In depth explanation of events in history leading to 1916 Easter rising. Guide was knowledgeable, engaging and connected with the group. Delivered clearly, with genuine passion for subject and even included couple of songs delivered with passion. Pre walk briefing in pub was great and set the historical context.

Liam was such a warm and knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot and it was a great way to see where the events unfolded. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Matt_H, Mar 2026
Very good and informative tour. Lasted around 2 hours, starting from the meetup point and ending at the GPO. Not a strenuous walk at all. Phelim was a wonderful and well-informed guide and even treated us to some songs. Great all around and would highly recommend

If you are a fan of Revolutionary Irish history, you NEED to do this tour. Our guide, Lorcan Collins, was exceptionally knowledgeable and well spoken. Throughout the tour he took time to take questions and offer insightful feedback. It was very much a conversation as well as a tour. We visited a number of places that held importance during the 1916 Easter Rising and throughout the tour you could truly tell that Lorcan was not only knowledgeable but also fiercely passionate about the history.
This is what you want in a tour guide and I say again; book this tour! You will enjoy it.

Unbelievable tour. But you clowns need to quit telling people it's 2 hours when it took 3. Almost 30 people in the group was too many. Guide was a 5 the rest based above was a 3
Shawn_M, Oct 2025
I've done this walking tour 3 times & every time I have learned new information on history of the Rebellion. The tour guides are really informative on the History of the Rebellion
Arjuna_M, Oct 2025
Excellent tour full of easy going learning moments! I learned more about the History of Ireland in this 2 hour tour than the rest of my week long trip combined which included other History tours.

It was a great and informative tour. Especially if you are interested in Ireland’s history. Walked and saw rebellion landmarks and heard stories. Thank you!
David_O, Sep 2025
A wonderful and lively tour, with a lot of information, storytelling and even the singing of a few old rebel songs. Altogether this gives a great feel for the events of 1916, beyond just the factual details.

We've been on many walking tours and Lorcan was the best guide we've ever had. He's brilliant - hilarious, very informative, personable and has a deep and personal connection to the culture and history he's teaching. Don't miss this unique, extraordinary experience!
Jessica_M, Aug 2025
This was a really interesting and informative walking tour . I learned a lot about history and being able to see the bullet holes still in the statues and pillars was a chilling experience. I left with more knowledge and more curiosity than I came in with.
Kevin_a, Aug 2025
Very informative
Well worth it our guide gave us little stories to fill out the tour he took the time to answer all questions
Robert_M, Aug 2025
Excellent value for money! Liz was a brilliant tour guide: welcoming, informed, friendly, passionate - exactly what you’d want from a tour. The walk is well-planned to take in many of the sights of the city and shows a detailed insight into the history of Dublin in a way that is fun, engaging and educational for everyone from novices to history buffs.

Phelan was an amazing guide who spoke with clarity and confidence and was highly informative. He was also very entertaining and his good natured sense of humour engaged all. Highly recommend this tour!
Susan_D, Aug 2025
From the introductory presentation at the International Pub to the final moments at the GPO the tour was phenomenal. Our guide Fallon (sp?) was knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about our tour. A special aspect of the tour was the singing that at times illustrated sights and information.
Lilia_T, Aug 2025
The walking tour was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and was great at handling the topic with both seriousness, but also humour at appropriate times. He also included some creative ideas such as songs, which I really enjoyed!
Time flew by and you didn't even notice the time passing until it was suddenly over. Our guide connected different places and monuments with the past events, so you could get a really nice picture of what happened back then.
The pacing was really good and no one got lost because our guide always kept an eye out for everybody. Thanks for all the effort! I can recommend this tour to everyone who's interested in Ireland's history.
Reed_M, Aug 2025

Leonard_S, Jul 2025
Interesting, insightful, important. Excellent history filled with stories, all woven together by a narrative of the past that remains relevant today.
Maureen_K, Jul 2025
Our guide was not only knowledgeable, but a performer with a strong, passionate voice and he sang a few songs. He looked out for the group, and was especially considerate for one person who used a walker.
Rachel_B, Jul 2025
Donal was very knowledgeable, passionate, interesting and human in telling the story of the 1916 Easter Rising. It was a story we knew but a privilege to be on the streets where history unfolded so significantly and tragically.
Adeline_F, Jul 2025
Elaina was very passionate, devoted and committed to explaining Irish social history and good at doing this for non irish audience with emphasis on the role of women - much appreciated.
Todd_W, Jul 2025
Fascinating coverage of the 1916 Rebellion to understand Irish political history and mindset. Presented in an accessible and fun way. Phelam was terrific!
neil_r, Jul 2025
Excellent
So informâtive and so well explained it was great and worth the investment in time. Stopped at every major site from 1904 to 1922 and everything was so interesting. Highlights on the major players brought a personal boost and was touching
Joel_F, Jul 2025

Michael_D, Jul 2025
Great history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Go early for a pint at the bar.
Leigh_Y, Jul 2025
This was an amazing tour! Adam was absolutely brilliant! He gave a good clear overview of the history which made me want to read more about it. Adam gave me several great suggestions, but when is he writing his own?
