Street, Stones and Stories — MP3 tour
This unique audio guided walking tour combines Dublin architecture, history and geology. Our 2-hour stroll will have you discovering hidden places and stories, stroking Jurassic creatures, and looking at the city in a whole new light! Starting in Viking Dublin with the old city walls, our MP3 tour takes in a rare relic of Elizabethan Dublin, then redbrick Georgian Dublin, to end at St Stephen’s Green with a hidden gallery of Irish marble.
