Description
Join a local history expert on a private Dublin walking tour exploring the political conflict between Irish rebels and British rule. Follow the Irish Republican Army’s footsteps as they prepared for the 1916 Easter Rising and learn about key events shaping the Republic of Ireland.
The 3-hour tour includes a 2-hour guided walking tour of Dublin and skip-the-line tickets for a 1-hour self-guided audio tour at the General Post Office (GPO) Museum, which focuses on the IRA’s history. Your private guide will provide context before your museum visit, covering the War of Independence, Easter Rising, and the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
During the walking tour, see landmarks such as the Molly Malone Statue, Trinity College, the Famine Memorial, the Custom House (occupied by the IRA in 1921), and memorials to Irish republican leaders including James Connolly, Daniel O'Connell, William Smith O'Brien, and Jim Larkin. The tour concludes outside the historic GPO, the former IRA headquarters, where you can enter the museum using your skip-the-line tickets and explore exhibitions independently with the official audio guide.
The 4-hour option adds private car transfers with pickup and drop-off at your accommodation, including a 1-hour round-trip transfer, a 2-hour walking tour, and a 1-hour self-guided GPO Museum visit. Booking private transfers saves time and effort.
