ABOUT YOUR TOUR GUIDE

David Halpin is a singer and songwriter, an informal expert on the works of James Joyce and a lover of Irish music and culture. As a native Dubliner he knows the city inside out and has been guiding visitors around its streets, museums and pubs for over five years. He likes to combine music, literature, history and contemporary knowledge of the city into a memorable adventure that showcases Dublin in all its glory.

His passions are the prisms through which he delivers this experience. Whether it is through the world famous Ulysses (an epic novel set entirely on one day in Dublin) or the superstar rock band U2 (born, bred and based in the city) David incorporates song and spoken word, bringing history and culture alive, resulting in a truly special and unforgettable experience.

Tour Reviews

“

It was less of a tour and more like a walk with a dear and like-minded friend. David is an excellent guide and he is adaptive. I can only highly recommend this tour to anyone with any interest in James Joyce.

We spent an afternoon with David, learning about the literary milieu of Dublin, walking in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom, reading passages from Ulysses, and talking about James Joyce. David is both knowledgeable and passionate and it was a delight to explore Joyce's Dublin with him.

This was a great tour and David was great for both fans of Ulysses and for those who have yet to read the novel. We were able to see numerous sites and explore key locations for the novel. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss this tour!!!
