Tour storico a piedi di 2 ore da Dublino
Descrizione
Questo è più di un semplice "giro turistico" (ma c'è molto da vedere), ma una presentazione approfondita delle caratteristiche principali della storia irlandese: la conquista inglese, le influenze della rivoluzione americana e francese, la grande fame, la lotta per l'indipendenza, il processo di pace dell'Irlanda del Nord, la Brexit, da un laureato in storia.

Itinerario
I tour partono dalla statua di Grattan, College Green, di fronte al cancello principale del Trinity College ed entrano nel campus dove delineiamo la sua storia come la più antica università d'Irlanda (1592) e il suo manufatto più prezioso, il Book of Kells, un manoscritto dell'VIII secolo dei quattro Vangeli, scritto in latino.
Originariamente il parlamento coloniale irlandese, costruito nel 1729, abolito dall'Atto di Unione nel 1800, simbolo dell'ascesa protestante, in particolare nel XVIII secolo e dell'architettura neoclassica del periodo.
Originariamente destinata alla demolizione, questa zona di strade strette è stata riadattata come "quartiere culturale di Dublino" negli anni '90.
Wood Quay è stato il sito di estesi scavi archeologici negli anni '80 della città vichinga, che aveva fondato la città nell'840 d.C.
Sede legale dell'Irlanda, dove nel giugno 1922 iniziò una guerra civile, tra coloro che sostenevano e coloro che si opponevano al Trattato del dicembre 1921, che aveva posto fine alla Guerra d'Indipendenza 1919-21.
La più antica cattedrale di Dublino (1030), ricostruita in pietra negli anni 1170 da Strongbow, che fu al centro dell'originale invasione inglese degli anni 1170.
All'interno si trova una statua di Daniel O'Connell, il primo Lord Mayor cattolico di Dublino (1840). Ha condotto una campagna di successo per l'emancipazione cattolica (1829), la fine di tutte le leggi anticattoliche, quindi è conosciuto come "Il Liberatore".
Originariamente costruito da ('Bad') re Giovanni nel 1204, fu sede dell'amministrazione britannica fino al 1922. Anche la sede del Dubh Linn (Black Pool), da cui Dublino prende il nome.

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.
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!
Tour was not wholly as advertised. Gilbert was knowledgeable but somewhat awkward.. Check facts re: previous window tax
We don't have a guide named Gilbert (or any name close), so I think you've posted in the wrong place.
Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Small crowd. Very interactive.
'Interactive'? That's exactly what we are!
Excellent experience! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had very good communication skills.
