One of the highlights of our trip to Dublin was going on the 1916 Rebellion Walking Tour with Lorcan who brings the history of these events to life with all his info. This is a unique walking tour. Go if you can. more

Really enjoyed this tour. The guide - Lorcan - undoubtedly knows his Irish History inside out and he presents it in a way that's really interesting, easy to understand and really entertaining. A really nice guy, a genuine entertainer with an encyclopedic knowledge. I would recommend this tour to anyone. more

Even on a wet and windy day the tour was thoroughly enjoyable. I knew very little about the 1916 Easter Rising before my visit and the information was delivered in a way that could provide something for everyone. Tour of the Kilmainham Gaol compliments the tour perfectly. more

Everyone should go on this tour! Myself & my husband were on this tour last week & it was the most fascinating tour of our lives. History is best told by someone who wholey loves and understand his subject and Lorcan does just that. He brings the subject alive and the way he tells the story ensures that everyone on... more

My family and I went to Ireland for a vacation in August 2009. We were very interested in learning more about Irish history (my children are aged 17 and 20). My wife came across Lorcan's tour on the internet and we booked it. Wow! Lorcan is a pure fountain of knowledge. I had done some reading specific to the 1916... more

We toured with Lorcan in June and had a fantastic experience. He is an authority on the 1916 Uprising and gave us so much information. I found the topic fascinating and bought his book so that I can relive the details. Beyond that, however, I loved walking around Dublin with such an engaging local. Lorcan was smart, sarcastic, fun, friendly...just... more

Thanks to Connor, who led our tour around Dublin. We were already interested in the subject of the talk - the Irish 1916 uprising against Enligsh rule - but the whole walk was enhanced by Connor's information and insights. We had a beautiful day to go out and about, and got to cover a lot of Dublin (north and south... more

I thought this tour was awful. The guide has forgotten more about the 1916 Rebellion and Irish Independence then most people will ever know, but he just does a bad job of imparting the information. The tour does not go to many of the important sites of the Rebellion, and goes to sites that have nothing to do with the... more

Lorcan Collins took our tour and he was an excellent guide. he has a charm that allows him to insult without offending when talking either about characters from the past or nationalities. very informative and largely unscripted tour he is influenced by the members of the group. i agree though that you should read a little about the politics/rising before... more
