"Historical Walking Tours score 10/10 for educational value, 10/10 for entertainment value and 10/10 for guide Peter's outstanding blend of history and humour. The Original Dublin Walking Tour is still the best!"
Irish Times

"This is your best introductory walk. A group of hardworking history graduates - many of whom have claim to have done more than kissed the Blarney Stone - enliven Dublin's historic strip."
Rick Steve's Ireland 2008

"All you'll need for a visit to Dublin."
Sunday Times

"Belatedly, for which apologies, I just wanted to let you know that my group thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour with Edward on 12th October.  He was an outstanding guide and his energy and passion for his subject matter were infectious.  It made for a great introduction for many to Ireland and even the "locals" such as myself came away with new insights. Thanks again for setting this up for us and good luck with the business.  I was very impressed that Dublin now has so many excellent activities to offer to visitors and this tour was certainly one of the highlights of the visit for many in the group." Keith Ruddock (Shell)

"Historial Tours provided our group of college students a stimulating and enjoyable tour of central Dublin. Our guide was entertaining, informative, and provided a climate in which our group could ask all kinds of questions (they had just flown into Dublin that morning). Without question, I would book with Historial Tours again."
David Livert, PhD, Assistant Professor of Applied Psychology, Penn State University Lehigh Valley

"Tours with this award-winning outfit are like 2-hour primers on Dublin's historic landmarks, from medieval walls and Viking remains around Wood Quay, to the architectural splendors of Georgian Dublin, to highlights of Irish history."
Frommers Tour Book

"I organised the historical tour for a group of Western Europeans visiting Ireland. I was apprehensive about joining the tour myself and felt that being from Ireland I would be bored and also that the tour could not be as exciting as the pub crawl tours. I was very wrong. The tour was highly informative and enjoyable and the guide (Tommy) was very knowledgeable, witty and enthusiastic. He went to great lengths to keep everyone's interest and to continually bring humour and jokes into the tour. I especially liked that he went into the 'politics' behind the history of Ireland and reasons why events happened - something you wouldn't find in the history books."

"Carol's training as a professional historian really added depth to the tour without ever descending into a recitation of dry facts.  On the contrary, the tour was lively, entertaining, and well-paced.  I've recommended it to friends."
Karen Racine, Associate Professoe, Department of History, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada

"Carol is fact-filled, informative, clever and funny.  Her tour was the perfect combination of scholarly history and humorous anecdote.  To say I learned a thing or two would be a gross understatement."
Kelly Younger, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of English, Loyola Marymount University, LA

SURELY, A MUST!!! REALLY INFORMATIVE AND TRULY INTERESTING IN ALL POSSIBLE ASPECTS!!!
Julia V Sharapove, PhD, Associate Prefessor of English Department, Herzen State Pedagogical Univeristy of Russia

"Edward provided a wonderful mixture of information, wit and storytelling to produce the perfect tour. I'll go again next year!"
Stacy Donovan, University of Reading, UK

"Peter was funny, entertaining and extremely informative. The tour provided us with all the information we needed to understand Ireland's history, politics and fantastic people. We would strongly recommend it as a must when you arrive in Dublin."
Mary Dent, Pickering, Ontario, Canada

"I never knew that historians could be so funny and informative at the same time. This tour was easily the highlight of my trip to Ireland. For any of you who may be a bit confused about Irish history, go on this tour.... It will save you hours of reading."
Steven James, Melbourne, Australia
