Itinerário
As excursões saem da estátua de Grattan, College Green, em frente à porta da Trinity College e entram no campus onde esboçamos sua história como a universidade mais antiga da Irlanda (1592) e seu artefato mais valioso, o Livro de Kells, um manuscrito do século 8 dos quatro Evangelhos, escrito em latim.
Originalmente o parlamento colonial da Irlanda, construído em 1729, abolido pelo Ato de União em 1800, símbolo da "Ascendência Protestante", particularmente no século 18 e da arquitetura neoclássica do período.
Originalmente destinada à demolição, esta área de ruas estreitas foi reaproveitada como "Bairro Cultural de Dublin" na década de 1990.
Wood Quay foi o local de uma extensa escavação arqueológica na década de 1980 da cidade viking, que fundou a cidade em 840 dC.
A sede legal da Irlanda, onde uma Guerra Civil começou em junho de 1922, entre os que apoiavam e os que se opunham ao Tratado de dezembro de 1921, que pôs fim à Guerra da Independência 1919-21.
A catedral mais antiga de Dublin (1030), reconstruída em pedra na década de 1170 por Strongbow, que foi central para a invasão inglesa original da década de 1170.
Dentro há uma estátua de Daniel O'Connell, o primeiro Lord Mayor católico de Dublin (1840). Ele liderou uma campanha bem-sucedida pela Emancipação Católica (1829), o fim de todas as leis anticatólicas, por isso é conhecido como 'O Libertador'.
Originalmente construído pelo ('Bad') Rei John em 1204, foi a sede da administração britânica até 1922. Também a localização do Dubh Linn (Black Pool), do qual Dublin recebe o seu nome.

We had a great experience with this walking tour. It was very informative and covered a lot of sites in a short amount of time. We booked this pretty last minute and are glad we did! Our guide was very informative and shared a lot of knowledge with us.
Wonderful walk around the highlights covering history and many significants. Jody, our guide is delighted!
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…
