Overview
Come with me on a tour of Dublin’s most famous sights, where I will tell you all about the history hidden within the walls of Dublin’s majestic buildings. And who better to guide you around this wonderful city than a Dublin native?
From the Vikings who first founded Dublin, to the might of the British Empire, which ruled over the City for centuries, to the War of Independence, Dublin has a fascinating and turbulent history. While it can be overwhelming to decide what to see and do on your trip to Dublin, especially if time is short, I will guide you to all of Dublin’s most famous sights. I have a huge passion for the history of my City, and I guarantee you will leave my tour with a new appreciation and understanding of Dublin, its history, and its people.
On the tour, I will point out many hidden gems so you can experience Dublin like a true local. I know all of the best spots, including authentic local pubs frequented only by residents, amazing restaurants serving delicious cuisine, both local and international, and even some tranquil spots where you can chill for a few minutes to take a break from the frenetic nature of the City, and I am happy to share these with you.
