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).
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
Visting the outside only. Christ Church Cathedral or/and St Patrick's Cathedral Although a wooden church was built here in ca. 1030, and there was likely a pagan shrine before that, Christchurch as a stone structure began in the 1180s and has been restored and changed numerous times since. The neo-gothic architecture makes Christchurch, arguably, Dublin's most beautiful complex. The vast crypt underneath the cathedral deserves particular attention for its size, interesting curious and the fact that it hosted a pub, distillery and... brothel (!) in the 18th century.
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.
Leinster House
St. Stephen's Green
See Ireland's main thoroughfare and one of the widest streets in Europe. Admire The Spire, the GPO (where the 1916 Rising began), and learn about Ireland's Marthin Luther King Jnr, Daniel O'Connell
One of the key locations of 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin's 18th century architecture. We can enter the building as long as there is not a private event occuring.

John C. Is so knowledgeable of the history of Dublin and provides valuable insights into the people of this beautiful city. He balanced history and culture in our tour. We also enjoyed seeing the home of Irish Coffee! Thanks John for showing us your city.
Great Walking Tour in Dublin
This is a very interesting and informative historical walk through Dublin. Emmet Lyons, our guide, was fantastic - professional, pleasant and very knowledgeable about all things Dublin. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our tour.
Absolutely Fantastic
This tour was exactly as stated "Fantastic "! Our tour guide was 12 % the reason why. Kevin our tour guide was so well educated on every aspect of our sites as well as foodie questions!! He was so thoughtful and generous of his time. I traveled with my two teenage sons and husband and he was the perfect match for keeping them interested the entire three hours of our tour. It felt has if KEVIN was part of are family. We were able to contact him with questions and advice during our entire stay in Dublin. We were so grateful for the presence of his company. Worth every penny and more!! Thank you Kevin
Fun Dublin Walk
Conor Hegarty led us on a wonderful walk around the city center of Dublin. He was very knowledgeable of historic events and had many interesting stories to tell at every stop. We loved hearing about different periods of Irish history and learning about famous artists from this country. He included a fun summary of our day which included many pictures he took at each stop. Highly recommend.
Perfect walking tour of Dublin
