Hidden Homes of Dublin Tour

The journey begins on Henrietta Street, Dublin’s first Georgian street, where 18th-century mansions once displayed the city’s imperial wealth. After the 1801 closure of parliament, grandeur gave way to decline, as single-family homes became overcrowded tenements. Visitors discover the stories of those who suffered, and those who stepped in—whether to help or to profit.

Visitors will explore Dublin’s layered history, from the struggles and opportunism that shaped the city’s social fabric to the bustling communal life of convents and abbeys. At Green Street Courthouse, discover the gripping stories of swift, brutal trials, while the Dublin Fruit and Vegetable Market reveals the lives of tenement women earning their living.

Crossing the River Liffey, the tour delves into the walled city, medieval streets, and Viking Dublin, uncovering hidden inscriptions and forgotten tales. It may conclude at a historic spying pub where Michael Collins orchestrated intelligence during the War of Independence.

This walking tour is a vivid journey through grandeur, grit, and intrigue — a chance to see Dublin’s past layer by fascinating layer.
