    This tour is well-paced,...

    Eric_D, Mar 2026
    This tour is well-paced, thoughtfully organized, and expertly guided. Helena was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She provided some additional insights about the Abbey Theatre since we mentioned we planned to see a play there during our visit. Loved this tour and would recommend to others!

    great tour!

    such a cool tour!! highly recommend. the tour takes you to popular tourist sites but gives you stories you wouldn't hear anywhere else.. and great company!

    Wonderful informative afternoon experience

    Robert_M, Aug 2025
    Deidre gave us a highly informative and energetic tour, with insights into both the LGBTQ and women’s rights movements as well as Irish history more generally. It is a well thought-out route, traversing a lot of Dublin City Center venues you would cover on a more generic tour. And it is a small group experience, which is a nice change from mass tours. I’d recommend it to anyone! Great experience.

    Must-do!!

    excellent tour!

    excellent tour! Helena is enthusiastic about sharing queer history in Dublin, and particularly focuses on people and history that might otherwise be forgotten!

    Queer Dublin history

    Laura_W, Sep 2024
    We loved hearing about the LGBTQA history in Dublin. Helena did a wonderful job- very engaging and knowledgeable.

    Highly recommended!

    This was a great two-hour overview of queer history in Dublin/Ireland. Helena was energetic, informative, and a lot of fun. Thanks so much!

    Great history and a must do for all queers

    Ashley_D, Jan 2024
    Helena was a great tour guide. She gave us a ton of history, showed us all the queer sites, and told us where to find the many queer bars in Dublin. This tour just started a couple months ago and I’m so glad it did because this was the tour I was most excited about on our trip

    I absolutely loved this...

    Georgia_M, Dec 2023
    I absolutely loved this tour. It was a great way to see different parts of Dublin, including Dublin Castle, Trinity College and more, while learning about its rich history through a queer lens. Helena was amazing!

    This guided tour shows...

    Thomas_K, Jul 2025
    This tour shows Dublin and Ireland's history through the lens of the LBGTQ movement. It is always sad and frightening how gay/transgendered people were presented, defamed and ridiculed and have to fight for their rights to this day. All are daughters/sons/children of parents they love. I find this leadership important and enriching. Deidree was a well-informed and dedicated guide.
