Overview of your Dublin tour:

Are you crazy about Columns, do you flip over Fan Windows, have you a passion for paint? Yes? Then this is the tour for you! I love my City of Dublin! I love how our architecture screams classic style and sophistication. A building must meet it's functional requirements but why not do that with flair and style? That's what Georgian Dublin is all about! Let me show you the domestic architecture of 18th century Dublin and the neo classical palaces of our civic buildings! We will stroll through the wide streets and squares of Dublin and immerse ourselves in the lives of the well heeled Dubliners living in a vibrant, up and coming, entrepreneurial City. Ireland is known as a land of saints and scholars but did you know we are pretty talented in the visual arts also? Let me bring you through the doors of our palatial National Art Gallery and tell you the stories behind the works of some of our most iconic painters! Artists & trail blazers of technique and execution who inspired future generations.

Your Dublin tour itinerary

We start at Dublin Castle then take a stroll to Merrion Square, one of Dublin's finest surviving Georgian Squares. Three sides are lined with redbrick townhouses and are beautiful examples of Domestic Georgian architecture. I will point out some of the key features typical of this style. We can walk in the footsteps of Dublin's aristocracy by enjoying the gardens and green space in the middle of the square, designed to bring a little bit of nature into the city. The west side of Merrion Square is the grounds of Leinster House (Ireland's Government buildings), the Natural History museum or what Dubliners call the "Dead Zoo" and our National Art Gallery. We will spend some time in the Gallery's Irish artist wing where I will introduce you to some of my favourite painters.
