Build English skills while discovering Dublin

1. Built for English-language learners

Our tours use simple, proven best-practice teaching methods created for students learning English. We start with light, fun storytelling to keep everyone engaged, then weave in gentle historical insights about Dublin and Ireland!

2. Clear, simple and easy to understand

Each of our guides is trained to communicate with clarity, adjusting speed and tone to match the group’s level. We use visual cues and plain language wherever possible. These small best-practice techniques make the experience comfortable and accessible for all learners.

3. Encouraging active English practice

Students learn best when they use the language, so our guides create small, friendly moments for participation — questions, short songs, simple group tasks or easy role-play. Nothing pressured, just natural opportunities to speak and build confidence.

4. Committed to high-quality experiences

We’re grateful to be Dublin’s highest-rated walking tour company, with over 1,100 TripAdvisor reviews — 98% of them 5-star. It’s something we take to heart, and it motivates us to maintain a warm, consistent and genuinely helpful experience for every group.

5. Fair pricing for language schools

We often meet student groups who haven’t enjoyed their tours with other tour companies or guides, and we want to change that. So we keep our pricing accessible for language schools, ensuring students get a high-quality, best-practice learning experience that still fits within typical group budgets, without compromising on care.

Your students deserve a tour that feels welcoming, engaging and genuinely memorable.

Carl W. Buehner

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!”
