Tee off for the Win
Jack Redmond led our 2.5 hour walking tour of Dublin today. He kept it interesting and personal. We followed his suggestions afterwards and walked through Trinity College and took the train to see the cliffs of Howth. It was a 13mile day and we were back before our cruise left. Jack’s knowledge made the most of our day in port.

Excellent Dublin tour with Peter!
SUMMARY - great tour! Definitely would recommend and glad we did it early on our second day. Did the paid tour which was great value. MEETING - Took us a little while to find the exact spot, but Dublin is so small that you can walk to the meetup point pretty much from any central location or hotel in Dublin. We booked a paid for small group tour, and it turned out it was just us and Peter the owner/operator of Yellow Umbrella Tours- TOUR - It was a couple of hours, with Peter walking us around various locations and giving us a lot of background and history that I was completely unaware of, even having been born and brought up in England before moving the the US. I really appreciated that added context to all the various places, it made it so much more interesting than just looking at a building or point of interest, and Peter was not only very knowledgeable, but because it was a small group tour we were able to interact and ask additional questions without being too much of a pain. Finished outside Trinity and it turned out that Peter was a former student (for Americans reading this, Trinity is like Ireland's Harvard or Yale) - as Peter said wryly, you'll always know a Trinity man - because they'll tell you they are! Funny dude :-) COST/MISC - My wife booked it and we normally do free walking tours, but she picked out this paid one for maybe 17EUR (?), and tbh it was well worth it and I'd do the paid one by preference over the free ones because, as someone who's hearing is a bit bad, it was great to be able to hear everything he was saying, to ask to repeat if I didn't hear, or to ask for extra details if we wanted. So yeah I think we got lucky being the only ones on the tour, but I would definitely recommend the company, Peter himself, and the very reasonable price of the tour. Good job and thanks again Peter!

Great
We had a great tour with Peter. He was knowledgeable and informative about Dublin and Irish history. Was a great way to get introduced to Dublin

Fun 2h Tour with much to learn
Peter was a really kind guy with a lot of knowledge. We liked the tour very much, since he showed us places where I might not have gone too, since they are so hidden or unspectacular, till he tells you something about it. We learned so much and it was very fun! I enjoyed it a lot and was delighted to have Peter as the tour guide!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide 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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 61 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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide?
+
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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide 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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide?
+
Around 21 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 Small Group Bucket List Sights Walking Tour with a Local Guide 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.
