Why take this tour?

You’ll spend a few hours with one of our Dublin hosts, walking the streets that were once home to the likes of Samuel Beckett, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde. Visit the National Library or Trinity College to brush up on your literature knowledge and see the Book of Kells. Or maybe you see yourself more settling in for a pint in the pub where Oscar Wilde enjoyed a tipple or two. The streets are abuzz with stories about the literary history of Dublin, so you’ll definitely hear a tale or two along the way. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place.
