We decided to do this, as it was a small blurb in the Rick Steve Travel Guide. We met at the little museum just north of St.Stephens Green and from there on it was amazing. It is FREE and you go out either for a beer or tea. My wife and I decided to do this and we met up... More

My family and I took advantage of an excellent (and free) service we were made aware of called "Meet a Dubliner". We met with Mary, a native Irishman and member of the program, who took us to a local pub for a drink so that we could "chat". Mary was a wealth of information, whether it involved things to do...

After an incredible weeklong stay in Ireland, we decided to sign up for the City of a Thousand Welcomes visit with a native Dubliner and we will always remember our experience.

We were greeted most charmingly and made to feel so welcome, from the time we buzzed the door, until our guide left us at Trinity College in the late afternoon.

City of a Thousand Welcomes is just that. We went for tea with our ambassador and learned so much as well as we had such... More

I stayed in Dublin for a week last summer and since I went there solo to do some research I thought the programm would be nice to get to know at least one person in Dublin. I already knew a lot about the city, so I had asked for somebody who might know something about Dublin literature. And I was... More
