This was a fasinating look at the world of the 1800's when these wonderful houses were first built. The very skilled tour guides were very informative and explained what life would have been like for both the servents and the family. Staff generally very helpful. The furniture displayed in the house was all from the period and added to the... more

This is a little outside the main city centre but worth a look if you are visiting the National Gallery. We enjoyed the tour for the historical aspect but if you get Adam the tourguide, he seemed new and a little nervous talking but overall this was a good tour and there is also a 10 minute video before you... more

I had a lot of fun going through this house. It really helps you get a feel for what living in that time was like (including how dangerous Dublin was and how little the servants were allowed to eat). If you are in Dublin with a bit of time on your hands, you should definitely check this place out. more

Enjoyed it

I really learned a lot on the tour and it was cool to actually get to go inside one of the old houses in the area. more

None of the guide books I read had a lot to say about this place but I thought it was amazing. The tour, which only cost 5 euros, began with a 15 minute video about the history of the house and the area, and was followed by a tour of all 5 storeys of the house. The guide was excellent... more

Number 29 is well worth visiting for a glimpse into life in the Georgian era. The building has been restored and furnished with things from the era. The visit starts with a brief video that gives the background of the house and the family that first lived there. Visitors then go on a guided tour of the home - our... more

This is one of the little secrets that Dublin has in terms of attractions. It's a restored Georgian House in the period when first was build; it tells the story of the family that lived there, as well as the period, social culture and general life in the 18th Century. The house is beautifully decorated with very interesting artefact as... more

Very well restored Georgian House which has been well furnished with genuine artifacts and furniture of the period to a very high standard. Guided tour is given enthusiastically and with great knowledge in a manner which engages the visitor. We went there as shelter from a rainy afternoon but would recommend it as one of our top 10 sites in... more
