Family fun tours from Dublin
This tour is very suitable for families with children of all ages where you would like to keep the duration to a reasonable time but you would also like to get a little out of Dublin into the countryside for a genuine Irish experience such as visiting a sheep farm to experience a working sheepdog demonstration or maybe a working farm to learn about Irish nature and crops and to see some farm animals.
​
Alternatively we can also choose to stay in Dublin City where we can meet the roaming deer at the famous phoenix park, feed the ducks at St Stephen’s green and try some Irish sports along the way.
​
Whichever bespoke family friendly experience we choose will be complimented by some Dublin City highlights which will be chosen based on your own unique interests so that everybody is engaged.

1916 Irish Revolution Tour
On Easter Monday 24th April 1916, a small group of brave, determined men, women & children took on the might of the British empire, attempting to strike for Ireland’s freedom. We explore the historic city battlegrounds and sacred sights that still show the scars of battle over 100 years on and also visit the sacred resting place of the 14 martyrs where president Kennedy himself visited in 1963.
Dublin City and Pub Tour
This 5 hour tour is a Dublin City tour with a focus on our classic Dublin pub scene and Guinness culture but can also be local brewpubs, a whiskey distillery, cocktail bars or even gluten free Irish beer stop. The picks will be tailored especially for you and each will be unique and as we drive you’ll enjoy some local history and music.
Dublin Rivera and Glendalough Tour
We take the scenic route bringing us South along Dublin bay as we navigate up through the exclusive Dublin Riviera, home to famous Irish musicians Bono & Enya. From there we head for the beautiful and serene ancient monastic city of Glendalough, The valley of the 2 lakes. Part of Wicklow national park, it was founded as the hermitage of St Kevin in the 6th century!
After we explore the iconic ruined churches with their very old and ornate gravestones, soaring Celtic crosses and 30 metres high round tower which has always been the beacon to guide travellers to Glendalough, take a stroll at your own pace down to Upper Lake which is picture perfect.
Then we can choose a local lunch stop for some food and drinks before heading back in a Dublin direction where upon we can stop at Powerscourt estate for an optional whiskey tasting as well as good local Irish design shopping too before we continue on back to the city.
