DO I NEED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT IRISH WRITERS?
Not a thing! We explain it
all to you, by quoting entertaining pieces from the works of the
most notable of Dublin's scribes. They do the talking on this tour.
We also give you the background to the writers we feature - so no
jumping in at the deep end. We also tell you about the great pubs
of the city and how the pub culture got started, and how important
it was for the trade of writing. |
IS
THERE FOOD ALONG THE WAY?
Food is available at the second pub - but
you wont have time to eat a full meal during the tour. We
only spend 20 minutes in each pub. |
WHAT
PUBS DO YOU GO TO?
There are eight pubs on the tour but we visit
four each night. We always include a stop in Trinity College to
talk about Oscar Wilde and other writers. |
