Steven_S, May 2026
Some of the other reviews made this sound like the quintessential must-do Irish history tour for anyone visiting Dublin. Although the tour is great for what it is, people should be aware that this is a deep dive into a specific 6-day event in Ireland's history. It is appropriate for people who already have a good knowledge of Irish history and are looking for a more detailed analysis of the 1916 Easter Rising specifically. People who do not know much about Irish history and are looking for more of a broad introductory tour should look elsewhere. I would also note that the description says the tour also covers the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War but we did not get into those events in any significant detail during our tour.
Cassandra_L, May 2026
Highly recommend this tour! Very important part of Irish history that nobody should miss learning about. Phaelin (sorry if I’m misspelling!!) was a wonderful and informative guide with clear passion for the stories he tells and the historical figures he brings to life. It seemed like it was a little bigger group than maybe they usually had but Phaelin not only made sure we were all safely getting to where we needed to be on a busy Sunday in Dublin but also that we could all hear and have a more personalized experience despite the group size. Don’t miss it!
Jenny_D, May 2026
This is an outstanding tour. Fact filled 2+ hours, including songs (Liam, our tour guide, has a great voice!). Really enjoyed learning more about Ireland’s recent history.

The tour is excellent. Elena the guide was knowledgeable and engaging as she really brought the history, social context and impacts to life with details stories and a rich cast of the participants. The history of Irish Self determination and the shaping of contemporary Dublin were well covered via her telling of this pivotal event in history.

The tour was excellent. The preamble in the pub is the perfect primer before starting the tour. Well done by Lorcan.

The guide was very passionate about the subject. She described everything really well and was very clear and informative. She made the tour relaxed and you finished the day with a good knowledge of the history of the rebellion. I would highly recommend this tour and although the young ladies name slips my mind she made the tour a very enjoyable experience.
