Excellent experience!
Our walking tour with Conor was excellent! He arranged to meet us at our hotel where we sat down to review a city map and his planned itinerary. As we already have another tour to visit St. Patrick’s and Trinity College, he arranged the tour to show us some lesser known points of interest. He also was very accommodating in taking photos and then sending us a link with our route and photos captioned with locations. He was very entertaining - sang us a few Irish songs and even demonstrated a dance step with my hubby. All in all a wonderful and enjoyable three hours!

Great walking tour with Conor
My family of three ( including a 17 year old) had a great time with Conor. He was very open to what we wanted to see and showed us around town. We learned so much without being lectured. He gave us information about the Irish history, the language and everyday life. I used to think that I can explore a city on my owe. And I sure can- but it is so much more entertaining and enjoyable to spent it with someone who really loves the city and the country as much as Conor does. We all had a great time. I also enjoyed having pictures taken of us while we were walking around and getting a little video after our tour. Also- the communication before and also after the tour was excellent. We really felt taken care of.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walking Tour in Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Private Walking Tour in Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $97 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin?
+
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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin?
+
Around 9 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Walking Tour in Dublin?
+
Meeting at Henry Grattan Statue Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Walking Tour in Dublin offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian and French. 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 Private Walking Tour in Dublin?
+
