Touring The Town – And Beyond
There’s no better way to see Dublin than in the company of an expert guide. Happily, a wide variety of fascinating tours highlighting different aspects of the city’s rich history and heritage are now available.
Want to make the very most of your time here? Then a motorised tour is the way to go. A highly entertaining and informative hop-on, hop-off open-top bus tour introduces the city’s many landmarks. These include the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol, Jameson Distillery, Temple Bar, Dublin Castle and Jeanie Johnston famine ship.
Vintage Tea Tours
Experience afternoon tea with a difference. Hop on board a fully restored 1960s vintage Routemaster double decker bus and be transported back in time where social media was non-existent and chats over tea reigned supreme. Indulge in a full afternoon tea spread of freshly made sandwiches, warm fruit scones with all the trimmings and of course delectable desserts. Sit back and relax with a cup of tea and let our hosts regale you with their favourite tales of Dublin as we take a jaunt through Dublin’s fair city. It's not a fully guided tour though so there is plenty of time for you and yours to have a wee gossip and catch up. This is afternoon tea with a difference. This is afternoon tea the Irish way. Guests of Stauntons on the Green receive a 10% discount.
Vintage Tea Tours offer a sedate twist on the standard bus tour with a spin around the city in a 1960s Routemaster bus. As the tour’s name suggests, you can enjoy tea and nibbles while learning about the locations passed along the way.
Viking Splash tours also visit Dublin’s must-see sights, but this time via land and water. Embarking on the other side of St. Stephen’s Green, your veteran amphibious vehicle drives around town before entering the water at Grand Canal Dock.
For a closer, more up-front-and-personal perspective on the city, a number of fascinating walking tours offer insights into different aspects of Dublin’s story:
Dublin Decoded introduces lesser-known stories behind the city’s most iconic locations, buildings and art. These range from Viking and medieval times, through to the modern era.
Insta Tours highlight Dublin’s picture-perfect spots, taking you to the exact locations and angles that give social media snaps a real edge.
The EPIC Emigration Walking Tour tells the long and often painful story of Irish emigration over the centuries. It also explains how Dublin’s Docklands was a vital economic engine long before the area evolved into today’s financial and tech powerhouse.
Pat Liddy’s Private Tours reveal corners of the city that even many native Dubliners do not know. Pat and his team have an unparalleled knowledge of the city and its characters and share many funny, tragic and sometimes bizarre stories.
If you’d like to venture further afield, day tours are available to the beautiful monastic site of Glendalough, the Boyne Valley’s Neolithic passage tombs and many other enthralling locations. Our staff can recommend tours you might find of particular interest or relevance – just ask!
