Georgian Dublin and Merrion Square Walking Tour

I am originally from Tipperary in the south of Ireland- you may be familiar with the pre-war song "It's a long way to Tipperary". I can sing it for you as well if you come on tour with me. What is the story behind the long way to Tipperary? The original pre-war song was inspired by the homesickness experienced by Irish expatriates, who came to work in England in great numbers from the Victorian period onwards. In it, the narrator Paddy's girlfriend Molly threatens to marry another suitor called 'Mike Malone' instead, if he does not come home soon. My family of origin is steeped in hurling which is native to Ireland and one of the fastest field games in the world and Irish sport and I can tell you all about that as well on my tours. I provide walking tour guiding service to people visiting Dublin and Ireland, be they tourists from overseas or Irish people themselves who want to learn more about the history of Dublin and Ireland. I am available for private walking tours and as a guide or whatever mode of transport you decide to use. I love tour guiding and very proud to be able to tell people about the story of Ireland and Dublin. I am very passionate about meeting people and telling them the story of Ireland, through anecdotes/poetry and song. I love singing Irish ballad songs whilst on my tour which also tells you the history of our country in another emotional way. I can tailor my tours to whatever you want and by tailoring my tours, it gives you the traveller to visit wherever you want. It is your holiday and your time away and you should spend that time in the best way possible for yourselves. I live here in Dublin with my wife Mary in a very historical area called Kilmainham. You may have heard of Kilmainham Gaol because of its history and association with the Irish 1916 rising. Our War memorial gardens are very close by and well worth a visit, which I can plan for you also, if you like. I can arrange for you to have the best time here in Ireland and I look forward to hearing from you. Go raibh maith agat which is thank you in our Gaelic language and also "Cead mile failte romhat" which is a thousand welcomes to you on your visit to our capital city and our country of the Emerald Isle.
