    Day trip in Dublin

    My husband and I traveled with another couple to Ireland and only had one day in Dublin. We had a two hour walking tour and Brian was outstanding. Brian is so knowledgeable and accommodating with with our schedule. He really knows so much not only about Dublin but any area we mentioned. We wish we had more time in Dublin but Brian made us feel that we got a wonderful feel for the area. Highly recommend this tour.

    A Brief Intro to the Past and Present of Dublin

    Our guide Brian was a great intro to our visit to London. Low key yet very personable, he was filled with information and stories about his city. Without realizing it, we covered a lot of ground in our two hours. I’d hate to have to take a quiz on all the information we received but it was really interesting to hear. We never had a question be couldn’t answer, and our time together just flew by. We highly recommend him.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your great review. It was a pleasure to guide you through the historic streets of Dublin. I'm happy to hear all of your questions were answered to your satisfaction. Feel free to make contact when you're back in Dublin, Ireland. Brian Dubh Linn Ireland Private Tours

    Wonderful walking tour of Dublin

    Cathal is a fantastic tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and so personable, it was a delight to your the city with him, even in the torrential rain! Cathal was very flexible in adapting the tour to us and to the weather. He made the places we visited come alive with his stories, songs and wit - we even forgot about the rain! I will definitely book another tour with him when I'm back in Dublin!

    Private Walking Tour of Dublin in 2 Hours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Private Walking Tour of Dublin in 2 Hours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $342 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 of Dublin in 2 Hours 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 of Dublin in 2 Hours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 of Dublin in 2 Hours?

    +

    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 of Dublin in 2 Hours 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 of Dublin in 2 Hours?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Walking Tour of Dublin in 2 Hours 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 of Dublin in 2 Hours?

    +

    Included: Tour Guiding Services. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Walking Tour of Dublin in 2 Hours include hotel pickup?

    +
