Dublin Tour Guides
Alan
Alan is a native local Dubliner, an accredited National Tourist Guide of Ireland and member of ATGI, Approved Tourists Guides of Ireland. As one of Generation Tours longest serving guides in Dublin, and with extensive knowledge of the local history, folklore, architecture, literature, and pubs of his home city, Alan is adept at delivering an authentic Dublin experience and showing you the funny sides of local history.
Dan
Dan is an accredited National Tourist Guide of Ireland and member of ATGI, Approved Tourists Guides of Ireland, and one of Generation Tours Dublin’s longest serving tour guides. Dan’s love of all things absolute in their Dublin-ness was shaped by childhood weekends spent in the shadow and aroma of the Guinness Brewery, in the markets of the Liberties, from where the chants of stall keepers, the stories of characters who had long since passed and, of course, a spiced pork known only in working-class areas of Dublin would years later find their place in his excellent tour of the city.
Keith
Keith James is a writer, a theatrical practitioner, and a historical tour guide in Dublin City for more than six years. He has a keen interest in all things historical and literary based. He resides in the Liberties, one of Dublin's most colourful and treasured inner-city districts. There is always the possibility you may see one of his plays during your stay in the city and last year his work was produced by the Abbey theatre, Ireland's National Theatre originally founded by W.B Yeats and Lady Gregory. Follow is his leathery footsteps as he leads you through the stories of our wonderful city.
Kieran
When he's not pounding the cobbles of Dublin, skulling pints in his favourite watering holes, or guiding visitors through the world-renowned authentic nightlife of the Irish capital, Kieran loves nothing more than to curl up at home with a good book, baking, and getting lost in the worlds of filmmaker John Hughes. Ask him who his favourite breakfast club character is. The answer may surprise you!
Ollie
Ollie hails from the Badlands of Tallaght, a suburb in the west of Dublin. With a huge interest in Irish history, folklore and mythology, his tours have been described as “enlightening” and “wildly educational”. When not delivering enlightenment to the good travellers of the world, he enjoys playing music, cooking, and cycling!
Rex
Rex Ryan is a Writer, Actor, and has a podcast called Lets Have Rex on iTunes.
He has, since the dawn of his existence, found himself absolutely enthralled by the Mythic-mayhemic-madness of Dublin. He will share this love with you on the tour. And, if all else fails, he'll just do a monologue or something.
Ruairí
Ruairí is a Dublin native, born and raised from the sunny Southside. He has a great interest in Ireland’s extensive and wondrous history, as well as its beautiful language, which he believes is reflected in his tours. Whether this is true or not is anyone’s guess. As well as traipsing the city, his other interests lie in playing music, and learning languages – albeit somewhat badly.
Seán
The delightful Seán has been guiding singing tours of the city since 2015 and performing traditional music all over Dublin for a decade. He holds thousands of stories and hundreds of songs, absorbing them from his elders since he was a little lad. The bardic tradition is alive and well in Ireland and being able to tell a tale and spin a yarn is important for every one of us, Seán feels, as a way of relating to each other and the world. While playing tunes and songs with his band, The Deadlians, entertains crowds familiar with his music, the thrill of guiding new friends through the songs, stories and streets of Dublin remains, according to Seán, “…hands down the best job I’ve ever had!”
