ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS TOUR!
My daughter in law found Eamon after extensive research for our family " heritage" trip to Ireland at the beginning of August. To say he was amazing is not even the tip of the iceberg! He became part of the family, also digging up, literally, additional information my daughter in law has given him about my husband's ancestors, and went so way beyond what we could have expected.. from a stop at CRUM castle, taking us to the MICHAEL MALLIN mural in Dublin, to actually finding not only ;a grave site for a great great great uncle, but the actual homestead where , with 99.9% certainty, they lived! On the way home he even stopped to show my grandchildren " hurling". a sport he played. I cannot recommend him enough!!
Response from the operator: Hello Andi and my Mallen friends and thank you so much for going to the trouble of writing such a lovely review. We certainly had a great Irish adventure taking us from Dublin up through North central Ireland to Enniskillen and I was so pleased to be able to play a part in reconnecting your family with their Irish heritage. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it so muck and this review will be a great help to my future guests. Take care, Eamonn

An Unforgettable Day with a True Dubliner!
If you're looking for an authentic Dublin experience, stop searching and book this tour with Éamon. We've been fortunate enough to take private tours all over the world, and this was easily one of the best we've ever had! Unfortunately, our cruise ship was delayed getting the tenders ashore, but Éamon stayed in constant communication with us the entire time. His communication was outstanding and immediately put us at ease. When we finally arrived, he was waiting exactly where the tenders drop you off, ready to welcome us like old friends. And what a welcome it was! As only a true Dubliner could, Éamon greeted us with shots of Coole Swan, a delicious Irish cream liqueur that we actually liked even better than Baileys. It was the perfect way to kick off an amazing day. Throughout the tour, Éamon continued to surprise us with thoughtful touches. He even brought along a selection of local Irish treats, candies, and crisps (chips) for us to sample along the way. It was such a fun way to experience flavors we never would have thought to try on our own and made the tour feel even more personal. One of the things we loved most about this tour was that it wasn't just about seeing Dublin. It was about hearing the stories behind it. I had no idea how influential the Guinness family was in Ireland. I thought Guinness was simply a famous beer! Éamon brought us to a former Guinness family residence, now home to Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and shared fascinating stories that brought the city's history to life. While we were there, he surprised us with a tasting of authentic Irish whiskey by the van, just another one of the many thoughtful touches that made the day so memorable. We continued past the iconic Guinness Storehouse for some great photo opportunities before heading to the Teeling Whiskey Distillery for another tasting. Don't leave without trying the frozen Irish coffee, it was absolutely delicious! Next, we visited the beautiful Church of Saints Augustine and John the Baptist, where the stunning stained-glass windows were breathtaking. As we left, Éamon casually waved us across the street to Tom Kennedy's, a true neighborhood pub that we never would have found on our own. This ended up being one of the highlights of the day. Our son was given the opportunity to pour his very first pint of Guinness! The staff made it such a fun experience, and Éamon even presented him with a certificate commemorating his first perfect pour. It's a memory he'll treasure forever. We stayed for lunch, enjoying pints, toasties, and the warm atmosphere of a genuine Irish local pub. After lunch, Éamon dropped us off in the famous Temple Bar district. The guys enjoyed live Irish music and pints at The Oliver St. John Gogarty, while the ladies made a quick stop at Louis Vuitton to have our passports stamped, a perfect mix of sightseeing and fun! Before taking us back to the port to catch our tender, Éamon asked for my mom's address because he wanted to send her a postcard from Dublin. We haven't received it yet, but knowing Éamon, I'm sure it's on the way. That simple gesture perfectly reflects the kind of person he is, thoughtful, generous, and genuinely invested in making your day special. Thank you, Éamon, for giving our family memories we'll never forget, especially our son. We laughed, learned, sampled incredible Irish treats, toasted with whiskey, poured the perfect pint of Guinness, enjoyed fantastic music, and experienced the real Dublin because of you. If you're looking for a tour that feels less like sightseeing and more like spending the day with a local friend who genuinely loves his city, this is it. We laughed all day, learned a lot, ate and drank well, and saw parts of Dublin we never would have found on our own.
Response from the operator: Hi Samantha & family and thank you so very much for this incredibly detailed and helpful review. We absolutely had such a fun day from start to finish and I very much enjoyed getting to know everybody on an individual basis over the day. This review is very motivating to be Samantha and also will be so very useful to future guests of mine so thanks again. Eamonn PS l send another postcard asap!

Wonderful Dublin cultural Tour!
We had such a blast seeing all of Dublin and hearing all the history of Dublin and Ireland from Eamonn. He goes out of his way to make sure everyone on the tour has a great time. One of the highlights was visiting a real pub that Dubliners go to, not a touristy one, and having a most delicious bowl of Irish Stew and a pint of Guinness. Ireland was a bucket list stop for my 80 year old father in law and Eamonn delivered on showing him all of the city and giving him a feel of the culture and tailored the tours to match his abilities. His knowledge of history is unmatched as we learned so much about Dublin and Irish history. Do not hesitate to do this tour if you want an authentic experience.

Do not Hesitate!
I cannot say enough good things about Eamonn. We booked for a private tour . We visited Newgrange, Manowar pub , Howth Castle and cliffs. Amazing tour guide. Friendly , engaging. Spent all day almost 10 hours and the time flew by. True Irish Gentleman!
Response from the operator: What a great full day of adventure we had together and I really appreciate you trusting me with some unique and dynamic itinerary. I enjoyed our chats and I’d love to see you in Ireland again sometime! Eamonn

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon cost?
+
Prices start at $549 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Dublin private car tour Top Ranked Dubliner guide Éamon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
