Experience the best of Dublin on a walking tour that blends the city’s most famous landmarks with its best-kept secrets. This small-group tour, limited to a maximum of 16 participants, is the ideal introduction to the centuries of history, culture, and character that define Ireland’s capital.
Starting from Dame Street, the walk leads you through the Viking and Medieval Quarter, where Dublin’s story began more than a thousand years ago. You’ll wander through cobbled streets filled with ancient charm before continuing to the lively Temple Bar, the city’s cultural heart, buzzing with music, art, and atmosphere. From here, the tour crosses the River Liffey to the Northside, where the past meets the pulse of modern Dublin.
On O’Connell Street, the city’s grand thoroughfare, you’ll hear about the pivotal moments that shaped Ireland’s destiny, including the 1916 Easter Rising. Finally, crossing back over the Liffey, the tour ends in College Green, surrounded by historic landmarks such as Trinity College and the Bank of Ireland, symbols of the city’s enduring legacy.
Along the way, you’ll see and learn about iconic sites including the Dublin Castle grounds and Dubh Linn Gardens, Christ Church Cathedral, the Ha’Penny Bridge, and St. Mary’s Church, now a beloved café-bar. Each stop reveals fascinating stories and hidden layers of Dublin’s rich heritage.
More than a lesson in history, this tour brings the city’s human side to life. Led by passionate guides personally trained by historian and author Pat Liddy, you’ll experience Dublin through local eyes — and by the end, you may just feel like one yourself.
