Walking Tours of Dublin in French, Irish and Spanish for School Groups​

Bookings are now open for our Walking Tours of Dublin in French, Irish and Spanish for Secondary School students, perfect for transition year and leaving cert groups (15 - 18 years).​ 

Tours are also available in English (with some translations into French / Spanish) for French / Spainish schools visiting Dublin. 

​​

Our tours are a fun way for students to immerse themselves in the French, Irish, Spanish or English language while exploring Dublin's must-see sights like Dublin Castle, Dubh Linn gardens and Christchurch Cathedral and plenty of anecdotes and less well-known stories:

  • Did you know that the Irish flag was a present given by a group of french women to Irish revolutionaries in 1848?

  • Why are so many words (e.g work) similar in Spanish (obra) and Irish (obair) but so different in english?

  • How your guide offended his french mother-in-law by telling her that her omelette was perfect?

  • When American's say the phrase "You dig?", why are they almost speaking Irish?

​​​​

All of that plus spot prizes and the Dublin à Pied quiz where one or two lucky pupils will win the official Dublin à Pied t-shirt!

​​​

The tours lasts approx 90 minutes and include a short toilet break in the middle. *

Tours are available Tuesday to Friday with the start time of your choice between 9am and 3pm.

Minimum 20 students and maximum of 40 students per tour. 

The price is €15 per student.

You will receive a worksheet with key vocab to prepare / revise with the students before or after your tour.

​

Great tour as Gaeilge! Would thoroughly recommend it to TY student groups and others. A real opporutnity to hear Irish outside the classroom in a very interesting setting! Great variety of really interesting history of Dublin and fun facts including the fact that 4 langauges spoken in Dublin at one point in its history! Alan brings the tour alive with his obvious love for history and a nice plug for the importance of loving and speaking Irish. Iontach maith, GRMA
