  • Excellent tour!

    Booked our tickets easily online and our guide, Noel was excellent, providing an informative and wonderful tour of Trinity College, Book of Kells and Dublin Castle. We heard lots of interesting stories and facts. There is an extensive amount of walking over the 3 hours so wear your most comfortable shoes. Note, google maps doesn’t direct you very well to the meeting place at the address listed so leave enough time to find the entrance to the College.

  • A perfect experience

    First, ask for Richard. Hard to imagine a better guide. He was exceptional. His personality, his knowledge, his passion for Ireland made the tour a tremendously enjoyable experience. A perfect mix of history, culture, ‘best of’ recommendations, and, of course, the Book of Kells, which he brought to life!

  • Really informative guide....

    We really enjoyed the experience in Trinity Library to see and hear about the Book of Kells, and the history. Our tour guide, D. Was very knowledgeable and provided enough information for us then to explore on our own. The rest of the tour was fun & enlightening.
