1. The tour is designed specifically for students of the English language.

Our guides aim firstly to entertain the students. Then we can retain their attention with fun, interactive lessons. In this way, we can sneak in some historical information about Dublin and Ireland.

2. Always easy to understand

All our guides are selected for, and trained to mitigate their mild accents. Thoroughout the tour, they will constantly control the speed, clarity and simplicity of their speech, based on the needs of the group. Visual aids will be used as frequently as possible.

3. Practicing their English

A great entertaining and educational tour is all well and good, but it’ s useless unless the students actually improve their English. So, our guides will often ask questions to the students (both as individuals & as a group), teach them parts of songs to sing, or even have them act out scenes.

4. Dedicated to Quality

We are Dublin’s highest rated walking tour company. Need proof? We have over 500 reviews on TripAdvisor and 98% of them are 5-star.

5. Discounted for language schools

Walking around Dublin, we are often distraught at the sight of a group of language students who are being bored to death by an ineffectual tour guide. To save as many students as we can from this fate, we have committed to heavily discounting our tours so that they can fit within the budget of such groups.

“They may forget what you said…but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

Carl W. Buehner

“If you want to make a class outing unforgettable – just book Garvan! He is the best guide for any student age group. Irish history, Irish pride, Irish music, Irish literature – everything becomes so authentic and full of life because of his special way of presenting things. And even in case of having problems caused by your travel agency at home – Garvan will help you on the spot.”

– Ulrike W., grammar school in Germany

“We’ve used Dublin Tour Guide for our English language students groups on several occasions and got great feedback on Maitiú, Cathal and Garvan. They speak slowly and clearly so everyone can understand. They are also young and fun so they connect with the students very well. The Dublin Tour is a regular in our activities timetable!”

– Suzane, local Language School

“Everyone knows how hard it is to engage teenagers, let alone Italians , some of whom had only a basic knowledge of English. All I can say is WOW and thank you! We had three EXCELLENT guides, John Caffrey, Breda Konstantin and Maura Walsh.”

– Language Experience Abroad Ltd

“The walk was very interesting, Cathal succeeded in combining historical facts with interesting details and little stories. The students, who have been learning English for about 6.5 years could understand him easily and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. And even the weather was perfect!”
