5.00The tour was really cool; the guide explained the whole history of the Kugar really well. It’s a lovely place, and I’d definitely recommend it if you like music and want to see how it’s made.

5.00I’ve visited the Studio with my school and it was incredible!!! I don’t think I could find a better place to visit here in Ireland. Specially because I am really interested in dubs

5.00Whether you’re a die-hard music fan or just a casual listener, this tour is an absolute must! You'll experience real music recording history and walk the same steps that U2, Foo Fighters, Miley, Gaga, Dolores, and Kate once took. How can you miss that?! Highly recommended!

5.00What a wonderful opportunity to tour this legendary studio! I have admired the work of Windmill Lane for 40 years. I was thrilled to learn that they offered tours while on a recent trip to Dublin. You can feel the history as you make your way through the hallways loaded with gold and platinum records and CDs on display. Aidan was our gracious host and tour guide. His enthusiastic knowledge of the history of the studio and great stories about sessions made it memorable for sure! I was allowed to do a quick mix (using a virtual band) on one of the smaller consoles, but for me, just gazing upon their beautiful Neve console in the large studio was worth the price of admission. A splendid time and I hope to return some day. Thanks Aidan!

5.00This tour was so entertaining, informative and inspiring. The entire staff was so welcoming and Aidan held a masterclass in Audio Recording and Engineering. He was an 11 out of 10!!! We have been on tours to Abbey Road, Electric Ladyland and Sun Studios…this was by FAR the best of the best. The pedigree of artists that have recorded here is a “who’s-who” of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers. Go…you won’t be disappointed!!!
