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.

🏘️ Real Dublin, Not the Usual Route - These are local walks in real Dublin. We rarely see other tourists.

🌊 And Yes, the Sea Air Helps - That fresh Dublin Bay breeze clears the head and lifts the mood.

Full Description

This is Dublin's most beautiful walk and 99% of visitors don't even know it exists. You'll pass through local villages, cold sea swimming spots, castles, beaches, mansions, islands, and some of the best views in all of Dublin. Walk Dublin's millionaire coast with a local, not a tour bus, and discover why this is called the "Irish Riviera" with its €10M homes and spectacular sea views. See Dublin through local eyes on a coastal journey most tourists completely miss.
