I've been to Dublin many times before but hadn't managed to take this tour until now. I wish I had done it on my first trip over. During this experience I heard and observed details about the uprisings and politics that I had not from any other source. The guide, Lorcan, was easy to follow and understand, as well as... More

If you have any interest in Irish history this walking tour is a must. Lorcan delivers a fascinating, well-researched, lively and thoroughly-engaging account of events surrounding the 1916 rising. As well as being highly knowledgeable he is also an adept raconteur. He entices you into his world with charm, wit, erudition and a wicked Irish sense of humour and turn... More

Lorcan's passion for "the cause" motivated us to spend a year reading about the fight for Irish independence and then return to Dublin to take his tour again. The only thing greater than Lorcan's knowledge of the subject is the pleasure one gets listening to him tell the stories of the brave men and women who fought the battles. A... More

Having studied the 1916 Rising in school and living in Dublin, I didn't think there would be much for me to learn on this tour. But Lorcan makes the Rising human, telling stories of the people who took part and the impact the rising had a on the city. He's very entertaining and really keeps people interested. I'd recommend his... More

This tour is one that anyone visiting Dublin should definitely go on. Lorcan is a perfect tour guide, very knowledgeable, personable and funny. He spoke about the events of 1916 as if he had been there himself, he most definitely brought the time period to life. And he made everyone in the group feel included and comfortable. I have read...

Coming from a Northern and non Rpublican background, I was a little concerned about this tour, but I found the tour guide, John, to be very balanced, educational and funny in his approach. More

I took this tour with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it - that it didn't feel like a two hour tour is a testament to the lively and entertaining guide. I am a student of Irish history and am reasonably well versed in the people, places and events of the Rising whereas my friend knew almost nothing. We both got... More

My Fiancé and I were recently in Dublin for a city break weekend and decided to take in a walking tour. Lorcan Collins is a great informative guide and a good laugh. The tour was half history and half telling us about Dublin city, it's humour and the people themselves. The tour begins in the basement of the international bar... More

Just spent the afternoon with Lorcan Collins, author and tour guide of the 1916 rebellion walking tour. I havnt laughed as much in ages. Coming from the north of Ireland I am interested in the history of our nations heroes, but I came away with a wealth of information about people in the rebellion I hadnt heard of before. The... More
