Pasquale was interesting and very personable. He asked us to tell him what kinds of things we wanted see and took us from parks to the Universities. It was a fun tour and we loved being in such a small group. It made it much easier to hear everything and answer any questions
This walking tour was the perfect way to explore the city with limited time while in port with a cruise ship! Pasquale was an amazing guide- we had the best time exploring the highlights of the city with him. From learning about the Temple Bar area to Trinity College, the Famine and Oscar Wilde - 10/10 experience. Highly recommend! Thank you Pasquale for a great afternoon!

It was a real pleasure spending the afternoon with you and showing you some of the city’s highlights, from Temple Bar and Trinity College to the Famine history and Oscar Wilde. I truly appreciate your kind recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future with Travelling Ireland!
Samantha was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and had great local recommendations. Will definitely use her service again.
Great to hear you enjoyed your Dublin Private Walking Tour with Travelling Ireland. Thank you for your lovely review. Take care
We had a group of 10 family members and this tour was great for us. I mistakenly led the group to the endpoint instead of the starting point but Pasquale was very understanding and met us half way. From there we had a lighthearted 3 hours of touring and fun. Pasquale is informative (enough) but also very funny which worked well with the vast majority of our group. All in all a wonderful experience, including a great lunch recommendation at the end!

As part of the trip for the members of the ROIS Dance School, we asked Pasquale from Travelling Ireland to guide us through the streets of Dublin. Pasquale was truly very skilled, both in terms of expertise and communication ability. There is no doubt that we will contact him again on the next occasion. Highly recommended!

My husband and I spent some nice days in Dublin alone for the most part. One day was booked for us to spend with Pasquale Corvasce. After some time, it is still a very pleasant memory. A walk through the streets of downtown Dublin to keep among the most enjoyable memories. Thank you again
