The experience

About this quest

Dublin, Ireland. A peaceful morning. Just you, your garden, and a hot cup of coffee... until an alien spaceship crashes into your rose bushes. Out steps Borty, a bug-eyed, fly-like creature in a spacesuit, begging you to guide him to the Teeling Whiskey factory. Why? He won't say. But time is ticking.

Join this hilarious self-guided walking tour of Dublin's Old Town as you escort an alien through St Patrick's Cathedral, the Guinness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol, and the winding streets of The Liberties. Borty needs Dublin trivia for an intergalactic pub quiz. The stakes, apparently, are life and death.

One of the most unique things to do in Dublin, this Dublin city walking tour wraps real history, hidden landmarks, and genuine local charm around the most unexpected guide you'll ever meet.
