Dublin 2025: A bustling, modern city. Silver trams fight for space with Deliveroo drivers, international students on tours, and locals doing their shopping. The greatest danger is being overcharged for a pint of Guinness.
The Dublin of 1916 - 1923 was a very different beast.
It was a Dublin of battles and shootouts. Raids and last-minute escapes. Spies and informers. Rebels and assassins. A city of heroes, villains, and enough trench coats and fedoras to outfit the cast of a Hollywood noir. It was a city which defied an empire.
If the latter Dublin intrigues you, then this tour is for you!
On this tour, you will trace the path of the Irish revolutionary period through Dublin's streets. From the doomed valour of the 1916 Rising, to the espionage and intrigues of the War of Independence, and to the tragedy of the Civil War.

- Garden of Remembrance
- General Post Office
- Custom House
- Dublin Castle
- The Four Courts
As well as these sites, there will also be several stops at locations where less well-known events of the revolutionary period took place.
