Dublin Decoded

About

Dublin Decoded offers a full‑spectrum experience of Dublin’s fascinating past and vibrant present. From carefully crafted public walking tours that meander through the city’s municipal heart – stopping at historic sites such as Temple Bar, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle and the Georgian‑styled City Hall – to exclusive private tours that allow you to tailor a day to your interests, the company delivers a blend of insightful narrative and engaging storytelling. The online Winter Art Talks series—held each Tuesday at 2 PM—celebrate the evolution of European art, covering masterpieces from the Bayeux tapestry to Monet’s water lilies, with early‑bird discounts and optional gift‑card bundles. Each tour is approximately 1.5–2.5 hours long, with varying start times depending on season; private tours can be booked for a custom date, while public tours run a few times each month and are open to all. Guests are encouraged to book online via the site’s green "Book Now" button, which also provides price estimates based on group size. The price for the Winter Art Talks starts at €50 for a four‑talk package, while the full course can be secured for €96 (early bird) or €110 (standard). The company’s guiding principle is to "decode" Dublin’s streetscape, inviting participants to explore the city’s architectural heritage, medieval walls, Georgian splendour, Jewish heritage in Portobello and much more, all delivered with the warmth and erudition of historian‑guide Arran Henderson.
