    Did a wonderful working tour with Siomha - full of knowledge on the history of Ireland, making it easy to understand, adding humour and personality throughout the tour. Highly recommend her walking tour. Thank you Siomha for sharing your day with us.

    Had an excellent tour with John in Dublin. He's a great laugh and links up cultural, quirky stories along the way. Love that we had a lunch break in the middle. It was a seamless tour. One of the best walking tours I've been on throughout Europe. Thanks again.

    We have been on more than 20 waking tours in several countries. Overall the enjoyment and education of the tours depends very much on the expertise and presentation of the guides. There were so many people for the waking tour of Dublin that it was divided into two groups (and that was just for the English speakers). We switched groups about half way through. The first guide was much more about poking fun at participants (they didn’t seem to mind), and telling jokes and didn’t seem very sure of the facts. We were much happier after we switched. Tour guide John was fantastic. He imparted the information in an interesting way, incorporating humorous stories, and kept us captivated. He was confident and it was clear he knew the facts. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with John! Would take any tour offered by John.

    The free walking tour was very interesting and Siomha was a fun and knowledgeable host. The tour lets you get your bearings in the south side, close to the Liffey, and there's even short break in Temple Bar, which allows time for a quick pint of the black stuff. Well worth doing

    Really liked this tour of Dublin centre, it wasn't too long and had a good stop inbetween at a nice café. Our guide walked us through the history of Ireland and showed us all the key landmarks and best places to go and see! Shout out to Stephen for probably being the best tour guide in Dublin, would highly recommend to anyone!

    This walking tour of Dublin was one of the most enjoyable experiences I had on my trip. The guide was super knowledgeable and shared a small slice of Dublin's history as a very interesting ongoing story. He was funny and engaging. I recommend this tour for any visitor's first taste of the city.

    Leti was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! If you get her you’re lucky!👌👌 Dublin feels much more familiar! She had such good energy especially on such a dreary day! 😅

    I went for a free guide tour in Dublin City and my guide was John. He is definitely an amazing guide. Full of knowledge, he knows how to use his voice to speak to people and to explain every doubts that people can have on the way. A hundred times recommended.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour round Dublin, and especially our tour guide, John! Not only did we get a great tour of the city, learning loads, he also gave his own personal food and drink recommendations which helped to plan the rest our time in Dublin. Overall we’d highly recommend the tour, and John!

    When we visited Dublin a few days ago we booked a Sandemans walking tour. Our tour guide John was fantastic, very knowledgeable about Dublin and gave lots of great recommendations of what to do on our trip. The tour was really insightful and informative and would highly recommend! Thank you to John for being a fabulous tour guide!

  • 5/5 Junghye L. 7 months ago on Google
    I thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Dublin thanks to a tour with John. He was very enthusiastic, informative, and entertaining. I found his closing remark of the tour drawing an analogy between Molly Malone and today's Dubliners particularly touching and inspiring. Many thanks to him and hope he gets to be the king this year.

  • 5/5 Nick P. 1 year ago on Google
    Stephen was an amazing tour guide who was very kind and funny and gave us a very engaging tour of Dublin. We felt welcomed and found his personal anecdotes and history of Ireland interesting and concise. 10/10!

    We did the day trip to Howth and it was awesome!! Wally was a fantastic guide and made it a really great experience for us. Make sure you're ready to walk though, it's pretty long once you get to Howth, and not always easy (lots of up hill), so if you have mobility issues, it might not be the best option. If you are good to hike a while, I HIGHLY recommend it! It was one of my favorite parts of our whole Dublin visit with some of the most beautiful and diverse views :)

  • 5/5 Natalia C. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a free walking tour on 24th Nov with John who was an excellent, knowledgeable and passionate guide with a great sense of humor! He told us a lot of interesting facts about Dublin and taught some Irish phrases which I successfully forgot within 5min :D The tour was around 2,5h with a break, but time flew fast and I enjoyed this tour a lot!! Walking tour is definitely the best way to get to know the history of the city, hidden places and curious facts. Thank you John!:)

    Last week me and a friend had the chance to go to dublin and with were able to take a free walking tour. Our tour guide was brilliant, we would like to thank him for showing us the principal places of the city and to tell us about the history behind. The walking tour was so enjoyable that we immedeatly signed up to the The Howth tour, glad we did, it was an unforgettable experience. Once again, our guide was John, that told us all of the legends and history about the place with a lot of enthusiam, passion and knowledge.

