What Our Customers Say About Our Private Tour of Dublin City

Pam Knisley

We had the best day exploring Dublin City with Gregory and Craigie from Claddagh Tours. They showed us far more than we ever expected, making the experience truly unforgettable.

Our tour included highlights such as Trinity College & the Book of Kells, Phoenix Park, the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, the EPIC Centre, and Dublin Castle.

What made the day even more special was that they tailored the pace to suit me, which I really appreciated.

I would highly recommend Claddagh Tours to anyone looking for a personalised and enriching experience in Dublin!
