Itinerario
Inizia il tuo viaggio dalla statua di Henry Grattan a College Green, dove un tempo il cuore politico di Dublino batteva più forte. Raccoglietevi sotto la figura bronzea di Grattan, il parlamentare focoso che sostenne l'indipendenza legislativa irlandese nel XVIII secolo, e preparate il terreno per una storia di potere, cultura, ribellione e immaginazione. Esplora le origini di College Green come quartiere fieristico medievale, la sua trasformazione nel centro politico dell'Irlanda e il suo ruolo nel plasmare la moderna identità irlandese. Dal College Green, varca le porte del Trinity College Dublin, fondato nel 1592 dalla regina Elisabetta I. Entra nel Treasury Building e inizia la tua visita al famoso Book of Kells, creato intorno all'800 d.C. dai monaci di Iona, Scozia e Kells, Irlanda
Esamina lo stupefacente dettaglio delle pagine miniate - i vorticosi disegni celtici, gli animali nascosti, il simbolismo dorato - e scopri come il manoscritto è sopravvissuto alle incursioni vichinghe, ai tumulti politici e a secoli di attenta conservazione. Successivamente, il tour confluisce nella Long Room Library al piano superiore, uno degli spazi letterari più mozzafiato al mondo.
Visita e ammira la spettacolare Long Room Library e il suo svettante soffitto a botte, 200.000 volumi antichi, busti in marmo e arpa antica formano uno sfondo indimenticabile mentre esplori la tradizione irlandese di studio e narrazione. Continua attraverso la Book of Kells Experience, recentemente ridisegnata, dove display immersivi e ricostruzioni digitali danno vita al tour.
Il Parlamento irlandese noto ufficialmente come Dáil Éireann, sede della moderna democrazia irlandese. Fuori da Leinster House, discutere la storia dello Stato Libero d'Irlanda, l'evoluzione della democrazia e i dibattiti politici che continuano a plasmare la nazione.
Entriamo nel National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology per un’esplorazione guidata degli antichi tesori irlandesi. I punti salienti includono la bellissima e antica spilla Tara, il calice Ardagh e i misteriosi corpi di palude conservati per oltre duemila anni. Mentre ti intrecci tra le mostre della Dublino vichinga, dell'artigianato celtico e della prima Irlanda cristiana, ottieni un vivido senso di come la storia dell'isola si è svolta molto prima della storia scritta. Il tour si conclude nelle vicinanze fuori dall'ex residenza di Bram Stoker, la casa d'infanzia del creatore di Dracula. Esplora la vita di Stoker a Dublino, le sue ispirazioni tratte dal folklore della città e come un funzionario di Kildare Street creò uno dei romanzi gotici più influenti di tutti i tempi. Entro la tappa finale, avrai percorso più di un migliaio di anni di cultura e patrimonio irlandese.

Guide was fantastic. Of all the tours and visits we've done, guide was very knowledgeable and helpful Simply put the guide Michael Kenny
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Michael made such a positive impression and that his knowledge and helpfulness stood out among all the tours you've experienced. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Mick—they'll mean a great deal to him. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again in the future!
We signed up for this tour and showed up to be told that the tour would not go to the Museum of Archaeology. The tour would go to Dublin Castle. I signed up specifically to see the Archaeology museum as it was advertised. I spent alot of money to just visit the Book of Kells. Fraud in advertising. The only reason this is not a 1 star is Alan was a terrific guide for the Book of Kells tour. I am sure I will not get a refund. Be careful and confirm tours as fraud is prevalent!
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed Alan's guiding and found his tour of Trinity College and the Book of Kells worthwhile. It appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding the tour you booked. You went on the wrong tour and didnt contact or inform us. The tour you joined was our Trinity College, Book of Kells and Dublin Castle walking tour. The National Museum of Archaeology is not included in that itinerary, we believe you went with the wrong tour group and didn't not inform us of this.... there are two groups with our company. We take great care to ensure that all tour descriptions accurately reflect the sites visited. It is possible that details from a different tour or attraction were confused with the one booked. Had this issue been raised with us on the day, we would have been happy to fix the booking details and clarify any confusion immediately. Kind regards Tour Operations
Great tour. We loved the flexibility of being able to go at our own pace. Fast in some areas and slower in areas we were much more interested in. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We had the time and focus to get all of our questions answered. Highly recommend.
Thanks for your thoughtful 5* top review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the flexibility of the tour—it’s exactly what we aim for, letting each group explore at their own pace while diving deeper into what interests them most. Great to hear your guide made the experience both informative and welcoming, and that all your questions were answered along the way of course. Hope to see you again soon.
We had a nice small group with a very knowledgeable host. He pointed out so many historical areas and facts. The pace and duration was good for all ages.
Really appreciate that..and the 5* review, thank you. Yes, smaller groups do make a big difference, it lets us get into the detail and bring those juicy little stories to life properly in greater storytelling fashion by taking our time. Glad the pace suited everyone too. Hope you took plenty away from it and we hope to see you back again in Dublin.
Keep in mind it's a walking tour so you are not going inside all the places listed but the Book of Kells. Our guide , Noel Quinn, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, very funny! Great time! He was also attentive to our needs and we were able to do this tour and not be late to our next! Add additional time between tours!!
Thank you for the kind words and 5* review. We’re delighted you had such a great time on the tour with Noel who has a wonderful way of bringing Dublin’s history to life while keeping things real, relaxed and enjoyable. We’re also glad the timing worked out well for the rest of your day. Thanks again.
Since this was my first trip to Ireland, my guide helped me with 150 questions, not only related to the Book of Kells tour. Our visit to to Trinity College was much enriched by the additional facts and history he provided. He was funny, informative, knowledgeable, and terribly interesting!
We’re delighted your first trip to Ireland was enriched by the tour and that all those questions—Book of Kells and beyond—were part of the fun. It’s wonderful to hear that the visit to Trinity College felt deeper, more engaging and full of great stories. We really appreciate ofcourse you sharing your experience and giving us a top rated 5* and hope your time in Ireland stays memorable long after the tour ends.
