We always advocate getting off the beaten path, and thematic walks are a great way to do this. In Dublin, we offer several Dublin private tours and Dublin small group tours. For the bookish, we suggest our Literary Walking Tour of Dublin, which traces the work and lives of Joyce, Yeats, Wilde, and other key writers from Dublin, visiting important locations like Oscar Wilde's home and Samuel Beckett's pub of choice with local Dublin private guides. Building buffs will love our Dublin Architecture Tour, which visits Dublin City Hall and Dublin Castle, examining how what began as a Viking settlement evolved to incorporate spacious Georgian-style roads. Finally, develop an application for the grossly underrated Irish cuisine scene (complete with ample samples) on our Dublin Food Tour. Meanwhile, no trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to Trinity College. Learn about the storied history of the Old Library and some of the treasures contained within on our Book of Kells Tour, examining how the light of learning shined brightly in Dublin throughout the Middle Ages, and learning how the unbelievably intricate illuminated manuscripts of the era were made.
