I visited Kilmainham Gaol with Historic Pathways during my first trip to Dublin, and this experience fundamentally changed how I understand Irish history. Our guide, Michael, possessed extraordinary knowledge combined with genuine passion for the subject matter. He didn't simply recite historical facts—he helped us emotionally connect with the real people who suffered within these walls.
