Hi, I’m Nick, 36 years old and currently living in the Netherlands. I spent over four years living in Ireland, where I completely fell in love with the country — its people, culture, and unique atmosphere. During my time in Dublin, I worked as a tour guide, leading both walking and cycling tours around the city. I know all the best local spots, cozy traditional pubs, and fascinating historical sites that most visitors never get to see. Now, I love sharing my passion for Ireland by organizing small group trips where we can experience Dublin the authentic way — through stories, laughter, and a few pints of Guinness, of course!

We’ll be staying in a comfortable and modern hostel located close to Dublin’s city center, making it easy to explore most of the highlights on foot. We will have one room with a private bathroom, ensuring comfort after a full day of adventures. The hostel offers a friendly, social atmosphere — perfect for relaxing together in the evenings, sharing stories, or planning the next day’s activities. Cafés, pubs, and local shops are all just around the corner, so you’ll get a real taste of local Dublin life right at your doorstep.

Dublin

Day 1-2

Friday – Arrival & Welcome Evening We’ll arrive in Dublin and meet up as a group to find a nice spot for dinner. Friday is all about settling in, enjoying some good food and drinks, and getting to know each other while we talk about the exciting days ahead. Of course, if you feel like exploring Dublin’s pub scene right away, we can visit a few great local spots together!

Dublin

Day 2-3

Saturday – Explore Dublin by Bike & Guinness Experience We’ll start the day early with a bike tour around Dublin, visiting some of the city’s most iconic landmarks such as St. Patrick’s Cathedral, St. Stephen’s Green Park, the Docklands, and the famous Samuel Beckett Bridge. Along the way, I’ll share stories about the city’s fascinating history and culture. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the Guinness Storehouse, where we’ll learn all about Ireland’s most famous beer — from the legendary 9,000-year lease to the brewing process itself. You’ll even get to pour your own perfect pint of Guinness and earn an official certificate as a Guinness master! We’ll finish the visit with a drink in the panoramic rooftop bar overlooking Dublin. After a short break to freshen up at the hostel, we’ll head out for an evening pub tour, visiting some of Dublin’s most iconic and traditional pubs.

Howth

Day 3-4

Sunday – Coastal Adventure in Howth On Sunday, we’ll take the train to the beautiful coastal village of Howth. Get ready for a refreshing hike along the cliffs with stunning sea views — the trail takes about two hours and is suitable for beginners. Afterwards, we’ll hop on a boat tour around Ireland’s Eye, a small island rich in wildlife and scenic beauty (the trip takes about an hour). Be prepared for some Irish weather — it can change quickly, so bring a rain jacket just in case! In the afternoon, we’ll return to Dublin where you’ll have some free time to relax, shop, or explore more of the city. I’ll be happy to give you personal recommendations for great spots to visit.
