# Authentic Dublin private tour by van Top guide Éamonn up to 8 PAX

In our comparison: #4 of 28 in City Tours & Sightseeing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

When you book Eamonn, You get Eamonn! I do not farm out tours to other operators, I am all in with you! Expect my absolute best as that is what you will get every single time.

My own original, extremely flexible and carefully curated Dublin private tours are a fun mix of Irish history, traditional Irish music, scenic coastal drives, our famous Dublin pub & whiskey culture, sightseeing photo stops and all while I am taking the very best care of you personally.

As we drive, you'll learn about our brave revolutionaries, Ireland's emigration & the famine, religion, the native Irish language, Guinness family history & just what’s it’s like to grow up in Ireland.

This tour is designed by me personally to show you what really matters in Dublin and doesn’t overlap with any large bus or walking tour. Family friendly for all ages and fitness levels.

Includes Irish snacks and an optional free whiskey tasting should you like to try my onboard delights ;)

See you in Dublin!

Eamonn
