U2 tour
From Dublin but enjoyed seeing new parts would never have known. Brilliant way to see Dublin and to know it's story. Eoin is very knowledgeable and its perfect way to spend a few hours. Hope someone has a spare U2 concert ticket next time they play for him!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, specially being a local! We are delighted you enjoyed your U2 Tour with Eoin, and we agree, Eoin is amazing.😎 It would be so great to have a ticket or two next U2 Concert! Hopefully very soon ;-) See you soon in any of our other tours or in a U2 Concert! All the best, Aroundireland.ie Tours Team 🍀

A MUST DO for any U2 Fan!
This was a must while I was in Dublin, as I'm a huge fan of the band. We ended up being 5 people total on the tour, myself, and some new, wonderful German friends! Our tour guide Eoin, a musician, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and kind, with some excellent photos to back up the facts. We covered a lot of ground and learnt a lot about the band AND history of the city itself. Highlight: The Docklands and Hanover Quay region were my favorite of the tour...very cool to see walk the area! However, for future tours, I would consider walking by the new Windmill Lane studios, as the outside of the building is impressive to see, and a short walking distance from Docklands. Overall, this U2 Walking tour gets a BIG Thumbs Up from me 👍! It's a MUST DO for any fans of U2!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Richard! We are so delighted everything turned out well and you enjoyed the U2 Dublin Tour with Eoin! And there is no doubt, U2 Fans are the best, and we are so delighted you all became friends, it really makes us sooo happy! 😎 We take note of your comments, thanks for that too! All the best Richard, and when in Dublin again, reach out! Best wishes, Aroundireland.ie Tours Team 🍀

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
U2 Dublin Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does U2 Dublin Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 U2 Dublin 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 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 U2 Dublin 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour?
+
Included: Guided Walking Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for U2 Dublin Walking Tour?
+
The starting point will be at the entrance of The Gaiety Theatre at 11 am. Please arrive 5-10 mins earlier ;-) Looking forward to seeing you there! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is U2 Dublin Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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 U2 Dublin Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is U2 Dublin Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to U2 Dublin Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
