Hello, I'm Evin! I am a guide based in Dublin - a city with an incredible wealth of history and culture that I have long been fascinated with. I love to share the stories of these streets with just about anyone who will listen, which is my motivation to start giving tours. The city has much to tell, from its Viking beginnings, through wars; famines; and independence to the modern day European capital which is so full of character. Let me guide you through Dublin's fair city, where you will see a diverse range of places, voices and cultures that will help you discover this bustling city.

Tour description

Do you want to get to know Dublin like a local? Do you want to find out about the fascinating history along the streets of Dublin? Do you want to learn about the incredible, revolutionary spirit of ordinary Dubs, past and present? Then join my new, independent tour of the city. Dublin is a great, diverse city with an amazing depth of history and culture – and it tells a story of rebellions, struggles, prosperity and modernity. 

This tour looks at Ireland’s revolutionaries, from roguish rebels like Lord Edward Fitzgerald to lesbian snipers of the 1916 Rising – we look at some of the more fascinating citizens of the city that shaped how we live today. This tour isn’t just about history, we also look at the culture and landmarks of Dublin, with plenty of tips and recommendations for enjoying Dublin on a budget. 

This is a unique, local insight into the ordinary and extraordinary people of Dublin. If you have a loose interest in history, culture or architecture and don't mind a bit of walking, you will be able for this tour.
