This was great, but I'm into Ghost Hunting, The vaults are great and amazing, the story behind the vaults is better, excellent tour guide, No PHOTOGRAPHY DOWN IN THE VAULTS since this is still sacred ground and remember this is religious site and the last resting place for them. When I went it was only me and my wife with... more

I'm almost hesitant to write a review since this place seems to be a hidden gem in Dublin and it's getting more and more popular with the word-of-mouth and reviews on TA. We turned up around 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon. We paid €10.00 for 1 adult and 2 children to go in the crypt. The church itself is nice... more

It is my favorite memory from a 4 day trip to Dublin. Very nice church, not really noticable from the outside, but the crypts make up for it. You will see very interesting things, with a wonderful guide :) you will know what I mean when you do the tour :) Please make this your number 1 thing to do... more

A Must See for both Dubliners and tourists alike. Handel and a wonderful old church above with his Messiah organ, ducking stool and heraldic flags. The crypt below is errie sure, but what do you expect from crypts containing the mummified remains of medieval nuns and crusaders and 18th century wreaths! more

I came to St. Michan's expecting to be disappointed by a complete tourist attraction (a boring tour that ends at an overpriced gift shop). So I was obviously blown away by how awesome this place was. It's not for the faint of heart; it takes courage just to go down the old narrow steps to enter the vaults, but once... more

When you arrive at St. Michans (across the Ha'Penny Bridge) on Church St ,. go directly into the gift shop/office. There you purchase tickets for the tour. I believe it was 7.00 euros. A very interesting and entertaining guide will tell you about the history of the church and THEN walk you around to go into the underground vaults. There... more

Amazing

didnt expect much from this unimposing church but the staff inside were lovely and once you get down to the crypt its something else. the guide was excellent and really made this. We saw many more "splendid" sights on our travels but the guiding was poor so when you had such an attraction as this with an amazing guide it... more

We had a last minute substitute tour guide, so we didn't get as much information as we had hoped, but it was still worth seeing. In addition to the mummies, you get to go into a second crypt that has entire families, including some people from the revolution. more

I visited St. Michan's just last May. I was lucky enough to arrive when nobody else was there in the morning. The tour was really interesting and given by a knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor. The mummies were the best this side of Egypt and the experience was much more personal than seeing the mummies at the... more

We had a family group of eight people going to this attraction, with a disparate range of ages, and everyone enjoyed this. Our guide managed to make it informative as well as creepy at the same time. We were there for the last tour of the day, and the crypts were particularly good as the sun was starting to set,... more
