Lorcan is the best! Expert on the topic and fits so much information in a small amount of time, our group loved him!

Lorcan is a brilliant guide, with a huge amount of knowledge given with passion and humour, but the seriousness of the 1916 Rebellion is never lost. Do this first to get your bearings of the city.

The tour guide was excellent , the tour relaxed & very invormative. Meeting first in a nice bar it's a good way to meet others as well if your in Dublin alone .

Really enjoyed this walkabout last Saturday. Guide Lorcan was so well informed (having written books on the subject) and delivered the info in a witty and engaging way which was so enjoyable. Definitely recommend this 2 hour foray back in time. All nationalities present got something out of it.

Loran Collins will take you on a most interesting and informative walk around Dublin while talking about the fascinating events leading up to the Easter Rebellion of 1916. A trip to Dublin would not be complete without learning about this important time in the history of Ireland as it moved towards it's independence from England. After going on this excellent... More

Lorcan Collins provided our favorite activity in Dublin. We were looking for a more in-depth and alternative tour to the many canned walking tours. Lorcan has researched and written about this era and was a wealth of history and humor. He invited our questions and interaction, and the more we participated, the more he taught. This tour truly enhanced our... More

I went on the tour not knowing what to expect but ended up loving the experience. The guide and owner of the tour company, Lorcan Collins is informative, interesting and humorous. Lorcan will give you horn book information about the 1916 Uprising as well as tidbits of local insight and lore over the 2 to 2.5 hour tour. If you... More

This has been one of the high points of my current trip to Dublin. Locran makes the tour easy to understand whether you are a "history buff" or know nothing on the subject. His ability to relate the Rising to other events really makes this tour worth while. Even in the cold Dublin weather, I would do it again in... More

I learned a ton of fascinating stuff while being shown around one of the coolest parts of one of the sweetest cities I've ever been too. I knew embarrassingly little about Irish history before this tour and this was the perfect way to change that. Lorcan is the man.

A school class from Denmark went on the Walking Tour and teachers and students fully enjoyed themselves. Our guide Lorgan proved to be extremely competent! The tour was informative and funny at the same time! I can only recommend this Rebellion to other school classes - and to people who are interested in Irish history.
