Full description
Step into Dublin’s past on this private tour with a Local History Expert from Rosotravel. Follow the journey of the Irish rebels, uncover the struggle for independence, and see key sites of the 1916 Easter Rising. Walk in the footsteps of the Irish Republican Army and learn how their actions shaped modern Ireland. Enjoy skip-the-line tickets to the GPO Museum and hear untold stories of rebellion.

Book the 3-hour option to experience Dublin’s revolutionary history with a 2-hour guided walking tour and a 1-hour self-guided visit to the General Post Office Museum. Before stepping inside, your Private Guide will help you make sense of this complex subject, sharing local insights into life under British rule, the War of Independence, and the Anglo-Irish Treaty. At the museum, explore its immersive exhibitions at your own pace with an audio guide.

As you stroll through Dublin, see landmarks that tell the story of Ireland’s struggle, from the iconic Molly Malone Statue and Trinity College to the Famine Memorial. Pass the Custom House, burned by the IRA in 1921, and a memorial to James Connolly, a key figure in the rebellion. Your guide will also point out statues of leaders like Daniel O’Connell, William Smith O’Brien, and Jim Larkin. The tour ends at the General Post Office, the former IRA headquarters, where your skip-the-line ticket grants you quick access to explore the museum’s powerful exhibits.

Choose the 4-hour option to add private transportation, including pickup and drop-off from your accommodation. This option includes a 1-hour round-trip transfer, a 2-hour walking tour with a Private Guide, and a 1-hour self-guided visit to the GPO Museum with tickets and an audio guide.
