Walking Tours · Small Groups

Tour Schedule

Below is the full weekly schedule for our regular walking tours. Group sizes are deliberately small — twelve places maximum on most walks, six on the library and archive tours — and every tour is led by a working historian, archaeologist or specialist writer. Private tours, school groups and bespoke itineraries can be arranged on request.

For pricing, group bookings, or to ask about availability, please write to info@irishchronicals.com. We respond within one working day.
