Dublin walking tour
We did a walking tour in Dublin on the first day of our stay. Dave Kavanaugh is an excellent tour guide, both funny and knowledgeable. 10/10 experience, one of the best guides we’ve had anywhere!

Rogues Recommended
This walking tour was a brilliant experience - led by a witty, well-read, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - Dave Kavanagh. His rapport with his customers is second to none and his encyclopaedic knowledge of Dublin’s “Rogues” is very impressive..! I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour to all Dublin visitors - especially when it ends in O’Donohues for a pint of “the black stuff..!” and some more “Dublin Craic”
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Peter and Jane for your fabulous review, it was great meeting you and enjoying a pint in your company.
via Tripadvisor
Lots of history. Great way to spend some time outside walking.
Dave was exceptional. The facts just flowed. Learned so much about the Irish statues in the park. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Merrion Square is beautiful.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your support and kind words.

Private walking tour of Dublin with Dave is the only way to go!
Dave was one of the friendliest, funniest and knowledgeable tour guides we had during our trip. He had so much energy and a great sense of humor. Wear comfortable shoes and get ready for a little fast-paced walking. You will be so glad you spent your time with Dave!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review, I am so delighted you enjoyed the tour.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 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 Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour?
+

Is Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues Tour?
+
Around 13 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking tour in Merrion Square Park with a pint of Guinness Dublin Rogues 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.

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.
