The Best of Dublin -- The Complete Heritage Walking Tour -- From 01 April 2012
Description: This enchanting walk, taking in all the highlights along the historic ‘Golden Kilometre’, travels through broad streets and narrow passageways, often following the line of their ancient predecessors.

Along the way you will encounter mementoes of vast archaeological discoveries revealing Dublin’s rich Viking and Medieval past. There will be an opportunity at the end to end the walk to include a special combination discounted entry to Guinness Storehouse or the Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery. Tour tickets include discounts in The Church Café/Bar and Bewley’s, Dublin’s oldest café.
