Our excursions provide students with a unique opportunity to practise their English in authentic settings. Our guides are experienced and knowledgeable and know Dublin's most interesting places.

We also make available to students information on many more visits, excursions and sporting fixtures which they may enjoy on their own or with other students.

Students may have to pay admission charges on some excursions. When out - of - Dublin tours are organised, students pay a fee to cover the cost of coach hire and any entrance charges required.
This guide services is completely free of charge.
