We first strolled around the church. I was amazed at the huge Organ that Handel supposedly first played his "MESSIAH" on. It was awe inspiring. Eventually, our guide, Peter took us down to the crypts. Peter was wonderful. He delighted in telling us, in great detail, how the Irish Rebels "The Sheares Brothers" were tortured and killed. They're buried here.... more

I totally loved Peter's tour! I really enjoyed hearing the details of the mummies and the history of Ireland. He was well informed and made the tour! Thanks Peter! more

I had wanted to see the crypts of St. Michan's after learning about them in college. I managed to escape my tour group at the rather dull distillery and make my way over to the church.

I visited St Michan's church many years ago during my childhood and would love to visit it again. We were on a class school trip and I managed to shake hands with one of the skeletons. I think it might have been the suspected thief. Of course it was creepy but I found the experience fascinating and well worth the... more

I used to live in Dublin and often took visitors to St. Michan's. It is one of the hidden treasurer's of Irish history. There you can see the organ on which Handel first performed his famous "Messiah", the font in which the Duke of Wellingtom was christened and of course the famous vaults which are said to have sparked the... more

We go here every year, the tour guide is very insightful and keeps the tour humorous. It is worth a visit, fascinating looking in the vaults and learning about the history of Ireland. more
