Vikings, Rebels, Monks and Monarchs Self Guided Tour of Dublin

2 to 4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

During the Easter Rising, a toll collector on the Ha'penny Bridge tried to charge armed rebels half a penny each to cross. None of them paid. That kind of story shapes this self-guided audio walking tour of Dublin, narrated through your phone as you walk at your own pace.

Across 15 stops, see bullet holes on a triumphal arch Dubliners called Traitor's Gate, stand where a park keeper negotiated ceasefires to feed the ducks, step into Trinity's Old Library where Queen Victoria signed the Book of Kells, and end above the hidden river that gave the city its name.

No fixed start time, no group to keep up with. Listen in your preferred language, pause whenever, and revisit stops freely. Ideal if you'd rather explore Dublin's Vikings, poets, and rebels on your own terms, not herded between photo stops.

Over 20,000 travelers have used our Dublin audio tour and others like it. The tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
