Masonic Walking Tours
Freemasonry allowed men of different statuses to meet as equals despite their religion or political beliefs. Since the release of the Da Vinci Code much has been written about the ancient order of Freemasonry but still, little of any substance has emerged.
Dublin holds a substantial place in the history of Masonry; home to the oldest working Grand Lodge and the 2nd oldest masonic jurisdiction in the world. On this tour, we will uncover how this underresearched piece of history influenced other parts of the country’s story and its implications for the development of the modern world. Also included are the many famous Irish masons and their role in Irish history.

Dublin Tours
You may be wondering what is so hidden about the capital of Ireland but in truth, there is so much of this city that goes unexplored on regular tours.

You won’t just tour Dublin, you will see it for the magical place it really is.
In addition to Ireland’s hidden cultural spots, there is much of modern Irish culture that also needs mention. Ireland is one of the few countries that has successfully merged its traditional way of life with a high-tech futuristic economy. We are valued members of the EU and advocates of modern democracy.
