Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about public dates, booking, private groups and planning a Dublin walking tour.
How many people join a public tour?
Every public departure has a maximum of 10 guests, plus your local guide. That keeps the group personal, with room for questions, conversation and recommendations. Private group sizes are agreed separately when we prepare your quotation.

Highlights of Dublin, Women of Ireland and 1916 & Revolutionary Dublin cost €20 per person. The Guinness Tasting Tour costs €69 per person and includes three tastings. Private tours are quoted for your group.
Which tours are public?
Highlights of Dublin, Guinness Tasting, Women of Ireland, and 1916 & Revolutionary Dublin are our four public experiences. Every one is also available privately.
How long are the tours?
The Guinness tasting tour lasts two and a half hours. Every other public and private tour lasts two hours.

Are 1916 and Rebel City separate tours?
They are now one experience: 1916 & Revolutionary Dublin. The Easter Rising is the centrepiece, with the wider rebellion, independence and civil-war story providing context.

What will we experience on a tour?
Explore Dublin’s landmarks, streets and stories with a local guide. Our walking tours discover the sights from outside, while the Guinness experience brings you into Dublin pubs for three tastings. You can complement your walk with a separately booked visit to the Book of Kells or St Patrick’s Cathedral.
Can children join?
Ask about the subject and walking route before booking younger visitors. The Guinness tasting experience is for adults aged 18 and over.
What if I have access needs?
Tell us about walking distance, steps, seating or other practical requirements before booking. Routes use public streets and may include uneven paving and cobbles; pub access can vary.
How should I prepare for Dublin’s weather?
Dress comfortably for the forecast, with layers, suitable footwear and rain protection when needed. Your booking information includes the weather arrangements for your tour.
Who will guide my tour?
A local guide from the Dublin Walking team brings each experience to life, sharing stories, answering questions and helping you get to know the city.
How does the enquiry form work?
Share your plans and we will check availability. Once your enquiry is received, you will get a reference. We will then agree the tour details and guide you through the steps to confirm your booking.
