What To Expect
The Bank On College Green
Begin your journey at the Henry Grattan statue in College Green, where Dublin’s political heart once beat strongest. Gather beneath the bronze figure of Grattan—the fiery parliamentarian who championed Irish legislative independence in the 18th century—and set the stage for a story of power, culture, rebellion, and imagination. Explore the origins of College Green as a medieval fairground, its transformation into Ireland’s political center, and its role in shaping modern Irish identity. From College Green, step through the gates of Trinity College Dublin, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. Enter the Treasury Building and begin your visit to the world-famous Book of Kells, created around 800 AD by monks of Iona, Scotland and Kells, Ireland
The Book of Kells Experience
Examine the astonishing detail of the illuminated pages—the swirling Celtic designs, the hidden animals, the golden symbolism—and learn how the manuscript survived Viking raids, political turmoil, and centuries of careful preservation. Next, the tour flows into the Long Room Library upstairs, one of the most breath taking literary spaces in the world.

5.00Great tour. We loved the flexibility of being able to go at our own pace. Fast in some areas and slower in areas we were much more interested in. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We had the time and focus to get all of our questions answered. Highly recommend.
We had a nice small group...

5.00Keep in mind it's a walking tour so you are not going inside all the places listed but the Book of Kells. Our guide , Noel Quinn, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, very funny! Great time! He was also attentive to our needs and we were able to do this tour and not be late to our next! Add additional time between tours!!
Excellent Guide for a Newcomer to Ireland!

5.00Since this was my first trip to Ireland, my guide helped me with 150 questions, not only related to the Book of Kells tour. Our visit to to Trinity College was much enriched by the additional facts and history he provided. He was funny, informative, knowledgeable, and terribly interesting!
