Reisroute
Begin je reis bij het Henry Grattan-beeld in College Green, waar het politieke hart van Dublin ooit het sterkst klopte. Verzamel je onder de bronzen figuur van Grattan – de vurige parlementariër die in de 18e eeuw voor Ierse wetgevende onafhankelijkheid opkwam – en bereid het toneel voor een verhaal over macht, cultuur, opstand en verbeelding. Ontdek de oorsprong van College Green als middeleeuws kermisterrein, de transformatie ervan tot het politieke centrum van Ierland en de rol die het speelt bij het vormgeven van de moderne Ierse identiteit. Vanaf College Green stapt u door de poorten van Trinity College Dublin, opgericht in 1592 door koningin Elizabeth I. Ga het Treasury Building binnen en begin uw bezoek aan het wereldberoemde Book of Kells, dat rond 800 na Christus is gemaakt door monniken van Iona, Schotland en Kells, Ierland
Onderzoek de verbazingwekkende details van de verluchte pagina's - de wervelende Keltische ontwerpen, de verborgen dieren, de gouden symboliek - en leer hoe het manuscript Vikinginvallen, politieke onrust en eeuwen van zorgvuldige conservering overleefde. Vervolgens stroomt de tour naar de Long Room Library boven, een van de meest adembenemende literaire ruimtes ter wereld.
Bezoek en bekijk de spectaculaire Long Room Library en het hoge vatenplafond, 200.000 antieke volumes, marmeren bustes en oude harp vormen een onvergetelijke achtergrond terwijl je de Ierse traditie van wetenschap en verhalen verkent. Ga verder door de nieuw ontworpen Book of Kells Experience, waar meeslepende displays en digitale reconstructies de tour tot leven brengen.
Het Ierse parlement, officieel bekend als Dáil Éireann, zetel van de moderne Ierse democratie. Bespreek buiten Leinster House de geschiedenis van de Ierse Vrijstaat, de evolutie van de democratie en de politieke debatten die de natie blijven vormen.
We betreden het National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology voor een begeleide verkenning van de oude schatten van Ierland. Hoogtepunten zijn onder andere de prachtige en oude Tara Broche, de Ardagh Chalice en de mysterieuze moeraslichamen die meer dan tweeduizend jaar bewaard zijn gebleven. Terwijl je door tentoonstellingen van Viking Dublin, Keltisch vakmanschap en vroegchristelijk Ierland weeft, krijg je een levendig gevoel van hoe het verhaal van het eiland zich ontvouwde lang voor de geschreven geschiedenis. De tour eindigt vlakbij Bram Stokers voormalige residentie, het ouderlijk huis van de bedenker van Dracula. Ontdek Stokers leven in Dublin, zijn inspiraties uit de folklore van de stad en hoe een ambtenaar van Kildare Street een van de meest invloedrijke gotische romans aller tijden creëerde. Bij de laatste stop heb je meer dan anderhalf duizend jaar Ierse cultuur en erfgoed gewandeld.

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.
