Dublin Literary Tour with a Local Expert: Custom & Private ★★★★★

Join a like-minded local to discover Dublin’s incredible literary culture, exploring the city on foot and learning about the famous authors who called the city home. Visit famous landmarks like Trinity College which is home to the Book of Kells, The National Library and St Stephen’s Green, which are all important parts of the city’s literary heritage. Learn about the dozens of incredibly influential authors who have lived in the city and their classic works; Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Dylan Moran (to name just a few!) were born or spent time in the city. Enjoy a drink in a local pub where Dublin’s literary set once socialised in, and get a feel for the unique atmosphere that you’ll only find in a Dublin pub, and which inspired these amazing writers!

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.
