"I had the opportunity to do the Churches and Cathedrals tour. The journey had something special because the guide was passionate about Irish culture and language. It was fascinating to hear stories and facts about Dublin and see the beautiful churches that make the city a rich culture. I highly recommend this Tailteann Tours for the excellent customer service."

"We enjoyed spending part of our day with Antoin. Due to some scheduling issues, he was gracious enough to rearrange his schedule for our tour, which we really appreciated. He is very knowledgeable about the city, was punctual and very accommodating. He even offered to extend our tour to cover extra areas."

In addition to the information about the various buildings, parks, statues, etc. in Dublin, Antoin gave us an in-depth history lesson of Ireland - the Vikings, the famine, the 1916 rebellion, the many poets and writers, etc. I highly recommend taking a tour of Dublin with Antoin!"

"Antóin took us on a long 5h walk through Dublin. With lots of passion delving into the cities Viking history and more recent the Irish struggle for freefom. Not forgetting to show us the brightest Georgian building and the darkest Irish pubs where Davy Arthur and the Fureys used to play and some of the colourful Dublin figures dwelled. Thanks Antóin for showing us your city!"

Antoin was a great guide with such a wealth of information and knowledge about the history of Dublin and its origin and how over the centuries, things have changed.

Nassau’s nostalgia

This tour is intended to make you welcome
The chances of getting lost happen quite seldom
If I happen to go on a terrible rant
Don’t get mad just give me a chance
As I speak at length about St. Patrick and Wells
Of earthquakes and writers and love stories pray tell
Of Vikings and Kings and food to enhance
My tour of Nassau we hope will leave you entranced.

We might even meet Nora down in the pub
Or hear of the feats of the numerous Dubs
Who make up our tale of Nassau’s surrounds
If we still had old money I’d bet you a pound
So follow me now as we set out together
This is Ireland so you can be sure of good weather
No I’m not joking so follow me now as I stride out
On Nassau and think of the sounds
That make this an interesting tale that abounds
Of all you’d expect in this interesting town

It's a doctor I want not a trip to the Zoo
I don't want to complain so I suppose I'll make do
With the rest of the cast chimapanzees and all
I'll wait on old Leopold to give me the call
Frolics and fun down Merrion Road way
World shattering explosions as we head for the quay
Emulsions and ointments are here to be found
While Oscar James Bernard are absolutely sound
What more can we offer what more can I say
Except join me and take a stroll down old memory way
