AB TOURS, SEE DUBLIN WITH A LOCAL EXPERT
My Name is Alan Byrne, I’m a tour guide and historian, and have lived in Dublin my whole life. I have several relevant qualifications in History and Tourism and would love to show you the city through the eyes of a local expert.
Experienced Local Guide
I qualified with a Bachelor’s degree in History in 2016, a Masters in History in 2017 and a National Tour Guiding Award in 2020. I have over three years guiding experience in Dublin and around Ireland. I also work part-time as an archive research assistant on an upcoming biography of former leader of Ireland Charles J. Haughey. I have the qualifications, the experience and a local’s insider knowledge to provide an unforgettable tour of Dublin.
Treasures of Dublin
With a custom tour of Dublin we can see all the major sites from Viking settlements, to medieveal castles and cathedrals, to Georgian Dublin and its beautiful parks. I can escort tours to popular sites such as the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College as well as lesser known sites in the city. An Irish meal and drink can also be arranged as part of a tour.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
I aim to provide a genuine authentic view of Dublin through the eyes of a qualified local. I aim to deliver peace of mind for planning your trip to Ireland, and can help create a custom tour to suit your interests and availability. See my testimonial section for past guests’ ratings.
