“I want to express my appreciation for the excellent walking tour we had with the incredible Grace Ryan on Friday, June 15. I was overwhelmed with Grace’s in-depth knowledge of the history of Dublin and with the way she made the past come alive as she recounted a few of the significant and often tragic events in Dublin’s past. Grace kept our small group entertained and enthralled for over 2.5 hours. The tour was the highlight of my visit to Dublin. I am very happy that I participated in the walk.”

Take a Closer Look

This walk takes you to many of Dublin’s historic icons and brings you to some wonderful hidden spots too. If you are looking for a comprehensive tour that introduces you to the best of the city centre, on both sides of the River Liffey, then this is the tour for you. Starting from Dame Street you will wind your way through the former Viking & Medieval Quarter before wheeling around through Temple Bar and across to the River Liffey to the Northside City and onto the city’s main street, O’Connell Street. This street still echoes to the seminal historic events which shaped the future direction of the country. Once more crossing the River Liffey, the tour will conclude in the bustling College Green surrounded by several institutions of great importance.

All these places certainly have their interesting histories, but the human stories often associated with them capture more than just mere dates and events. Our dedicated guides, personally trained by local historian and author Pat Liddy, will share their love for the city with you and hopefully make you feel like a true Dubliner.

Places We See & Pass By

Dublin Castle grounds & Dubh Linn Gardens
Christ Church Cathedral
Temple Bar, River Liffey & Ha’Penny Bridge
St Mary’s Church (now a famous café/bar)
General Post Office & O’Connell Street
