Just like a breath of fresh air, the Irish capital of Dublin is a lively and exciting place to relish. Indeed, just like Ireland itself, this thriving and cultured metropolis has a strong impact on millions of hearts and minds.
Music, art, and literature have always been part of Dublin’s pride and honour. In 2010, it was awarded the UNESCO City of Literature in recognition of its cultural profile and literary excellence; an achievement, not every city can attain. The arts scene was always in need of strong creativity and individuality, which shows in Dublin’s intricate architecture and designs.
It’s not just art and culture you can look forward to; Dublin also boasts great shopping, interesting religious buildings, and an energetic nightlife.

Hi there! I am Diana :) My passion in life (next to my loved ones) is travelling and meeting new people, showing others the beauty of the world, art in various forms. My private guided day tours are experiences that are unique and are a great way to do an interesting activity without being overwhelmed. You get to do something only few other travellers would get to do and a chance to gain a local perspective. As your guide, I want to open you the door to Ireland's untouched beauty, from scenic cliffs to fairytale like forests and would point out many details you wouldn’t uncover on your own. You might also like to do an activity which can be difficult without local knowledge, like hiking or horse riding, - I am here to help and guide you. I’ll handle all the planning and the driving on the left hand side of the road, so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and soak in the beautiful sights and compelling stories. Ireland won’t leave you untouched and I will be delighted to be your guide and ‘local expert’ here. Hope to see you on one of my trips to the heart and soul of our beautiful country!

Hi - I’m Anne - a native Dubliner. I love this ancient city and am passionate about sharing the history and hidden gems. We have cathedrals, Georgian architecture, castles, distilleries, museums, libraries. Let me show you where the Vikings arrived and founded Dublin 1000 years ago. I also like to visit Wicklow and Newgrange - prehistoric sites an hour from Dublin. I always ensure visitors have a fun day out - and when you have earned it - shopping is option or a pint of Guinness. Contact me for any questions or requests.
