Dublin Walking Tours – Discover the Heart of Ireland’s Capital

Historic Dublin Walking Tour

Travel through time as we uncover Dublin’s evolution from a Stone Age settlement to a Viking stronghold, then the second city of the British Empire, to a modern European capital.

Key historical figures we discuss include:
• Saint Patrick – Ireland’s patron saint
• Strongbow – The Norman conqueror
• Wolfe Tone – Father of Irish republicanism
• Oscar Wilde – The legendary writer
• James Joyce – Dublin’s literary icon

I’ll meet you at your hotel reception or a central Dublin location of your choice at a time that suits you.
