Pickup
We will be in front of the Oscar Wilde monument, located in Merrion Square Park.
Description
Do you know the secrets of the park that inspired Oscar Wilde to write The Selfish Giant ? Did you know that one of Dublin's Nobel Prize winners for Literature was the creator of Irish theatre? What is the mysterious connection between Trinity College and Dracula ?
Join us on a fascinating walking tour of Dublin city centre, where we will reveal these hidden secrets in the books and lives of immortal writers.
You will discover James Joyce through one of the locations from his book Ulysses . One of the secrets of Bram Stoker 's most important work of eternal love will also be revealed to you, and poetry will guide our final destiny with one of the most important poems of the Easter Rising, ending with the fantastic story of a woman who opened the gates of heaven and, for some, those of hell as well.
We guarantee you verified information and recommendations on the must-read books of the season and where to buy them.
We know you're going to love it, and although the tour doesn't have a fixed price, we have a deal for you: at the end, each person gives the amount they consider appropriate (usually between 10 and 40 euros, depending on your satisfaction with the visit).
We say goodbye in verse
We hope you spread the word
We trust that it will be a great success
and may time pass quickly
until this amazing encounter...
