5.00I had such a great time on the LGBT historical walkthrough with Deidre! She was super attentive and shared amazing details at every stop that really brought the history to life. She was also really thoughtful—when some people on the tour wanted coffee, she happily worked a stop in for them. On top of that, she gave us tons of recommendations for things to do around Dublin, which was so helpful. Deidre is patient, kind, and clearly knows her stuff. If I have friends visiting Dublin, I’ll definitely be recommending her as their guide!
Great introduction to central Dublin

5.00Great way to see the city! Deirdre was very knowledgeable and just a lovely person in general and her admiration and compassion for the queer people and activists she told us about was tangible, that made the experience extra special!

5.00Dreidre knows a lot about history and culture - I really enjoyed the hour with her. I learned a lot. And we saw many interesting places, I will visit again.
Wonderful informative afternoon experience

5.00Deidre gave us a highly informative and energetic tour, with insights into both the LGBTQ and women’s rights movements as well as Irish history more generally. It is a well thought-out route, traversing a lot of Dublin City Center venues you would cover on a more generic tour. And it is a small group experience, which is a nice change from mass tours. I’d recommend it to anyone! Great experience.
