A Walk Through History: Unforgettable 1916 Rebellion Tour with Eamon - My family had the extraordinary experience of joining Eamon on a three-hour walking tour in Dublin focused on the 1916 Rebellion. With his exceptional storytelling skills, he vividly brought to life one of the most pivotal periods in Irish history. Even members of our group who are Dublin natives were very impressed. I can't recommend this tour highly enough, it was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip to Dublin. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about Dublin's past, Eamon’s tour is a must do.

Ruairi was awesome! - Ruairi was an excellent guide. Went above and beyond our expectations. He not only spoke about the rebellion subject matter but also pointed out many sites, little gems in the back streets, and information in the city we would never have noticed. He's a great communicator and tailors the tour to your personal needs. I believe he truly wants his guests to have a memorable experience.

"WithLocals" 1916 Easter Rising Tour - tour guide: Keelan - We did a three hour historical walking tour of Dublin that focused on the background and events of the 1916 Easter Rising. Our tour guide Keelan was exceptional. He was knowledgeable and informative on the events of 1916, as well as the larger history of Ireland and the factors that led to the Easter Rebellion. The stories he told to illustrate the events of 1916 were both scholarly and passionate. Often times, he shared personal stories of how these events impacted his family and friends. Keelan covered many topics beyond the scope of 1916, which added to our overall awareness and understanding of the complex subject of Irish history. We were so glad that we took the tour and had Keelan as our guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone who's planning a visit to Dublin, and I would specifically tell them to book Keelan as the guide.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend - Fantastic experience. Keelan's extensive knowledge of Dublin and Irish history really made the city come to life. Most of our group had read a fair amount about 1916 already but we still managed to learn so much more. He kept all of us engaged throughout the entire tour. Highly recommend!

Informative and interesting - Derek was great. This was an interesting and informative tour of central Dublin. I know something of Irish history and still learned a lot. My family knows nothing of Irish history and found it interesting and fun. In addition to learning about the 1916 revolt, this tour will really help you understand what you are looking at as you move throughout central Dublin. I highly recommend it.

Highly Recommend This Walking Tour - Brendan was a fantastic tour guide for our Easter Uprising 1916 walking tour of Dublin. Our family of 5 learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Brendan. After our tour we visited Kilmanhaim Gaol which was a great way to deepen the history lesson. This is a great way to see the city and Brendan is an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining host!

Exceptional - Brendan is truly a scholar and a gentleman. He is an expert and still humble. Our tour was obviously planned and well presented yet also tailored to our questions and interests. We learned about the revolution in context of previous and prior events. We highly recommend this tour with this guide
