Dave
Dave is a native of Dublin and has worked as a tour guide in Dublin for the last 2 years, his previous profession was in sales and marketing and he certainly has the gift of the gab. He lived in the U.S for 25 years and on his return to Dublin he found that there was a lot about his City that was previously unknown to him, so he set about getting reacquainted with all things Dublin, it's culture, history and it's people along with all its famous landmarks. Dave's passion is tour guiding and showing off Dublin's fair City to visitors. He is the owner of Dublin Rogues Tour a walking tour set in Merrion Square, Dublin showcasing Irish writers, artists, politicians, rebels and freedom fighters.
Dave has been guiding since Aug 2019

Dave's Dublin knowledge was great, and he tried to overcome gimbal trouble with typical Irish positivity :)

Good info, but his camera controller was out of whack resulting in wobbly pix. Apologies are nice, but pre-testing equipment is a must.
