We had such a wonderful experience here. I was amazed by the quality and creativity of the tour at Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre. They have an excellent tour showing the history of Dalkey and the castle. The actors really help bring to life the castle and history in a way you won’t see anywhere else. You’ll find you are learning a lot about the time period, castle and area through delightful and entertaining dialog. The actors were brilliant and hilarious, and they brought the history of Dalkey to life in a very entertaining way. The castle itself was beautiful and well-preserved, and the staff was very so helpful and accommodating. It was a great value for money and a memorable experience. Definitely recommend checking out Dalkey as well for a nice day trip from Dublin for its charming streets and shops.

We have lived in the area for a few years now but didn't have a strong reason to go to the Dalkey Castle until a friend recommended it for Christmas. When booked tickets we saw they had a Halloween Experience that looks fun. AND wow, we took our 6 yr old and a friend and were so impressed with what they did. It was a great mix of culture, history and fun for all of us. It's definitely worth a visit.

I brought a group of students to visit the castle. I was very impressed by the friendly professional staff. They love what they do and took the time to explain the different areas of the castle and the activities to the students. Well worth the visit.

Fantastic experience! Well worth it, easy train ride from Dublin. History and humor. Great tour guide at the castle, wonderful medieval actors in character describing life in the castle.

This was the most delightful tour we have been on in years! What fun to get to interact with “real” people who lived in the castle 100s of years ago! We learned so much from their engaging, humorous presentations of how they survived such difficult times. They never broke character when answering our questions and often left us laughing. The tour guide (Sharon) was very knowledgeable and took her time with us. We highly recommend this tour!

Went to the Christmas show with my Grandchildren. Fantastic experience for them, magical setting, excellent interaction by all the team with the kids. Best value around. We'll be back! Many thanks to all involved.

What a pleasant experience! A special mention to our guide Mr Fran and his amazing knowledge, patience and care with our group. The actors also made an unique experience. I've been visited many castles all over Europe and has never seen actors playing as the castle staff and sharing their daily duties. I highly recommend it. Thanks to all staff again. Debora Vendramini and family.

Wonderful history lesson (on my doorstep!) from a really great tour guide. The group visited various parts of the castle, from storerooms to battlements (fantastic views) and were well informed and entertained by the castle’s barber, archer and cook! The interactive heritage centre warrants a visit - there’s just so much to read about!

Excellent visit. The actors in the Living history tour were superb and very entertaining. The view from the battlements was fantastic and the overall experience was worth every penny. Even my son got to mint a coin that he could keep! The gift shop was also reasonably priced compared to other sites we have visited. Highly recommended and very informative.
