What a wonderful introduction to Dublin! Our guide, Brian, could not have been more charming. His lively intellect and engaged conversation helped us learn about the complex histories of the country. We could not have been more pleased to have this opportunity to learn firsthand about life as a Dubliner.
Like others noted, we were treated to drinks in a lovely hotel, the Merrion. Our host was so gracious and generous with his time. It was a highlight of our visit and I wish other municipalities would follow the lead to welcome tourists in such a fine manner.

This was a great experience and wonderful welcome to Dublin. Our ambassador (I wish I could remember his name!) showed up right on time and provided great knowledge as we walked to The Merrion Hotel for tea. The setting was wonderful and we had delicious tea and cheese. It's great they provided us with €30 of certificates and we just paid a little extra of our own money. He gave us great insights about the Irish culture and fun things to see and do while in Dublin. He thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people. He did mention that there is a shortage of volunteers so some meetings get cancelled last minute if no one signs up. So I'd keep that in mind if you do book. Overall it was a wonderful experience and a chance to meet a local.

I can see how this would be ambassador dependent. We totally lucked out and got to meet with Brian who was charming, knowledgeable, intelligent and interesting. What a gracious man! He furthered our strong impression of the warmth and openess of the Irish people. He seemed to have a very wide range of knowledge from history, politics, music, literature to sport and a great appreciation for the world and traveling. I will highly recommend this experience.

After booking months ahead of time, getting a confirmation 1 week ago, and planning our first day around this meeting, we get there and no ambassador/volunteer showed up! Not a very friendly welcome to the city. If they can’t find reliable volunteers, stop the program!! It leaves a very negative impression for what should have been a delightful memory.

This was a very disappointing experience. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone. When you don’t have much time and plan your days though you can not reliant that this tour takes place. In fact the annulation was send 1 hour before the appointment.

I read about the City of a Thousand Welcomes in Rick Steeves book, and we decided to try it. Although several emails were exchanged in the week preceding our visit to confirm our meet up, the perseverance was well worth it. Our city ambassador was great, and reviewed all of our Ireland trip plans with us, not just our plans for Dublin. He made some great suggestions for little tweaks, and we have thoroughly enjoyed our trip. I highly recommend this great civic service.

Im gediegenen Merrion Hotel einen Afternoon Tea aus silbernen Kannen vor dem prasselnden Kaminfeuer einzunehmen ist bereits ein Erlebnis für sich. Aber in der angenehmen Gesellschaft unseres reizenden Ambassadors könnten wir in kurzer Zeit sehr viel über Irland lernen. Obendrein wurden wir mit wertvollen Tips für unsere Rundreise versorgt.
Danke Brian, Du hast uns gezeigt was “a thousand welcomes” wirklich bedeutet!

On our first late afternoon were fortunate to meet Brian, our ambassador to the city of a thousand welcomes. He suggested we go to the Merrion hotel for tea(or, for three of us, wine and beer). We followed him as he talked all along the way, into the beautiful lobby and then we settled in the outdoor patio where we talked for at least an hour and a half.
Brian is a very personable, well read, knowledgeable and open gentleman. We felt fortunate to have had he opportunity to meet him and truly felt the time we spent with him enhanced the remainder of our visit.

We walked over to The Merrion Hotel to have tea or a drink (most people get Guinness!) which is at the popular Merrion Square famous for the statue of Oscar Wilde, who resided there. Our host was very knowledgeable about Irish history and I sensed he was frustrated at some of the misconceptions foreigners have. Although I found the experience worthwhile, it was a bit more serious than I had anticipated.

I booked a City of a Thousand Welcomes appointment two months in advance, was asked to reconfirm I would be attending two weeks prior to the appointment, then was sent a reminder the day before where I was told it was essential I contacted them ASAP if I wouldn't be able to attend for any reason. On the day I thought that if I did a Trinity College tour first and it ran over that I may arrive late so I skipped that to ensure I was on time for my appointment. I arrived at the Little Museum of Dublin only to be told the meeting would not go ahead as there was no ambassador available, it was also stressed that the Little Museum of Dublin are just the meeting point for the City of a Thousand Welcomes appointments and they don't run them. I was offered a complimentary ticket to the Little Museum of Dublin, which I'll submit a separate review for.

No Dubliner is available from City of a Thousand Welcomes. Sept 9, 10, nor 11. Might that change?

Hi Kevin and Margarita
The way to do this is to get on the City of a Thousand Welcomes website and see if there is availability for the dates you want. It's short notice but you might be lucky. Enjoy your trip. Angela Douglas

Hi - We are traveling in a group of 4 and would like to participate in the 'Meet a Dubliner'. I cannot figure out how to book a group of four and I am not able to book two groups of two at the same time frame.
Any advice from those who participated in this program as a family? Or group larger than 2?
Thanks in advance!

I believe they have an email address . It may be because they offer the participants a pint or a tea with the meeting and may not be able to accommodate 4 people. Just ask that to be waived in the email. You can buy your own. If you purchase a day pass with the tour bus in town .. The green bus .. I believe you get free admission to the little museum of Dublin .. This is where you can book to meet a Dubliner as they sponsor it . I highly recommend this little museum .. Especially the exhibit dedicated to U2. I hope it works out for you because it was a lovely afternoon. Also there is a wonderful park across the street that local artists sell/display there works all around the fence into the park.. Weekends only though .. Best wishes on your trip to the Emerald Isle .
