Q: Why should I book a private tour instead of a bus tour?
A:Unlike crowded bus tours with generic scripts, Barry O'Brien's private walking tours offer an intimate, personalized experience. As a retired Irish Policeman and published historical author, Barry takes you to hidden corners of Dublin that buses simply cannot reach, sharing authentic stories you won't find in standard guidebooks.
Q: What qualifies Barry O'Brien to teach Irish history?
A:Barry spent over four decades serving in An Garda Siochana (the Irish Police Force). His deep, on-the-ground knowledge of Dublin is combined with years of rigorous historical research that led to his two acclaimed historical novels, 'The Notetakers' and 'Burning Down the House'.
Q: Is this tour suitable for families or private groups?
A:Yes. Our tours are exclusively private, capped at a maximum of 12 guests. This ensures a highly interactive, conversational experience tailored to your group's pace and specific historical interests.
