Dublin: Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour

About This Tour

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by over 3,000 guests, this two-hour walking tour strikes the perfect balance between the big-ticket landmarks and the hidden corners of Dublin that most visitors never find. Your guide is a fully accredited local professional who clearly loves this city - and that enthusiasm is infectious.

The walk covers over 1,000 years of Dublin history, starting with the city’s Viking origins and moving through the medieval streets, Georgian boulevards and Victorian-era neighbourhoods that give Dublin its layered character. Along the way, you will pass some of the most recognisable landmarks in Ireland - Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, Trinity College, the Ha’penny Bridge, and the GPO on O’Connell Street. But the real magic is in the stories your guide tells at each stop: the writers, rebels, rock stars and rogues who shaped this city into what it is today.

What lifts this tour above the ordinary is the hidden gems. Your guide takes you through quiet lanes and overlooked corners that even many Dubliners do not know about - from medieval church ruins to tiny alleyways with stories as colourful as the main streets. Along the way, you will pick up insider tips on the best spots for food, live music, craft beer and souvenirs. By the end of the two hours, you will know Dublin better than most people who have been here for a week.
