An event so devastating and harrowing that even today 170 years later it still unleashes a wellspring of emotion from the descendants of its victims.

The tour includes both a walking tour of the city with a trained historian and tickets to the EPIC Ireland Museum and the Jeanie Johnston Famine Museum.
