- 802nikas0 contributions10/10 Private Walking TourIt was a great experience. I learned so much from my guide! I was able to discuss topics I wanted and focus on specific areas. Would recommend to those in small groups or even solo.Written 24 November 2024
- Charlene O0 contributionsA great tour prior to our main tourThis excursion was booked before our actual tour of Ireland started. I read this tour was not to be missed. There was so much history to explore. We took a quick cab ride from our Hotel on O’Connell street. The detailed drawings color and history were amazing. We were able to walk back to our hotel after the tour. Do not miss this attraction. Booking was very easy with Trip advisor.Written 23 November 2024
- decmax20170 contributionsWitness History Museum, GPO Dublin, Ireland. Rebel Rising Tour.Rebel Rising Tour by Caitriona. The story of the easter rising is a very large and pivotal time in Irelands history. So much to cover in a very special place. The tour was rich in historic detail with deep insights. This was a solid and effortless presentation by Caitriona so I would highly recommend this immersive experience.Written 21 October 2024
- ElaineIrvine0 contributionsThe Nook of KellsFirst make sure read what is included even if the title may refer to a place. I was aware this was a walking tour which included the Book of Kells. The Church and Castle is a walk around with the guide was informative giving the history of each site. There are several interesting stops along the way. We started out early and went through the castle and I would recommend you to do the same. The Kells was amazing and worth the entire tour on its own.Written 16 October 2024
- Nicole D0 contributionsBook of Kells, Trinity college and Christ church,We had Dave from Dublin Rogues Tour. He was very knowledgeable about everything and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend him and will take another tour with him when in Dublin again. Cheers!Written 13 October 2024
- Departure2826170 contributionsdublun highlightsnice but bored guide. Very awesome to see book of kells and Trinity U but so disappointed we only saw Christ Cathedral from the outside. maybe I misread the tour description. I would've booked a separate tour to see Christ Cathedral, but it was late in the day and we're leaving in the morning and tours were not available that time. It was too expensive for what we gotWritten 13 October 2024
