The 1916 Rebellion Trail: A Journey Through Dublin’s Fight for Independence


Step back into one of the most defining chapters in Irish history with the 1916 Rebellion Private Guided Full-Day Tour. This immersive eight-hour experience brings to life the streets, buildings, and stories that shaped Ireland’s struggle for independence, offering a powerful and deeply moving exploration of Dublin’s revolutionary past.


The journey begins at the General Post Office on O’Connell Street, the headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising and the symbolic heart of the rebellion. From there, the tour continues to Kilmainham Gaol, where many of the movement’s leaders were imprisoned and executed, providing a solemn and reflective insight into the sacrifices made during this turbulent period in history.


Visitors then walk through St. Stephen’s Green, once a strategic rebel position, before continuing to the Four Courts, another key site during the uprising. The route also includes Moore Street, where the final headquarters of the leaders stood, and Liberty Hall, where the Proclamation of the Irish Republic was printed and distributed, marking a pivotal moment in Ireland’s journey toward independence.


Throughout the day, a knowledgeable guide weaves together historical facts and compelling narratives, sharing stories of courage, resistance, and determination. This carefully curated tour offers a vivid and emotional understanding of the Easter Rising, making it an essential experience for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to connect more deeply with Ireland’s national story.

What a wonderful tour! Not only does Lorcan discuss the key events of the 1916 Rising, but he also talks about a number of other historical events and figures. He provided a lot of insight and perspective into the events of the period as well as some very interesting tidbits that I had not known before. Lorcan was a joy to learn from and talk to. I hope to get back to Dublin, and if so, I will do this tour again. I'd also recommend being prepared for a nice Irish rain just in case. Thanks, Lorcan!

Four of us from Canada toured the Easter Rising sites in Dublin on 19 September 2025 with Ben Shorten. Ben is most knowledgable about not only about the Uprising, but also Dublin and Irish history. His tour was most interesting and informative, and we visited those sites that were especially particular to the rebellion. He provided informed answers to all of our queries about the sites that we visited, and was a most congenial host. We very much enjoyed his tour and his company. Should we visit Dublin again, we’ll seek out Ben as our tour guide.

This was, without a doubt, the most immersive walking tour I have ever been on. Our tour guide was an encyclopedia of knowledge about the 1916 rising. The amount of detail was staggering. You'll start in a pub basement and end at the post office. There's plenty in between! If you're a fan of history, you'll eat this up! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
