From pirates to kings to Irish rebellion legends, this area is teeming with intriguing stories and tales and allows guests to experience the area as more than just the neighbourhood in which they can find Croke Park.

While the stories you hear are nothing short of surprising and thought-provoking, what makes these tours extra special is the sheer passion that exudes from guide Sean, who grew up around the area and has a clear love for the neighbourhood he calls home.
