Explore Dublin through the words, lives, and legacy of its greatest literary figures on this refined and immersive literary walking tour. This experience combines a 90-minute guided literary walk, traditional Afternoon Tea in Merrion Square, and timed entry to the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI).
Led by an expert local guide, guests journey chronologically through Dublin’s literary history — from Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde to Yeats, Joyce, Beckett, and modern Irish writers. Designed as a premium cultural experience, this tour blends storytelling, historic locations, and Irish hospitality, concluding at MoLI for independent exploration.
This premium literary experience begins in historic Dublin, where guests are introduced to the city’s earliest literary voices and the social world that shaped them. Starting with Jonathan Swift and 18th-century satire near St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the tour traces Dublin’s literary evolution through Georgian society and the rise of Irish cultural identity.
The route continues through Trinity College and College Green, examining education, class, and nationalism, before moving through other charming Dublin streets— connected to publishers, bookshops, and writers including James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and the Literary Revival that placed Ireland at the centre of world literature.
The experience concludes with timed entry to the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), where guests explore Ireland’s written heritage independently, including rare manuscripts and the first edition of Ulysses. Following the guided walk, guests enjoy a 1-hour traditional Afternoon Tea in and around Merrion Square, a neighbourhood steeped in literary and political history.
