Some Reviews:
“Our tour guide Derek was a gent from the Liberties and had been homeless himself. As we walked around the liberties, he shared historical facts and captivating stories about the area - that kind of stuff only the locals would know... along with his own personal experience of being homeless and his journey to becoming a guide. A real eye-opener on a crisis that needs to be highlighted.”
“Thank you so much to Derek today for showing me a really interesting part of Dublin I have never been to before. It was a unique experience to be shown an area in a completely different light. I would highly recommend this to anyone.”
“Secret street tours is not just for tourists! I’ve lived here for 10 years and the tour was an education for me. It is a social and historical insight into the city from both a modern and historical perspective. Our tour guide Derek was extremely knowledgeable and very articulate. He added a truly personal touch to the tour by sharing his experiences growing up in central Dublin as well as his period living homeless in Dublin. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough, it was a brilliant experience with an excellent guide!”
