Our Story

Every member of our network is a licensed, nationally accredited guide in Ireland.

Our Founder, Courtney, is a trained historian and heritage & tourism professional. Originally from the U.S. and of Irish ancestry, she founded Dublin Heritage Tours to offer a more personal, meaningful way to experience the city - through immersive storytelling, cultural depth, and a personal approach that goes far beyond the typical tourist experience.

With over fifteen years of experience in the heritage and museum sector across Ireland and the UK - and a background working with various tourism boards - Courtney brings both expertise and authenticity to every aspect of the company. Tired of seeing visitors shuffled through landmarks on massive coach tours, she created Dublin Heritage Tours to offer something more thoughtful.

At the heart of our business is a clear commitment to responsible tourism. Every route is designed to be low-impact and sustainable. By supporting local communities and making efforts to avoid over-touristed paths, Dublin Heritage Tours invites you to explore Ireland in a way that’s slower, more personal, and far more rewarding.

While Courtney leads many of our tours, she's supported by a network of expert private guides and driver guides, all with full insurance and the country's highest guiding qualification.
