Eight centuries of Dublin, told on foot.

An Introduction to Historic Dublin

Dublin began as a Viking longphort on the banks of the Liffey, became the seat of an English administration that ruled Ireland for seven hundred years, and emerged in the twentieth century as the capital of an independent nation. Few cities of comparable size carry as much weight per square mile.

Our guided tours follow that long thread through the surviving fabric of the city: the medieval crypt beneath Christ Church, the Long Room at Trinity, the chapel where the Easter Rising leaders awaited execution. We work with historians, conservators and writers to make the stories truthful, vivid, and properly local.
