Best tour of Dublin!
Jennifer_M

Keelan was an incredible tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable of the area, pointed out a lot of hidden treasures and told history we would have missed completely had we walked around on our own. We saw so much in just 3 hours and got great recommendations on where to get food and drinks. Be prepared to walk!
Excellent knowledgeable tour guide

Eamon was great to work with. We communicated several times prior to tour and he was very helpful. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history. Provided us with a list of restaurants and pubs. Went with us to an authentic Irish pub. Tons of fun. Went above and beyond to meet our needs THANK YOU, EAMON!

Private walking tour of Dublin with Kellan!
anaglephd
, Jun 2022
Kellan was fantastic - professional, knowledgeable and easy to be with. A perfect ambassador for Ireland! We really enjoyed seeing all the main sites in Dublin and learning the country’s history but also LOVED the “off the beaten path” tour and commentary. The complimentary ice cream at Murphy’s was a nice touch, as well! I would recommend Kellan highly. A++
Local flare beats a tour book any day !

Keelan was an amazing tour guide. Even in the rain, a great experience. Not just “seeing the sights”. Learned so many things I literally would have just walked right over if I was wondering around alone. A true lover of Irish history, his knowledge was entertaining and greatly appreciated !
Last minute cancellation by local guide
HOC_D
, Apr 2022
Last minute cancellation by local guide who worked with Viator, so not entirely Viator’s fault. No alternative guide or option were provided to us; we had to search elsewhere on our own for Dublin local tour. I would hesitate to use Viator again as there’s no guarantee that your local tour may happen if your guide happens to cancel last minute.
Response from Host , May 2022

Christine_P
, Feb 2022
The guide Ciaran was great and we learned a lot about Ireland. We saw sights usually not found by tourists.
The only negative was some communication issues. We booked the tour through viator and I thought the itinerary is set and we also actually enter some buildings as the website said ticket included as well as a drink at the end of the tour. There was a last minute change as our guide was not available and Ciaran picked us up. He apparently had a different tour schedule for us.
So yes the guide was excellent the organization not that great which is not his fault.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
