Before the tour, the participant completes an online questionnaire to share interests and preferences. This information is used to match the participant with a local host who will tailor the itinerary accordingly. The host will meet the participant on foot at their central accommodation if applicable. The tour focuses on walking through Dublin’s historic center, covering sites such as the Viking foundations of the city and examples of Georgian architecture. The route includes a visit to Ireland’s oldest university and its main shopping street, where the local student atmosphere and street performances can be observed. The tour also explores quieter alleys lined with colorful pubs and small shops that are often overlooked by visitors. Participants will spend time in the gardens surrounding Dublin’s cathedral, where the host shares stories about saints, writers, and important figures in Irish history. The tour concludes along the Grand Canal or in the Docklands area, with the host offering suggestions for nearby pubs or cafés to rest. Food, drinks, and entrance fees are not included. While primarily a walking tour, local public transport or taxis may be used at an additional cost if necessary. Direct communication with the host before the tour allows for input on the itinerary and local recommendations.
