The Book of Kells itself is extraordinary and absolutely worth seeing. The exhibit does a very good job explaining the history, artistry, and importance of the manuscript, and seeing it in person is a memorable experience. The only disappointing part was the Old Library. Most of the books are currently being cleaned and preserved, so the Long Room does not have the same full, dramatic appearance you may expect from photos. To their credit, they have left a few sections filled with books so visitors can still get a sense of the experience, and the preservation work obviously has to be done. Still, it was a little disappointing. Even with that, this remains an important and worthwhile Dublin visit.
We took the tour on June 19, and of course, it rained (after all, we are in Ireland). Valentina, however, our guide, was attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and also very friendly. In the end, we left Trinity College filled with wonder and truly excited. I highly recommend it, even during the first part of the city visit because, despite the rain, Valentina was able to help us appreciate corners we had not yet seen.
Cara Laura, grazie per le sue splendide parole. Ha ragione su tutto, siamo in Irlanda e come dico sempre, non possiamo aspettare il sole per poter fare una visita della nostra città. Valentina poi è una forza della natura, la sua capacità di raccontare Dublino a pochissimi eguali! Vi aspettiamo per nuove avventure con Senza Meta, in terra d'Irlanda. Antonio
We toured Dublin in the rain, but our guide (Giorgia) made us not regret choosing the wrong day at all. A well-prepared, available, and patient girl to meet our requests. Thank you
Cara Lucia, grazie per la splendida recensione per Giorgia e per il nostro tour. In verità non c'è mai un giorno sbagliato per fare un tour a Dublino, soprattutto con noi di Senza Meta. Giorgia da poco è entrata a fare parte della nostra famiglia, e subito si è calata nello spirito dei nostri tour, raccontare la città che amiamo e farlo con ironia. Grazie ancora e se per caso passate da Firenze, contattatemi, sarò felice di accompagnarvi alla scoperta della città culla del rinascimento. Antonio
A very well-organized tour, our guide Elisa was truly excellent, knowledgeable, and passionate, accompanying us throughout the tour with plenty of information, anecdotes, and curiosities that are not easily found, highly recommended!!
Elisa è da sempre sinonimo di qualità. Il suo amore per Dublino, unito alla grande passione con cui racconta la città e alla sua straordinaria capacità di coinvolgere chi la ascolta, riesce a tenere incantati viaggiatori di tutte le età, dal primo all’ultimo minuto del tour. A nome di tutto il team di Senza Meta, grazie per le splendide parole e per la bellissima recensione. Sono testimonianze che ci fanno davvero piacere e che ci motivano a continuare a offrire esperienze sempre più coinvolgenti. Vi aspettiamo per nuove avventure nell’Isola Verde o, perché no, anche a Firenze, qualora ne aveste il piacere. Buon rientro e a presto! Antonio
A very positive experience. An engaging and knowledgeable guide who introduced us to the city and culture of Dublin. Absolutely recommended.
Grazie per la splendida recensione. Per i nostri tour scegliamo di affidarci esclusivamente a professionisti qualificati, persone che conoscono a fondo il territorio e la sua storia. In una città dove spesso chiunque può improvvisarsi guida da un giorno all’altro, riteniamo che competenza, preparazione e passione facciano davvero la differenza. Spero di potervi rivedere presto in Irlanda e, se ne avrete piacere, anche a Firenze. Da poco siamo presenti anche lì e sarò personalmente lieto di accompagnarvi alla scoperta della città, culla del Rinascimento, condividendone storia, arte e curiosità. Buon rientro e a presto! Antonio
Very interesting visit thanks to Elisa, who is very knowledgeable and skilled at conveying her passion for this country
Caro Matteo, grazie per la sua recensione e per le belle parole dedicate a Elisa. Confermo pienamente quanto ha scritto: Elisa è davvero speciale nel modo in cui riesce a trasmettere la sua passione e la sua profonda conoscenza di Dublino, coinvolgendo ogni partecipante con entusiasmo e competenza. Sono felice che anche con voi sia riuscita a rendere il nostro tour un'esperienza unica e piacevole, lasciandovi un ricordo speciale della città. Vi aspettiamo nuovamente in Irlanda per nuove avventure e, perché no, anche a Firenze! Un caro saluto da tutto il team di Senza Meta, Antonio
Very pleasant experience. The guide, Giulio, was very professional and provided us with a lot of information not only about the monuments but also about the economy, current events, restaurants, and pubs to visit. Highly recommended.
Cara Sabrina, grazie per la splendida recensione. Giulio è la guida con cui collaboriamo da più tempo e, fin dal primo giorno, si è distinto per la sua straordinaria capacità di unire conoscenze culturali, artistiche e storiche a un'infinità di curiosità e aneddoti che rendono ogni visita coinvolgente e memorabile. Grazie alla sua passione e alla sua innata capacità comunicativa, riesce a trasformare ogni tour in un'esperienza unica, capace di lasciare un ricordo speciale a chi vi partecipa. Vi aspettiamo presto per nuove avventure nella splendida Irlanda e, se verrete a Firenze, sarò lieto di accompagnarvi personalmente alla scoperta della città culla del Rinascimento. Un caro saluto e buon proseguimento, Antonio
A beautiful city tour with Elisa, who was very skilled and well-prepared. Highly recommended tour for a first taste of the city of Dublin.
Caro Simone, grazie per la splendida recensione per Elisa, che come sempre, grazie alle sue fantastiche doti comunicative, ed amore per Dublino, riesce a trasformare un semplice tour, in un indimenticabile esperienza. Vi aspettiamo per nuove avventure in terra d'Irlanda. Antonio
An interesting visit accompanied by Elisa, who is very knowledgeable and very proud to be Irish.
Vero Elisa è preparatissima ed il fatto di essere metà italiana e metà irlandese è decisamente un suo punto di forza. Grazie per aver scelto Senza Meta 'er visitare Dublino. Vi aspettiamo per nuove avventure sia in Irlanda che a Firenze.
This was an incredible tour! We had Michael as our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and he brought Dublin and its amazing history to life! He doesn’t work off a script, can talk about anything and answer any of your questions. Would recommend this tour HIGHLY !!!!
Dear Susan, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I completely agree—Michael is an incredible storyteller, and as a true Irishman, he has a unique talent for turning a tour of Dublin into an unforgettable experience. Thank you for choosing us through Viator. It was a real pleasure having you on tour, and we hope to welcome you back to Ireland again in the future. Warm regards, Antonio
