Free Tour of Dublin: History, People and Revolutionaries
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.
