About this tour

The tour will give you an overview of the history of the Irish struggle for independence – over the centuries, its people committed themselves to a myriad of sacrifices in the name of shared ideals. The dozens of lost uprisings ended up with the Easter Rising of 1916, which led to the War of Independence. Starting the tour at the General Post Office which became the headquarters of the insurgents, we will tell you what motivated them to take action, we will visit the Garden of Remembrance, a memorial to those who died for the state’s freedom. We will tell you what Sinn Féin is, and how it was formed. We will explain what impact did the Great Famine have on society, and finally tell you why theatre and actors were so influential in the drive for independence.

Join us on a walk in the Irish rebels’ footsteps, to get a better understanding of what their ideas and beliefs were, but also to understand the modern city of Dublin. Join us and see the city through the eyes of Ireland’s freedom fighters!
