I'm a tour guide based in Dublin. I've done tours for over ten years - now mainly walking. I do historical, hidden sights, off the beaten track: Dublin, surrounding areas, e.g. Tara, Boyne Valley, Wicklow, the east coast, the west of Ireland, Belfast. I've top reviews on the web; particularly on: http://tourguides.viator.com/tour-guide-rob-mcelroy-5566.aspx I can also do tours of Scotland & the south of France - particularly historical, combined with ancient & sacred sites.

''Musings for tourists''
'The People's Garden's': These are lovely gardens full of very nice shrubbery, trees and flower beds. It’s unusual in that they part of a huge green belt of nature’s wonder, the Phoenix Park - largest enclosed park in Europe. The Gardens are a very pleasing outlet to take a leisurely walk or stroll in. But the name of them, say’s it all - gardens for the people - and that is their calling card! They also have the notable distinction, of being the place where Ireland’s fine balladeer and poet, Thomas Davis, sat under an Elm tree for inspiration; and where he helped co found the famous Nationalist newspaper 'The Nation’. If you go to the Phoenix Park, make sure and pay the gardens, a visit.
