Founded in the 13th century, this magnificent cathedral is the largest in Ireland and stands as a testament to the country’s medieval past and its deep religious heritage. As you approach the cathedral, you’ll be struck by its impressive Gothic design, with towering spires and intricate stonework that have stood for centuries.

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Adam is the best Irish Writers Tour Guide!

5.00This was a TREMENDOUSLY FABULOUS tour!!! Adam is a great great tour guide--soooo enthusiastic, knowledgeable, informative & FUN! Although only 1 of my young adult kids is really into Irish Writers, all 3 kids (my husband & me too) absolutely LOVED it! Adam made everything soooo easy--from meeting us to having us dodge the rain for a few minutes in a pub. He added on extra stops depending upon what we were interested in -- really such a smart, entertaining, & personable guy. At every stop Adam shared stories that both transported and entertained us simultaneously--Sweny's Pharmacy is not to be missed! Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this tour--it was our very last afternoon in Dublin & Adam took us to the Portal--what a way to end a fantastic vacation! I cannot recommend Adam's Irish Writers Tour tour enough!
