Our first stop after dropping our bags at the hotel was to meet up with our guide for this program. We met our guide at a restaurant where we had some drinks provided by our guide and she gave us a tour of the city to get us oriented with Dublin. We were all so thankful for the bit of... More

This was one of the best things we did in Ireland. Our ambassador, Ruth Ryan, discussed a variety of topics with us, gave us an "insider's view", and answered all the questions we could think of. We had plans for touring the entire country, and she went over our itinerary with us. Based on her suggestions, we made some modifications,... More

I highly recommend this program. Our Ambassador (whose name I sadly cannot remember, but I want to say Henry) was charming and extremely knowledgeable about Dublin's history, as well as local attractions. We had a couple of pints with him in a nearby pub and talked about restaurants, theater and museums, and could have chatted with him for hours. We... More

We loved the meeting with our Ambassador Bob. It was an absolutely marvellous start of our 10 days stay in Dublin. It was a pleasure to talk to Bob, a very warm and welcoming gentleman. Although I had lived in Dublin some time ago and knew my way around, we got helpful hints concerning public transport and were filled in... More

We visited Dublin in May 12. Thanks to your association, we lived a very pleasant moment. We met with great pleasure Frances Newman in the Merrion Hotel. She made of our stay an unforgettable moment.

During our first visit to Ireland in April 2012, a friend and I met with Esther, one of the Dublin Ambassadors, at the Little Museum. She suggested several options: a pint at a pub, coffee at Bewley's Cafe, or tea at the Merrion Hotel. We decided on the Merrion, a lovely setting for what proved to be a delightful conversation....

I read about this in a guide book and since it wasn't out of the way and I had never been to Dublin and it didn't cost anything, I figured why not. It was a great experience. The gentleman I met with and I had three pints together and I felt like we could have talked all night. Absolutely a... More

We booked with the Dublin Ambassadors program before leaving on our Ireland tour as we wanted to make the most of our excursion of the city. We had a delightful lunch with a Dublin Ambassador Sheila Brady, who took us to lunch at Bewley’s 1840 restaurant. She was full of history, quips and tips having lived there most of her... More
