Congratulations on finding the profile of one of Ireland’s highest-ranking tour guides! My name is Adam, and for over a decade, I've had the privilege of guiding guests through the beautiful Emerald Isle. Having toured over 80,000 people to Ireland’s most iconic destinations, I can assure you that you're in safe hands when you book a tour with me. I was born in Dublin and raised in the scenic county of Laois, where my passion for Irish history and culture began. This curiosity led me to travel across Europe, and beyond, to places like Turkey, Vietnam, and the United States. It was this love of learning and discovery that ultimately steered me toward a career in tour guiding. While many of my friends pursued more traditional paths, I chose to follow my heart and immerse myself in the study of history. That decision led me to tour guiding, where I discovered my true calling. Over the years, I’ve guided tours at some of Ireland’s most prestigious sites, including Kilmainham Gaol and the National History Museum. Tour guiding is more than a job to me - it's a passion. Spend just a few minutes with me, and you’ll quickly see how much I love sharing the rich history and culture of Ireland with others. I’m eager to offer you an authentic Irish experience, tailored to your interests and needs. Since joining ToursByLocals in 2019, I’ve had the pleasure of helping guests from around the world experience Ireland in a unique and personal way. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or scenic beauty, I’ll ensure you have a memorable time. Here’s a quick snapshot of my credentials: • Master’s Degree in History & Media (UCD) • Bachelor’s Degree in History & Politics (UCD) • Fáilte Ireland Certified National Tour Guide. • Lecturer of National Tourism Award. • “Travellers’ Choice Award” from TripAdvisor (2021-2025) • Over a decade of experience guiding in Ireland. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule, interests, and any special requests you may have. Please don’t hesitate to contact me - I look forward to helping you experience the best of Dublin and beyond. Céad Míle Fáilte (one hundred thousand welcomes), Adam

Overview of your Dublin tour
Every country has a pivotal moment in history it sees as its birth. For the United States, it's 1776 and the start of the Revolutionary War. These moments often symbolize success. However, in Ireland, that defining moment is the Easter Rising of 1916—a rebellion that ended in military defeat, the internment of rebels, and the execution of its leaders. The Rising did not immediately grant Ireland a republic; instead, it led to a partitioned nation, with one part remaining under British rule and the other as a dominion of the British Commonwealth. Despite its failure, the events of 1916 sparked a sense of national identity and pride that would fuel Ireland's eventual independence. The short-lived Irish Republic declared on Easter Monday continues to inspire and captivate. How did five days of conflict shape the course of a nation? Join this tour to discover the lasting impact of the 1916 Easter Rising on Ireland’s journey to independence.
Your Dublin tour itinerary
• Discover how a five-day rebellion reshaped Irish history. • Experience the rebellion through the eyes of a guide with personal connections to key sites. • Start at Dublin Castle, the center of English rule for 700 years, and stand at the spot where the first shots were fired. • Explore Trinity College, a British Army stronghold during the conflict, and hear the remarkable story of your guide’s relatives—one fought for the British, the other was shot outside the GPO after fighting for the rebels. • Learn about key leaders like Pádraig Pearse and socialist James Connolly, and explore the blending of militant republicanism, socialism, and Gaelic cultural nationalism. • Visit the General Post Office (GPO), the headquarters of the Republic, Moore Street, the site of the final stand, and the location of the surrender. • Optional tram ride to the final resting place of the executed leaders.
