Dun Laoghaire Bank Holiday Walking Tour - Explore History and Make Friends!
Dun Laoghaire Bank Holiday Walking Tour - Explore History and Make Friends!
***Join us on a history-focused walking tour of Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove!*** Hello! My name is Marina Boyle and I'm a local tour guide excited to share my favourite part of Dublin with you. This is history focused guided tour that will take you through beautiful Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule, and Sandycove. It is suitable for both locals and those new to the area, or anyone who wants to learn and make friends at the same time! We'll start at Dun Laoghaire DART station and visit landmarks like the East Pier, Dun Laoghaire Baths, the Forty Foot, and the James Joyce Tower Museum. All the way along I'll be explaining the local history, with time for guests to chat and make connections between stops. Come and see what makes the coast of Dublin so captivating! This event will start at 11 am sharp and last approximately 2 hours. Please note that this is a tip-based tour, and most guests choose to contribute around €5–€10 per person (or more if the tour was unforgettable 😄). The tour will include entry into the James Joyce Museum, including access to the roof for 360 degree views of Dublin. I am looking forward to meeting you!
