This little house/museum was a wonderful look at what is behind the " The Doors of Dublin". It is charming and our guide was very entertaining with amusing stories and insights into the history of the house. More

This is a really interesting and fun way to spend an hour in Dublin. Staffed, from what we could see, entirely by twinkly eyed pensioners, we were treated to an amusing and informative guided tour around a Georgian townhouse. Our guide brought the house to life with entertaining anecdotes and the stories behind some of the phrases we use in... More

Despite barely being mentioned In guidebooks, this is a gem of an attraction and should be a top priority for for both adults and children. It recreates the life of an wealthy family in their multi-story townhouse furnished with period items from the national museum. The modest admission charge covers a guided tour - which is required - as well... More

My friend and I wandered into this little gem after a walk through Merrion Square. Being fans of British period shows, like "Upstairs, Downstairs," we were excited to see a Georgian house filled with actual objects from the same era, on loan from the National Museum. Our tour guide was charming, knowledgable, enthusiastic, and patient. He brought every scene to... More

This is a good tour and the guides know their stuff. We had a problem, a fire alarm went off during the tour and the guide went valiantly ahead. It is a very good picture of life in Georgian Dublin. More

Hoped to learn a little more about life in Dublin and this tour certainly fulfilled that goal. The house is well restored and the tour guide, Marlyn, was a wealth of information. It was one of the best tours we experienced in many trips to Ireland. It was a bit of a walk to get there but well worth it!... More

A lovely way to introduce children, in particular, to Dublin's Georgian past. Tour guides are very knowledgeable and there is a lovely cafe at the end! More
