Meet Our Dublin Tour Guides

At Dublin Tour Guide, it's personality that makes the difference — we hire for character, not just experience.

Guiding experience can be acquired through training, but a personality that’s right for Dublin Tour Guide is forged through years of personal development. The most important aspect of Dublin Tour Guide is finding guides who share the same ethos our company was founded on—wanting to give people the greatest tour experience they’ve ever had. We’re proud to say that all of our guides can deliver a tour that clients often call the best they’ve ever had.

Our training doesn’t start from scratch. We only hire guides who have completed official training and have at least one year of experience. This allows us to focus on elevating their skills to the next level, ensuring every tour is exceptional.

What Makes a Special Dublin Tour Guide

Energy

The reason why people say (about our “(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours tour”) that “5 hours just flies by” is because we know how to keep you energised and engaged throughout your tour, regardless of how long it is. Our tours commonly involve strategically placed breaks so that you (and the guide) can recharge. Most significantly, because of our understanding of energy cycles, our tours are perfect to shake off jet lag. So if you’re scheduled to arrive in Dublin after a red-eye flight, don’t let your first day in Ireland be a write-off. A tour is just the medicine to cure your jet lag.

Passion

Our guides become tour guides because they are passionate and fascinated by Irish culture and history, and have studied it extensively. They love making a connection with the great people they meet and become dedicated to our mission of striving to make the experience the best tour you’ll ever have!

Enthusiasm

There’s nothing more disappointing than getting excited about exploring a city only for the guide to start reciting information as if they say the same thing every day. Our guides do a different tour every single time because we customise the tour for you, e.g. starting at your hotel lobby. So they remain passionate about communicating the information. The guides are also naturally extroverted, so they become energised by talking to people.

Personality

Nobody wants to experience a city’s vibrancy and multifaceted culture with someone who has the personality of a dusty book. All of our guides have great personalities. Although we can do tours for academics, our approach is that the personality and intelligence of the guide should be at the forefront.