  • 5/5 Raquel Vives F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great tour! I would say a MUST. We really enjoy every single tour with Sandeman's to be honest, they are never disappointing. This time the tour guide was particularly great, Sergio explained many details of Dublin's history and it's particularities, with anecdotes and in a very amusing, humorous and entertaining way, always paying attention and answering questions of the group. He also gave lots of tips after the tour. 100% recommended. Thanksssss!!

  • 5/5 K G. 5 years ago on Google
    I did the walking tour on a sunny nice November day with our guide, Ciaran. He was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge about the history of the city and also Ireland as a whole. Starting from the City Hall, finishing off at the Molly Malone statue, this tour offers lots of interesting facts about the major sights and historical locations of Dublin. There is also a 10-20 minute break in the Temple Bar area aswell with the choice of good coffee or even good beer. I highly recommend this free tour.

  • 5/5 Nigel Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this tour! Had Michael as a tour guide and he was very upbeat and really got into all the stories! Weather it be history or some funny stories of Ireland. Would definitely recommend without a doubt!

  • 5/5 Karl F. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent (free!) tour with our enthusiastic and knowledgable guide Conor. Did a great job of keeping it interesting and customising the tour to what the group asked - his interests in history, travel and culture shine through and he communicated it all with someone familiar in front of an audience. Would definitely recommend - and I don’t think there was a single person from our group that didn’t tip (though you wouldn’t technically need to).

  • 5/5 Marisa G. 2 years ago on Google
    We took the Free Walking Tour with John, and had an absolute blast!! It was not only extremely informative and interesting, but also very fun. John is great guide with an amazing sense of humor and a contagious passion and enthusiasm for Irish history and culture. He told us about Irish history, showed us around Dublin and gave us some tips on where to go to drink, eat and have fun as a local! 100% recommended!

  • 3/5 Reut F. 2 years ago on Google
    Really small group, eventually we were only 2 people, the guide was great, but I think that part of the experience is to meet other nationalities so too bad there were a lot signed up and didn't arrive. . Usually SANDSMAN are the best in town but it was a bit less good as always in Dublin Interesting city , especially the culture and actually- today's reality is more complicated then their past so thrilling to have a local Irish guy explaining the last 20 years for you as he is living here

  • 5/5 Jordan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Took the 3hr Free walking tour with Brian and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very friendly, knowledgeable guide with lots of interesting facts to share. Would definitely recommend as a great way to learn a brief history of the area to all newcomers!

  • 5/5 Rajat C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went with Carl Jackson who's been doing the tours for a long time. Sergio is the Spanish guide who also seemed to be very good. These guys put their heart into the tour. Carl was funny and very informative. In fact he compressed 10,000 years of history into 15 mins while doing roleplay... It was amazing. And great recommendations on pubs and things to checkout by yourself ... Solid recommendation was the Chester Beatty library which was free to watch, right next to Dublin Castle.

  • 5/5 Sarah A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such a great tour! Our tour guide Carl was very knowledgeable and shared quite a bit about Dublin and Ireland as a whole that I never knew before. The tour moved at a perfect pace with a stop for a quick snack along the way. If you’re in Dublin, I would definitely recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 Joey L. 1 year ago on Google
    Both my wife and I had a very enjoyable time with John during our June 25 Dublin walking tour. Got to know the history of Dublin, the implications of decisions then and how it affects lives now, the various places of interests and how John tells the story from his perspective. Very informative 2.5 hour walkabout and John even gives recommendations to places for dining, theater and more. Recommend anyone to sign up for the walking tour.

  • 5/5 Alex R. 1 year ago on Google
    I had booked the tour in Temple Bar district at 11 am. The tour guide was easy to spot (even though I was a little late) at the meeting point and was welcomed very friendly. From there, Stephen - an incredibly charismatic and friendly guide - took the group to the most important sights and found a funny /interesting way to tell us everything about "his" city. On the tour there is a short break after about 2h to grap a coffee. Stephen has an incredible historical background coupled with the great ability to convey this in a sympathic way. He gave very helpful hints/recommendations about great things that can be done after the tour and where to eat for dinner. He was able to answer every question competently and he was always open for an exchange with the group. I highly recommend a tour with Stephen!

    Fantastic walking tour of Dublin by Leti , she was amazingly knowledgeable and her personality shone through. These tours by locals are the best ways to orientate yourself and Leti didn’t disappoint . Thanks for such a great tour, learnt so much
