You will take six hours touring in the Dublin city centre and it’s environs with your personal guide. There are so many options within this compact and small city he will assist you planning the best way to see it. The Georgian squares are rightly famed, as are Christchurch and St. Patrick’s Cathedrals. Trinity College is impossible to avoid but the outlying castles villages in the suburbs are well worth a visit. There were over three hundred grand houses in what are now the city suburbs. These offer a great way to get away from the tourists and city centre on a road less travelled. Passing through the luxurious suburben districts to a quick city village could be the best way to get out of the town centre.
