If you're looking for a fun adventure you won't forget + terrific photos -- book this tour now! You will hear, see, and feel the history of Dublin & Ireland through the fascinating tales told by a true Viking-hearted storyteller. Brendan is kind, attentive, and generous. I took my 9 and 5 year old grandchildren and they were mesmerized...can't stop talking about the adventure, especially getting their faces painted like little Vikings and walking a wolf! It's great fun for all ages. I give this 10/10 stars!

Fantastic tour
One of the best walking tours we have done anywhere. Bren is a really enthusiastic and informative guide, sharing his love of history. He gives full value for money - indulge your inner Viking and join one of his tours, you won't regret it.

Luna was Awesome
He was dressed in character as a Viking, very engaging, fun, and made the experience personal by involving the group in the stories he told! He was very knowledgeable about the Viking era, Dublin, and Ireland. Luna was the star of the show!

Best tour of Dublin! Bren...
Best tour of Dublin! Bren was not just an expert in all things Viking but incredibly knowledgeable about the city and all its history (before and after the vikings). Amazing storytelling and Luna’s presence was the icing on the cake.

Best Tour in Dublin!
We spent 12 days in Ireland and this was by far our best experience. Bren was such an enthusiastic historian that made every story interesting. With himself in full authentic Viking costume, he guided us throughout the city making the past come alive right before our eyes. He had a great charm and wit about him. Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, he brought out Luna. Don’t waste time, book a tour with him now!!!!!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking Tour of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Walking Tour of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking take?
+
Plan for about 2.8 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 of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 202 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 of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking?
+
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 Walking Tour of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Tour of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking?
+
Around 71 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 2.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Tour of Dublin’s Viking/Medieval Quarter with a Viking 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.
