About Your Guide
Brendan is a fully qualified and accredited Irish National and Local Tour Guide. He came up with the walking Dublin tours idea based on his knowledge of the city and its streetscape, which he developed over many years as he made his way to and from his various city workplaces. On his many journeys he often passed visitors in the street who were having difficulty trying to find their way around the compact but complex city centre. He decided to put his decades of street wandering to good use by offering these visitors a service to guide them around the streets he loves. Walking Dublin tours was born!!
Brendan knows many of those not so obvious places that will make a visit to Dublin even more enjoyable and he can take you to these places if you join him for an easy paced walk. Brendan loves music, history, food and rugby, if you give him a chance he will happily chat with you on any of those subjects.
He is also partial to a pint or two (Guinness, of course) and he can bring you to pubs that Dublin visitors may not easily find. So, if you want some easy going fun and entertainment – and a little history thrown in – book a private walking tour of Dublin with Brendan.
