Great history and a must do for all queers - Helena was a great tour guide. She gave us a ton of history, showed us all the queer sites, and told us where to find the many queer bars in Dublin. This tour just started a couple months ago and I’m so glad it did because this was the tour I was most excited about on our trip

Interesting & Fun 🌈🍀 - The guide was knowledgeable and happy to share any info - not just about LGBT+ topics but also about Ireland as a whole, which was super helpful as someone not from Ireland. The walking distance felt manageable while still getting to see lots of interesting spots that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Diverse communities within the LGBT+ acronym were mentioned and celebrated, without shying away from the darker bits of Ireland's history with LGBT+ rights. I had a great time and learned a lot while doing so. Thank you to Helena (the guide) for making me feel welcome in the city ☺️🌈

Interesting history in lovely Dublin locations - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our engaging guide Helena provided a very concise history of the movement in Dublin. Insights into historical characters not normally found in school texts is a wonderful bonus. Helena brought us to many beautiful locations explaining the historical significance of each. This had me looking at places with new eyes. Highly recommended.
