Private, customizable tour
We enjoyed our walking tour of Dublin with Pasquale and were grateful to have a private tour when we saw the size of some of the group tours walking around Dublin at the same time. Pasquale did a great job of trying to make the tour interesting for our specific family as we had our three young adult sons with us. He seemed very knowledgeable about the history of Dublin as well as being up to date on current events. He gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and seemed truly interested in answering any questions we had. He was kind to provide umbrellas for us which was a huge help as it rained throughout our tour. A few places like Dublin Castle were not accessible due to a European Union meeting, but this was not within Pasquale’s control. He gave us great advice on a place to eat dinner after our tour and even walked us right up to the door. Thank you, Pasquale!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private walking tour of Dublin and that the experience was tailored to suit your family, including your three young adult sons. We’re especially pleased that you appreciated the relaxed, personal nature of the tour, with plenty of opportunities for questions and conversation. We’re glad the umbrellas helped with the Irish weather too! And while Dublin Castle was unfortunately inaccessible due to circumstances beyond our control, we’re happy that the alternative experience and recommendations helped make the day enjoyable. It’s lovely to hear that the dinner recommendation was helpful as well. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome your family back to Dublin again in the future! The Travelling Ireland Team

Andrew was a great tour guide!
Andrew was knowledgeable about the history of Dublin and he shared interesting facts with us. My friend and I were treated with respect and he was able to answer all our questions. We felt special being the only two in the group. He showed us an out of the way garden area that we have otherwise missed. We enjoyed our tour and would recommend that you take it too.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €10 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 Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour?
+
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 Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 7 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour 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 Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. 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.
What is included in Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour?
+
Included: Private guided tour (your group only); Umbrellas provided; Local tips and tricks; All age groups catered for, family friendly; and Experienced and licensed tour guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour?
+
Cecilia street is the small alley in front of The Wall of fame Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dublin Express Private Guided Walking Tour?
+
