Homeless Walking Tour of the Liberties
About this experience
Secret Street Tours is a nonprofit social enterprise that trains those affected by homelessness to become walking tour guides of their neighbourhoods, empowering them with skills and a platform to tell their story. With this experience, we'll take you on a journey through time of one of Dublin’s most vibrant and colourful neighbourhoods, the Liberties (where your guide, Derek, has lived all his life). We’ll begin our tour in the Dubh Linn Garden (Located just behind Dublin Castle). As you explore the rich history of the area, local folklore and hidden gems, Derek will share with you stories of growing up in the Liberties, his experiences of homelessness, the passions that helped him through his lowest points and his hopes for the future. We’ll wrap up our tour approximately 90 minutes later near St Patricks’s Tower, a great place for you to continue your day and explore more of Dublin’s many attractions.
