    What To Expect

    College Green (Pass By)

    We begin our journey of Dublin at its beating heart, College Green. Even today, this is still a bustling hub for the Irish capital and we will be able to weave in-between everyone and everything on our unique bike! We will be able to take in beautiful architecture from the 1700s, like the old Irish Parliament building - today a branch of the Bank of Ireland. You can really see why so many important events take place right here, from U.S Presidential speeches to the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade!

You can really get a sense of the depth of history and prestige that seeps off every brick on this mighty school. From our perspective, we will be able to take in the breadth of this institution in the middle of Dublin.

    Monument to Oscar Wilde

    One of our most famous wits and writers, among a great many, has to be Oscar Wilde. He grew up right here at Merrion Square in Dublin and his home has been lovingly maintained. Across the road, in the corner of the park is his statue. Made with different colors of marble, this statue makes a fitting memorial to Oscar’s unique and colorful character.

    Merrion Square

    Most visitors to Dublin never see Merrion Square and as we explore its Georgian exterior, you will see why that is such a shame! Today this public park is a highly popular spot with locals and there are all sorts of events that take place here throughout the year. We will skirt around its edge and you will be able to see some of the gorgeous Georgian homes and famous doors that overlook this beautiful green space. Which still actually is green!

    Pepper Canister Church (Pass By)

    Before we head to the Grand Canal, we will see one of the most beloved churches in Dublin, the Pepper Canister Church. Named for the shape of spice containers around the time of its construction. Today, this church is often used for musical performances and sits at the center of a beautiful intersection, surrounded by Georgian buildings. From our bike, we will be able to get an unparalleled view of this building!

    Grand Canal (Pass By)

    The Grand Canal is definitely one of the best things about Dublin. At pretty much any time of the day, you will be able to find people milling about along its length. While there aren’t nearly as many barges as there used to be, some people do still use it. When we get here, we will visit the statue of the famous Irish poet, Patrick Kavanagh. His poem “Grand Canal Walk” was inspired by the beautiful nature and scenery along its bank.

    Fitzwilliam Square

    Fitzwilliam Street is one of the longest Georgian Streets in the world. We are going to take our bike from modern, 21st-century offices back in time 300 years when we arrive here. Once we get to Fitzwilliam Square, we will be able to get right up close to the very best of Georgian Dublin and see the smallest of all the squares in the city.

    St Stephens Green (Pass By)

    Stephen’s Green is one of the most beloved parks in all of Dublin. This is the biggest and grandest of all the Georgian squares and was even home to the likes of Arthur Guinness and Grace Kelly - But not at the same time of course! We are going to explore some of the streets around the Green and learn about some of its medieval origins.

    Grafton Street (Pass By)

    This is the main shopping street in Dublin and as it's pedestrianized, there are few other tours that will be able to manage to explore it - but we will! This street has been mentioned in songs, stories and poems for generations. We will get to explore part of this famous thoroughfare and some of the nearby streets.

    Ship Street Great

    Dublin is well over 1,000 years old and was originally founded by the Vikings. Once we leave the Georgian districts, we will delve further back in time. As we progress through cobblestone streets, our tour will go through the oldest sections of the medieval town. We will learn about why the Vikings chose to build a city here and even where the name of “Dublin” comes from. Stop and take a picture of the lessor known 'Forty Steps' and the most impressive remaining section of Dublin’s historic defensive walls.

    Saint Patrick's Cathedral (Pass By)

    While claims that this 5th century saint drove the snakes out of Ireland are pretty dubious, he is regarded as the man who brought Christianity to Ireland and ushered in the golden age of the island. This is where the “Land of Saints and Scholars” name comes from. We will visit the site of Patrick’s first Christian conversions in Ireland and learn about the Cathedral named after him on this important site.

    Christ Church Cathedral

    The final stop on our tour brings us to a religious site, even older than St. Patrick’s Cathedral - Christchurch. There has been a church here for around 1,000 years! We are going to be able to take in this history - as well as the amazing views of this building on our tour.
