Recorrido histórico a pie de 2 horas desde Dublín

Itinerario
Los tours salen de la estatua de Grattan, College Green, frente a la puerta principal del Trinity College y entran en el campus donde describimos su historia como la universidad más antigua de Irlanda (1592) y su artefacto más valioso, el Libro de Kells, un manuscrito del siglo VIII de los cuatro Evangelios, escrito en latín.
Originalmente, el parlamento colonial de Irlanda, construido en 1729, abolido por el Acta de Unión en 1800, símbolo de la "Ascendencia protestante", particularmente en el siglo XVIII y de la arquitectura neoclásica de la época.
Originalmente destinada a la demolición, esta zona de calles estrechas se reutilizó como el "barrio cultural de Dublín" en la década de 1990.
Wood Quay fue el sitio de una extensa excavación arqueológica en la década de 1980 de la ciudad vikinga, que había fundado la ciudad en el año 840 d.C.
Sede legal de Irlanda, donde comenzó una Guerra Civil en junio de 1922, entre quienes apoyaron y quienes se opusieron al Tratado de diciembre de 1921, que puso fin a la Guerra de Independencia de 1919-21.
La catedral más antigua de Dublín (1030), reconstruida en piedra en la década de 1170 por Strongbow, quien fue central en la invasión inglesa original de la década de 1170.
En el interior hay una estatua de Daniel O'Connell, el primer alcalde católico de Dublín (1840). Lideró una exitosa campaña por la Emancipación Católica (1829), el fin de todas las leyes anticatólicas, de ahí que se le conozca como 'El Libertador'.
Construido originalmente por ('Bad') el rey Juan en 1204, fue la sede de la administración británica hasta 1922. También la ubicación de Dubh Linn (Black Pool), de donde Dublín recibe su nombre.

Best city tour guide we’ve had. We’ve taken historical walking tours all over the world. Jody had great facts, great projection and answered questions knowledgeably. Highly recommended.
Very knowledge guide, good craic, enjoyed chatting with his guests.
Our guide Jodie is a history grad ....and it showed! His enthusiasm and interesting stories brought the tour to life. Honestly, the tour is only as good as the guide...and ours was excellent.
Very engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable- a great introduction to the city and history! Caodan, the legendary consumer of potatoes, was fantastic. Highly recommend!
My teenage son and I did the 11 am tour on Sunday 21st June with Caolan. It was a whirlwind, informative and humorous two hours covering the old parliament / Bank or Ireland, famine memorial, O’Connell Bridge and the provincial flags, the GPO, Northside back streets, Ha’penny Bridge, Temple Bar and Dublin Castle. It was so jam packed that poor Henry Grattan, under whose statue we met, didn’t even get a mention and the civil war was mentioned only in passing. But this is not a criticism, rather a whetting of the appetite for a follow-up tour should they ever consider running one. We would definitely go to this if they ever put it on, but in the meantime, we’re very happy to highly recommend the current walking tour in general and Caolan’s expert but waggish delivery in particular.
'Expert but waggish'—I like it! Yes, it's hard to cover everything in just 2 hours & each of our guides, while covering the basics, brings their own interpretation of events. In addition we also offer private customised tours, for example Revolutionary Dublin, focusing on 1912-23.
I’d give 10 stars if I could. So illuminating! Owen’s energy and love of history was inspiring. Ireland is lucky to have him speaking on her behalf. Made me fall deeper in love with Ireland!
We don't mind 10-star reviews! Delighted that you enjoyed Eoin's tour.
Fantastic tour from Colm who regaled us with stories and songs. He fits a lot in in 2 hours and gives a great historical overview of Dublin with recommendations at the end. Loved it.
It was one of those misty, drizzly mornings in Dublin and Eoin greeted us with a smile told us we had time to go get some coffee at Butler’s, which was a great recommendation on a rainy day. And then for the next two hours, we traveled through Irish history as we walked the streets of Dublin. He answered all the questions and there was a really inquisitive lady from Newfoundland, who asked a lot of questions and made a lot of comments. He was nothing but warm and friendly, and it was clear that he loved his native country and wanted us to appreciate all the changes it has been through since it began. He also talked about Modern Ireland, and the changes that have occurred since it became a republic and the change in status of women and religion. He recognized all of that in a sensitive way. We highly recommend this tour and this guide! A wonderful way to get a view of the city and its history as we only had two days here…
Jody was a very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide who gave an amazing summary of some history around the city. While you dont go into any sites, just being able to be led around and gain some info about the city that we never learned before was a really great way to start our trip to Ireland. We just went back to the sites we wanted to see more of afterwards with our new gained fun facts!
Excellent tour and better guide!! Went with five 20 year olds who said the time flew, it was that good!
