Itinerary
Visting the campus. If you want to visit the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5hr tour '(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours'. Access to the campus is limited to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity's rules).
Although on this tour we will only visit more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple bar – the heart or Dublin's nightlife. Stroll the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will show you the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems of what is a overty touristy area.
We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without needing to explore any interiors, which can only be availed of through an official Dublin Castle tour
Along with St Patrick's Cathedral, Christ Church is a remarkable example of Dublin's medieval religious architecture. We'll be visiting the exterior only.
Snap a picture of your group at Dublin's most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha'Penny Bridge, one of Dublin's icons. Take look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (maybe you'll detect the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers' locks.
One of the key locations of 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin's 18th century architecture

Traveler reviews
Fantastic Sights and Excellent Pints
John was very knowledgeable and really tailored our experience to fit our needs. We let him know that we had another walking tour planned the next morning so he kept some of the walking brief which allowed us ample time to enjoy some pints and learn more about the history of Ireland. It was simply perfect because we had a long travel day with several stops on our way to Dublin from Dromoland Castle.
Sights and Pints with John
John was amazing. Really made our experience exceptional. He asked what was important to us and catered the tour to our needs. He went above and beyond to make it about us. Having Irish heritage, he looked to see what he could teach us about where our family came from. We could not have had a better experience, his knowledge was unparalleled and made the evening an unforgettable night.
Best introduction to Dublin
John was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the history of Dublin was impressive but he didn’t overwhelm us with facts. He made the experience enjoyable and his story telling was genuine and pleasant. He also recommended what to do on our second day in the city. Overall a fantastic introduction to the city and its culture
Nice introduction to Dublin
We were met exactly at the appointed time by a Liam who first of all wanted to know what we wanted to see. Then followed 3 hours of interesting review of the history of Dublin and Ireland. This was told in an engaging way while we visited the servers. There was also room for a couple of pints.
Remarkable tour of Dublin
Kevin Sheehy was an amazing guide. He tailored the tour to our interests and delivered a very memorable tour. We felt we received an authentic view of the history and wonderful culture of Dublin
