An outstanding tour, highly recommended!

Lorcan was absolutely fascinating from start to finish. He caught the students' attention right from the beginning and held it throughout, thanks to his impressive knowledge, his storytelling, and, of course, his humour. Rather than simply reciting facts, he brought the history to life with vivid anecdotes and well-timed jokes that kept everyone engaged, even those who usually find guided tours a bit of a stretch. We received a comprehensive overview of the key historical events, but what made the tour special were the many tiny details he wove in along the way: the little-known facts and curious side stories that you would never find in a guidebook and that made the places truly memorable. He was also incredibly approachable and fun to be with. He welcomed questions, answered them with patience and enthusiasm, and created a relaxed atmosphere in which the students felt comfortable joining in. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We will gladly book again!

1916 Rebellion - excellent walking tour!

Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable and was an engaging tour guide and storyteller. In addition to telling about the background and events of the rebellion, he described the personalities involved and the huge stakes against this group of Irish patriots. It rained on and off during the tour, and Tom tried to ensure we could be under covered areas so as not to get too wet. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the 1916 Easter Rising and its place in Irish history.

Our guide, Tom, was knowledgeable, interesting, and passionate. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and left with a much deeper understanding of the Irish people and their indomitable spirit.
