On your private walking tour of beautiful Dublin, with its stunning architecture, wonderful traditional pubs and cafes, and antiquated bookshops, you'll see where figures such as Wilde and Joyce, Yeats, and Stoker lived, studied, socialized, and wrote.
You will begin your private tour in Merrion Square, where many houses have plaques detailing the names of the rich and famous who once lived in the area, including the writer and dramatist Oscar Wilde. Wandering on, you'll stop in at St Patrick's Cathedral, where you will hear about the illustrious writer and satirist Jonathan Swift, who had a lifelong connection to the cathedral's Dean and is buried there.
