Dublin Loyal Walking Tours

For over a 1000 Years Dublin City has been the gateway into the Island of Ireland. From Viking settlement, to Norman strong hold under King Henry II. Once described as the second City of the British Empire. Many aspects of the City's cultural and architectural fabric are made up of the historical influences the citizens of the City have made.

From the French Huguenots fleeing persecution in France in the 17th century, to the Jewish community fleeing Russia in the 1880s. A City which is best described by the poet Louis Macneice.
