Derrick was very...
Derrick was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions! He took us places we wanted to go and sat with us to enjoy a Guinness.
Response from the operator: So glad you had a great time with Derrick — it’s wonderful that he made the tour both informative and relaxed, right down to sharing a Guinness together!

Horribly Boring
Our guide was a nice enough guy but he wasn’t a local-he was from a Spanish speaking country-not a local -which is the whole reason we booked the tour. On top of that it was a very dry boring tour with stops at places that didn’t make any sense-a future building that might be a market someday? There was no insight to interesting places. Can not recommend this tour at all!
Response from the operator: Hello Christine, I understand how disappointing it must have been not to have the local experience you were expecting. While we saw that you specified a range of architectural styles in your questionnaire, and your host aimed to cover as much as possible, we understand there’s room for improvement. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’re actively reviewing this with our team to ensure that every guest is paired with a qualified local. We’d love the chance to make it right and offer you the authentic local experience we pride ourselves on. Warm regards, Kyle and the City Unscripted team.

Birthday in Dublin
Dublin is a very nice city on a human scale and the Irish are very kind and welcoming. The city under Christmas is a Christmas and traditional light and music show and the temple bar reflects all this.

Dublin Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local cost?
+
Prices start at $179 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 Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local?
+
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 Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local?
+
Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin Private Custom Tour, Off-The-Beaten-Path in Temple Bar with a Local 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.
