Description

Join our Local History Expert on this private tour of Dublin to discover the turbulent history of modern Ireland. Learn about the political conflict between the Irish rebels and British rule and follow the footsteps of the Irish Republican Army as they prepare for the Easter Rising of 1916. Explore the events that shaped the fate of the Republic of Ireland and skip the lines to the GPO Museum. The 3-hour option includes a 2-hour guided tour of Dublin and skip-the-line tickets for a 1-hour audio guided tour of the General Post Office Museum dedicated to the history of the IRA. Before you visit the GPO Museum, your Private Guide will help you understand this complex subject, sharing an insider’s perspective into life in Ireland under British rule. Together, you will recreate the events of the War of Independence, Easter Uprising, the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and more. On this walking tour of Dublin, one of the 2 capitals on the island of Ireland, you will see the iconic Molly Malone Statue, Trinity College and the Famine Memorial - a touching reminder of the nation’s hardships. The guide will also show you the Custom House, which was occupied and buried by the IRA in 1921. You will pass a memorial to James Connolly, an Irish republican who was imprisoned and executed in the infamous Kilmainham Gaol prison, and monuments to other rebellion leaders such as Daniel 'the Liberator' O'Connel, William Smith O'Brien and Jim Larkin,. The guided tour will end in front of the historic building of the General Post Office, the former IRA headquarters. We provide skip-the-line tickets to the GPO Museum so you can step inside and explore its exhibitions at your own pace with the museum’s audio guide. Choose the 4-hour option to book private transportation for this tour. This option includes pickup and drop-off service with 1-hour round-trip transfer from your accommodation, a 1-hour self-guided tour of the GPO Museum (tickets and audio guide included), and a 2-hour walking tour led by a Private Guide.
