Dublin Historical Highlights Walking Tour

From US$14.00

Overview

Visit Dublin’s top sites on this guided, 2.5-hour, historical walking tour. See famous landmark locations like Dublin Castle, Trinity College, Temple Bar and many more. Stroll along the cobbled alleyways and learn about the city’s medieval past. Also, receive a discount at the Church, a popular café, bar, restaurant, club and tourist attraction rolled into one, and Abbey Theatre, also known as the National Theatre of Ireland. A complimentary map of Dublin is included.

What to Expect

With your knowledgeable guide, start your tour in central Dublin and walk through Dublin's broad streets and narrow passageways to admire the city’s famed historical sights. A map is also provided, which you can keep to use after your tour, if you wish. Pass by the former Houses of Parliament and make your way to Trinity College, the oldest university in Ireland.

Stroll past City Hall before wandering past the garden of Dublin Castle. Then, see Chester Beatty Library, the medieval city wall and a beautiful vantage point that overlooks St Patrick’s Cathedral. Hear how the cathedral was a favorite place of worship of the renowned Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift in the 18th century, and then stroll along Fishamble Street (the site of the first performance of Messiah by George Frederick Handel) and Christ Church Cathedral (first founded by the Vikings).

Continue along the western section of Temple Bar, Dublin’s popular nightlife and culture district, where your tour ends. Before leaving your guide will give you a discount card that can be used at the following Dublin attractions and eateries:

Church Café Bar: 20% savings on bar food
Abbey Theatre: 10% savings on tickets and merchandise
Bewley’s Café: 10% savings on food

We took this tour on our first full day in Dublin. This was an excellent option for when you first arrive in Dublin. It helped us to get our bearings, and work out what we wanted to see more thoroughly throughout our time in Dublin. I highly recommend this tour.

Inexpensive overview of Temple Bar area of city and general introduction to Dublin. Exactly what I wanted for my first day. Enjoyed the tour guide who lived in the area and was well informed. Good experience.

Poured down rain...only day it did, but it wasn't much fun walking in the rain. The sights were awesome however.

Really looked forward to this tour after travelling all the way from Australia. However the guide did not turn up so unfortunately we did not get to do the tour which was extremely disappointing. Phone Paddy's Walking Tours twice but no reply. Sent 2 emails to Viator but also no reply.
