Best of Irish History & National Museum of Ireland Tour

From the potato-crop eliminating Great Famine to the rebels involved in the six-day insurrection known as the Easter Rising, Ireland has been through its share of turbulent times. Immerse yourself in Irish history on this tour to the fascinating National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology, where your guide – in that lilting Irish accent – will explain how numerous events shaped the Ireland we know today. Inside the museum you'll see iconic pieces like the Tara Brooch and the Ardagh Chalice, an eighth-century masterpiece of metalwork discovered by a couple of guys digging for potatoes in 1868. Everything that symbolises Ireland's people, history, culture and artistic brilliance is here. At the Viking exhibit, dive into the Viking world as it was from the ninth to 12th centuries – horned helmets, bodies preserved in bogs, and more. You'll also visit famous spots like Merrion Square and St. Stephen's Green. It's a journey... digest it all with a Guinness afterwards. Cheers!
