Itinerario
Con nuestro experimentado y licenciado guía turístico comenzamos con una breve charla introductoria sobre el Trinity College y su historia desde 1592 en adelante.... luego dirígete al campus de la Universidad.
En el Trinity College visitamos El Libro de Kells, un libro evangélico manuscrito iluminado que se originó en el siglo IX. Es considerado uno de los mayores tesoros culturales de Irlanda y es ampliamente considerado como un ejemplo de arte insular. El libro es una obra maestra de la casa de apuestas medieval y contiene diseños intrincados, letras elaboradas e ilustraciones coloridas. Se compone de cuatro Evangelios: Mateo, Marcos, Lucas y Juan, y está escrito en latín. El Libro de Kells se encuentra en la Biblioteca del Trinity College en Dublín, Irlanda, donde es visto por millones de visitantes cada año.
Estamos afuera y pasamos por el Banco de Irlanda en College Green para un ejemplo anterior y quizás más noble de reutilización en el edificio de la ciudad. De pie en la isla de tráfico en College Green y mirando hacia arriba, es difícil no impresionarse. Seguramente este es el banco más grande que has visto. Hay un escudo real. Estatuas de Hibernia (nombre latino de Irlanda), Fidelidad y Comercio. Y a nivel del suelo, un par de cañones. Ah, y una caja centinela. Todas son pistas sobre el antiguo papel de este edificio porque, durante los primeros 61 años de su vida, fue sede de las Cámaras del Parlamento irlandés. En 1800, sin embargo, el parlamento irlandés se votó a sí mismo fuera de existencia, y sus antiguas instalaciones se convirtieron en la sucursal insignia del Banco de Irlanda en 1803. Tuvo una historia increíble durante esos tiempos de colonización y rebelión. El edificio fue la primera cámara bicameral del Parlamento en Europa («bicameral» significa que tenía dos «cámaras»: una Cámara de los Comunes y una Cámara de los Lores).
Una última charla de historia de Dublín - 'Through The Ages' a la estatua de Molly Malone se encuentra a poca distancia de donde comenzó en College Green y Trinity College. Molly Malone fue una figura semihistórica y semilegendaria que fue conmemorada en la canción 'Cockles and Mussels', un himno de Dublín. Una gran oportunidad para fotos de su visita.
Descubre la cautivadora historia del Castillo de Dublín, un destino imprescindible en el corazón de la capital de Irlanda. Una vez que fue el centro del dominio británico en Irlanda durante más de 700 años, el castillo se ha transformado en un vibrante sitio cultural e histórico que recibe a miles de visitantes cada año. El interior del Castillo y los terrenos están cerrados actualmente, el recorrido recorrerá el exterior y hablará de sus secretos ocultos e historias del pasado. Tanto si eres un amante de la historia, entusiasta de la arquitectura, o simplemente explorar el exterior de Dublín. (Este tour no visita el interior de los edificios y terrenos del Castillo, ya que está cerrado actualmente para todos)

Sites were incredible, but Noel the tour guide made it even more so. His knowledge of history combined with a fantastic sense of humor was the perfect welcome to Ireland. Highly recommend.
Noel was a great guide. Very personable and funny. I had relatively low expectations for the Book of Kells, thinking “it’s just an old book”, but the entire exhibit and structure of everything really brought home why it’s such a treasured artifact. We got lots of info on the battle for Irish independence, some great pub and restaurant recommendations and the Long Room at Trinity was a real treat.
Marty was awesome! Tons of knowledge about the history of Ireland and great recommendations for food
Our guide was very kind. We knew it was all walking, and my husband can handle that but we stopped for long periods and just stood at most places, with no where to sit or move much. My husband made it but had we been able to sit anywhere at the talking points it would have been so much easier. No regrets we went. We did see and learn lots, but with my husband's back we just could have used more places to sit as we listened. With those without those limitations we certainly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour with Seamus. He was extremely knowledgeable in all the history and sites that we visited.
We're delighted to hear you had an excellent tour with Seamus. His passion for Dublin's history and his enthusiasm for bringing each site to life make every tour a memorable experience.

We went on a tour with Noel and had an excellent experience. Noel was kind, knowledgeable, and funny! He made the entire experience enjoyable, included everyone in our group (we had 3 separate groups of tourists) and provided us all with a great summary of Dublin's history and key sites. The tour was a bit longer than we anticipated, so bring water, but it was well worth it. We would recommend Noel's tour group to anyone.
Marty our guide was amazing!!! It was a very small group, 4 of us total and that’s what he specializes in! We felt like family he was taking to tour his home town. So very knowledgeable and enthusiastic it made our day so fun! My mom of 81 was with us and he was very aware of walking speeds. Such a great time I would recommend this tour versus the larger group tours. 10 out of 10!!!
