Overview

Hi! My name is Marina Boyle and I’m a 26-year-old Dublin native ready to lead you through my beautiful hometown! Through my five-star rated audio guide, recordings and a custom map will guide you through a half-day adventure exploring captivating coastal Dublin. You'll venture beyond the city centre and into seaside villages full of hidden gems and antique charm. You'll be well equipped with downloadable audio, a map, and visual guides that will provide comprehensive history and modern-day recommendations.

The tour starts in beautiful Dun Laoghaire before winding through three more scenic villages filled with castles, harbours, museums, parks and pubs. The audio tour format allows you to complete the 3 mile walk at your own pace - whether you're stopping for a snack, taking some pictures, or chatting with the locals. The stories you'll hear about the points of interest will help you to feel much more connected to where you are, and hopefully make you laugh a few times as well!
