“Great guide, great tips and insights ”
Evin showed us around some very interesting places on and off the touristy bits of the city centre. He was very happy and competent in answering our questions and seemed super knowledgeable, whilst putting it all into relatable stories. If we had one minor wish for next time, it would be great to find some quieter places to listen to him, which would be more comfortable, although we are aware of course that this is difficult in the busy city centre. Other then that, great experience:-)

“More Than History – Understanding the Irish Soul”
We did this tour as a family and really enjoyed it. Evin has a calm, clear way of telling stories — easy to follow even for non-native English speakers. Rather than just walking past the famous sites, he focused on Ireland’s revolutionary history and helped us understand how it shaped the Irish people today. He was happy to answer questions along the way. Would recommend.

“Brilliant tour, Evin is a gem”
It turned out I was the only person on the tour and Evin went ahead anyway! He is a fountain of knowledge with an eye for surprising and informative stories, building a vivid picture of Dublin's community and development through British rule. It was great to hear about ordinary people who did extraordinary things through a broad raft of time, and it's made me look at the city totally differently. It was a privilege to do all of this in direct conversation, Evin's dedication is remarkable, I couldn't recommend more highly!

“Stories of people ”
Evin's tour focused on the story of individuals in Dublin's history and was planned to give an insight into how the city developed.

Evin gave a good foundation and feeling for the history and especially the reasons and societal changes across the last couple of centruies that led to the Irish Revolution. He had solid knowledge on the main topics and some fun trivia. Also a great guy to talk to who will give his best to answer all your questions and isn't shy to give some recomendations for lunch etc. Had a great time!

“Dublin walking tour”
The tour was a great way to learn about the people and the places that played a role in Ireland's path to independence. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories with us. It's also a great way to see some of lesser known spots of the city, which we might not have visited otherwise.

Ryan was such a great guide and he explained us the importance of the big events happening between 1912 to 1923 shaping the history of Ireland and Dublin, as well as the relevance of women and queer communities in this period of time. Super highly recommended, as his anecdotes and chattiness made everything so much nicer. Super recommended!

Evin started out by telling us about his background, which is in architecture, but he was extremely knowledgeable. He made the history come to life as he showed us around different parts of downtown Dublin. He says he has only been doing this a couple of weeks, but you would never know that.

“Interesting, helpful, funny, private tour”
Evin was a very friendly, funny and good informed local guide. It was a bit difficult to see the meeting point, but he luckily found us. We learned a lot about old and modern history in Ireland/Dublin. Although we were only 2 people who booked the tour that day, the tour took place and became a private tour, where we could ask lots of questions and get recommendations for our stay in Dublin. The tour was very interesting and helpful. Thank you!
