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.

11. A guestroom for two in the heart of Dublin
The Temple Bar area features loads of pubs, eateries, shops and sightseeing attractions arranged in a compact zone that’s easily traveled on foot. So while the accommodations in this area score lots of points on convenience, they may not be great for travelers keen on having some peace and quiet during their stay. This guestroom for two is located in a loft-style apartment just outside the Temple Bar area. Adorned with some cool pop art pieces, the apartment is great for people-watching through its big windows. Wireless internet and cable TV are available. The host provides simple breakfast like cereals and tea/coffee.

12. An eclectic guestroom across the river
Just like the Thames River that divides London into two geographical regions, the Liffey River does the same to Dublin. Once there was a cultural division on either side of the river (working class on the north side, and upper-middle class on the south side), but modern redevelopment has removed such a divide. This guestroom for one, with a wonderfully eclectic decor, is on the opposite bank to the Temple Bar area, but just a mere walking distance away. The host has prepared a Dublin guide with a list of places to eat, drink and socialize. You are also welcomed to play his guitar and Xbox!

13. A cozy guestroom for solo or business travelers
Who would have thought that the most iconic building in Dublin is….a post office? Yes, the General Post Office is the last of the great Georgian public buildings erected in the capital, and it majestically overlooks O'Connell Street, the city’s main thoroughfare. The road starts on the east end of the Temple Bar area, past the O'Connell Bridge into the north bank of the Liffey River, and is lined with monuments and statues of various Irish political leaders. This cozy guestroom for one, with wireless internet and washing machine, is a good option if you want to explore that part of town, being situated close to the river and its many bridges. It’s great for solo and business travelers.

14. A homey guestroom near ancient cathedral
The Temple Bar area is part of the “Old City” of Dublin, which has been in existence since the 17th century. It is flanked by two age-old institutions: the Christ Church Cathedral, the oldest building in Dublin, and the Trinity College, Ireland’s most prestigious university. This homey guestroom for two is located near the cathedral, making it a great base to start exploring the historic aspects of the city. If you get to meet the hosts, they are only too willing to help you plan your sightseeing itineraries around the city. The apartment is situated in the Temple Bar area, and traditional Irish pubs are right on its doorsteps, as is a designer market on Saturdays selling fashion accessories.

15. A top-floor apartment opposite City Hall
This top-floor apartment for two is right opposite the City Hall on the main street that borders the Temple Bar area. A few bus services ply the street, and you can use them to reach sightseeing spots south of the area such as St. Stephen’s Green, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the National Gallery of Ireland. The apartment is plainly decorated but has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. And of course, great cafes and eateries can be found right on the ground floor.

16. A no-frills room near photogenic spots
For many travelers, the best spot in Dublin for an Instagram-worthy selfie must be in the middle of a bridge across the Liffey River. There are two pedestrian bridges that connect the Temple Bar area to the north bank, the Ha'Penny Bridge and the Millennium Bridge. The Ha'Penny Bridge is by far the prettier one, but you’ll have to share it with plenty of other tourists. This no-frills double guestroom in the Temple Bar area is not far from the bridges, and you might even find good photo opportunities along the cobbled walking streets of the area.
