Dublin has a rich, proud LGBTQ+ history - and this private walking tour spends three hours exploring it with a gay or lesbian-friendly guide who knows the city and its stories from the inside.
Two tour options are available, and you choose the one that fits:
Dublin Classic Tour - your guide leads you through Gay Dublin, covering the city’s contemporary queer scene and its deeper roots. Entrance to the Guinness Storehouse is included.
Gay Tour and Oscar Wilde’s Secrets - a three-hour private tour that digs into Oscar Wilde’s Dublin: the places and stories that shaped one of Ireland’s most celebrated and complex figures. Entrance to Trinity College is included.
Both tours meet just outside Temple Bar, right in the heart of the city at 47-48 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 N725.
Dublin has been genuinely welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community for longer than many people realise. Ireland voted for marriage equality by popular referendum in 2015 - the first country in the world to do so - and Dublin’s LGBTQ+ scene has its own distinct character, rooted in the city’s culture of conversation, wit, and warmth.
The Guinness Storehouse, included in the Classic Tour, is worth getting into early in the day when it’s less crowded. The gravity bar at the top has one of the best views over the city, and the tour there pairs well with the walk.
Oscar Wilde grew up at 1 Merrion Square, just a short walk from Trinity College. There’s a colourful statue of him reclining on a rock in the square’s park, and it’s one of the more genuinely affectionate public monuments in the city. Your guide on the Oscar Wilde tour will add the context that the plaque alone can’t give you.
Temple Bar as a meeting point is central and easy to find, but it’s worth knowing that the area gets very busy as the day goes on. Meeting your guide in the morning means you get the neighbourhood at its best before the crowds build up.
