Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A great walking tour!!
Wow Eamon is a true professional, with all his stories , his knowledge of the historical facts is amazing. A wonderful afternoon spent walking through Dublin City. Eamon was very conscious of my wife’s mobility and totally based the tour around her abilities. What a way to re-live the Easter Rising.

Great Tour!
We (Irish, Tunisian, Moroccan and Lithuanian/Argentinian) spent a very entertaining and informative few hours in Eamon's company, where he really brought the city to life. He introduced us to many of the city's well known attractions and also a huge amount of its 'less known' quirky attractions. All are introduced with a wit and guile that only a guide with a natural talent possesses! Eamon was very generous with his time and really made our tour a special one!

A day packed with learning and fun!
We had only one day in the city and wanted to see and learn as much as possible. Eamon went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the important sights, as well as some extra stops we never would have found on our own. Eamon is so friendly, knowledgeable and eager to share great stories about Dublin. I would highly recommend his tour.

Amazing layover
Solo
I had a 7 hour layover in Dublin and I wanted to see as much of the city as I could without missing my connecting flight. Eamon made that possible and so much more! He knows so much about this amazing city and is eager to share it with the world! I recommend touring with him because you will learn so much and see so much that normal yours would miss. If you are thinking of doing a tour, definitely do it with Eamon!

History Tour of Dublin with Eamon
We had a lovely afternoon walking around Dublin, taking in the sights and learning about the culture and traditions. Eamon was very knowledgeable about the history of Dublin and Ireland as a whole and very passionate. Time went by quickly and we covered so much in what felt like a very short space of time. We got great recommendations for the rest of our vacation and we highly recommend Eamon.

Great guide to the city!
We only had one day to spend in Dublin, so we couldn’t have been luckier than to book this tour with Eamon. We saw so much and learned so much on this tour, had a lovely pub stop, and were able to ask all our questions about Dublin history and culture. I cannot recommend him enough!

A must do when in Dublin
Couples
This is a must tour if you want to get a real insight into the 1916 rebellion. Eamon is very knowledgable not only on the uprising but Dublin in general.
You can feel the passion Eamon has for Irish history.
