Join me as we explore the making of modern Ireland through key sites in Dublin city centre. I have been doing tours of Dublin since 2015, and hold a Masters and PhD in Public History from Trinity College, Dublin. This tour connects history and the present day, starting with the most infamous event in Ireland's history - the Great Famine - and explores the key events that shape our modern nation.
Tours can be booked for weekends or midweek and can be scheduled at any time to suit your group.
St. Stephen's Green - main gate (Fusilier's Arch)
The Famine Memorial - Custom House Quay

I am very flexible with tours and will do my best to ensure that I can accommodate your requests. For best availability, book in advance.
During term time weekday availability in limited.
- This tour involves a lot of walking, so please wear comfortable shoes.
- Irish weather is notoriously changeable, please wear a raincoat or bring an umbrella in case of rain (even in summer!).

Caitlin was a great guide. Responsive to inquiries before our tour, really personable, and beyond knowledgable. I highly recommend her.
