QUOTES ON OUR SPECIAL GUIDED TOUR

“It’s quite possibly the best €22 you can spend in Dublin. As well as being a Wilde scholar, Martin is a serious raconteur and the stories come thick and fast, with both darkness and hilarity. We were all utterly transfixed for well over an hour as Martin brought Wilde and his family’s stories to vivid life, in the very rooms the events took place.” (IRISH TIMES, GLOSS magazine, Oct 2023).

‘If you thought Oscar was wild, wait till you hear about the rest of the family, in this astounding, accurate and almost tangible evocation of the uproarious Wildes at home.’ … PHILIP HOARE (Author of Wilde’s Last Stand).

“This is a gem of a place and Martin who runs the tour is such a great enthusiast and storyteller …. GARY KEMP (Spandau Ballet)

‘What an amazing journey! Thank you.’ … AMBER HEARD (actor)

“Such an incredible story … PHOBE DYNEVOR (actor)

Our guided tours are accompanied by the Oscar Wilde House director MARTIN BURNS. The tour lasts approximately one hour and 30 minutes. As you explore its rooms and staircases, you will hear the fascinating history of the colourful Wilde family. There are tales of heartbreak, tragedy, intrigue, court battles and scandal.
