Reviews
Stunning tour with many sights you will not have seen or things you may have past and not noticed.
Eoin was great and helpful and meeting the team was a pleasure. To see the work done and understand some of the art genuinely brings about an appreciation.
Will be joining these tours again!
Highly recommend!
‘I have been on this tour and two other tours offered by Alternative Dublin and they are all excellent. The guide, Owen, is full of enthusiasm and knowledge and has a great sense of humor. These are 'off the beaten path' tours where you will learn things you won't hear on a general tour of Dublin.
At the end of the tour, Owen is happy to provide recommendations for pubs, restaurants, music venues, etc. He really loves his city and wants you to love it also’
Highly recommend Street Art with Owen to everyone. Very informative and magical. Funny, at the same time real and moving. Thank you
What an amazing event! Louise the artist was brilliant and was very helpful. The crew at Drink and Draw are really nice and great fun!
I wasn’t sure whether to come along to this as going to things alone can be a bit daunting, but it looked fun and the reviews were really good! It was a great night and I’m really glad I went! The hosts and all the guests I met were super lovely, funny, easy going and supportive! I had a great time and would definitely come back next time I’m in Dublin. Would love to bring friends as well!
