Dublin: where literary legends, lively music and warm welcomes await
The cobblestones of Temple Bar worn smooth by centuries of footsteps. The River Liffey reflecting Georgian townhouses painted in soft pastels. The warmth of a traditional pub where fiddles sing and strangers become friends over pints of velvety Guinness. Dublin doesn't just invite you to visit – it invites you in. This is a city where James Joyce wandered, where Oscar Wilde perfected his wit and where street musicians still fill the air with impromptu sessions. Georgian doors in every shade of the rainbow line elegant squares. Medieval cathedrals stand shoulder to shoulder with modern galleries. Our small group tours of Dublin let you experience it all, from iconic landmarks to local haunts where the craic is always mighty.

What to do in Dublin
Walk through 800 years at Trinity College
Founded in 1592, Trinity College isn't just Ireland's oldest university – it's a living chronicle of the nation's story. Pass through the iconic Front Gate and you'll find yourself in a quaint courtyard where students have debated, dreamed and discovered for more than four centuries. The Old Library houses the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript from around 800 AD whose intricate Celtic knots and vibrant colours still take your breath away. Stand beneath the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Long Room, flanked by 200,000 ancient texts, and you'll understand why this is often called the most beautiful library in the world.
Pour yourself into Dublin's pub culture
Dublin's pubs aren't just places to drink – they're institutions where generations have gathered to share stories, music and the famous Irish craic. Visit the Guinness Storehouse and you'll learn how Arthur Guinness transformed Irish brewing, from the perfect pour to the science behind those creamy bubbles. Then venture into Temple Bar, where traditional music spills onto cobblestone streets every evening. At historic pubs like The Brazen Head (Ireland's oldest, dating to 1198), you can savour hearty Irish stew, perfectly battered fish and chips and a pint pulled with pride. But it's not just about the food and drink – it's about the warm welcome that makes every visitor feel like a regular.
Discover Dublin's painted doorways and Georgian secrets
While tourists cluster around Temple Bar, Dublin's real charm reveals itself in the Georgian squares north and south of the Liffey. Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square showcase Dublin's 18th-century golden age through elegant townhouses with their famous colourful doors – each one a different shade of red, blue, yellow or green (legend says they helped drunk residents find their way home). Wander these peaceful streets and you'll stumble upon hidden gems: the Chester Beatty Library with its priceless manuscripts, intimate literary museums in writers' former homes and charming cafés tucked into basement kitchens. This is the Dublin that Dubliners know – elegant, literary and refreshingly free from crowds.
