well as the Guinness Storehouse admission. This tour is perfect to get the main highlights in the city of Dublin and would recommend it for those who are interested in the Irish history and culture. Keep in mind as it is a walking tour, it's a physically active excursion so if you're aligned with that, then you'll have a blast. It was amazing and we truly appreciated our lovely guide, Claire. She was incredibly knowledgeable and ensured everything went smoothly for us! She was an absolute sweetheart and really glad we had her to guide us in Dublin. Would definitely recommend these tours / experiences!

Thank you for choosing Travel Curious, and we hope to welcome you back in future on another Travel Curious adventure!
We only had two days in Dublin, flying home from a longer vacation in Europe. This tour was the perfect way to see the highlights of Dublin in a day. You see the historical highlights, artistic and cultural highlights, and then end the day with a cold Guinness atop the Guinness factory. Highly recommend it.
