Your Licensed Guide will provide context and hidden details that bring Ireland’s scholarly and artistic heritage to life.

Continue through the city with stops at Dublin Castle, tracing its evolution from a medieval fortress to the seat of British rule (please note that the courtyards and gardens are temporarily closed).
