Above and Beyond

Fantastic, beyond my expectations in every way. Our guide, Tom, was happy to answer questions not just on 1916, but on other eras of Irish history and on Dublin in general. I learned a ton and had a great time in the process. What more can you ask?

Very enjoyable tour

Did the tour yesterday with friends, Tom was the guide and he was excellent. His knowledge and passion for the 1916 rebellion was outstanding. Thought I knew everything about 1916 but there was so much more to learn.👏

One of the best tours in Dublin

Did this tour before, in July 2024 with Lorcan Collins. Decided to do it again because it is seriously one of the best tours you can do in Dublin. Today's guide was Tom, who also did a great job in explaining the importance of the 1916 Easter rising in a vivid and impressive way. Worth every cent you pay.
