Walk through history. Preserve the future.

At Dublin Heritage Tours, sustainability is integral to our mission. As a company dedicated to exploring the stories and streets of Dublin’s past, we are equally committed to protecting the future of our city and our planet.

​

Our Commitment

• Carbon Conscious Exploration

Whenever possible, our tours are conducted entirely on foot. Walking tours are a zero-emissions, low-impact way to experience the city. For day trips beyond Dublin, we travel by public rail, offering a more sustainable, scenic, and community-conscious alternative to carbon-heavy coach travel. This allows guests to explore Ireland’s wider heritage while keeping their environmental footprint light.

• Local-First Philosophy

We proudly support local. Our tours feature independent pubs, artisan producers, craftspeople, and cultural venues that reflect Dublin’s (and Ireland’s) living heritage. Your experience directly benefits the communities and creators who keep these stories alive.

• Digital by Default

We aim to reduce waste and unnecessary printing. Bookings, confirmations, and tour materials are all delivered digitally. 

• Cultural Sustainability

We believe sustainability includes the protection of cultural heritage. Through every tour, we help preserve and share stories, landmarks, and voices that might otherwise be forgotten. This includes lesser-known histories, marginalised narratives, and living traditions across both urban and rural Ireland.

• Our Future Goals

We are actively working toward the following sustainability improvements:

1. Measuring and offsetting our operational carbon footprint

2. Enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in tour design

3. Collaborating with local environmental and heritage organisations

​

Sustainability is not just a policy - it’s a practice.
By joining one of our tours, you are supporting a form of tourism that respects the past, enriches the present, and protects the future.
