WHY MY TOURS ARE DIFFERENT

👋 A Dublin Friend - It's more like going for a walk with your Irish friend. It's a conversation, not a lecture. We chat about Irish life, history, culture, and people.

THE VILLAGE HIGHLIGHTS

This is local Dublin at its most real - authentic village life where actual Dubliners live. We'll explore Raheny Village, which no other guide recommends, then through St. Anne's Park (the Guinness family's former estate) and onto Bull Island - a unique nature reserve and UNESCO Biosphere created by a Dublin Port wall.

• Discover the real Dublin that most visitors never see
• Explore St. Anne's Park - home to 25,000 roses and hidden trails
• Walk Bull Island, Dublin's accidental natural treasure
• Visit a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve without leaving the city
• Enjoy tree lined streets and beach paths away from city crowds
• Taste local food from Dublin's best farmers market (Saturday tours)
• See where Brent geese migrate from Arctic Canada each winter
• Witness Locals Play Gaelic sports in the park
• Experience genuine Irish village life and coastal culture
