Reisroute

Ga verder met deze fascinerende volledig begeleide tour naar Dublin Castle. Oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 13e eeuw op een plek die eerder door de Vikingen was bewoond, fungeerde het 700 jaar lang als militair fort, gevangenis, schatkist, rechtbanken en de zetel van de Engelse administratie in Ierland. Dublin Castle werd herbouwd in de 17e, 18e, 19e en 20e eeuw en wacht op iedereen die haar poorten binnenkomt. Tijdens deze volledig begeleide exterieurtour zie je de originele 13e-eeuwse Record & Octagonal Towers, de Upper & Lower State Yards en hun architectonische hoogtepunten. Onder leiding van een Expert lokale Engels sprekende Gids die ongelooflijke geheimen zal onthullen, waaronder verhalen over intriges en mysterie, is deze tour een "must do" voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de geschiedenis van Ierland. Geniet van en voeg bonus toe aan deze prachtige tour door het 13e-eeuwse kasteel om de kasteeltuinen te bezoeken, dat is de locatie waar de eerste Vikingen in 795 na Christus in Dublin landden. Vandaag is het een prachtig Keltisch geïnspireerd aangelegd gazon.
Bezoek Dublin's mascotte 'Molly Malone Statue', waar je lokale gids je kennis laat maken met de heldin van Dublin en haar beroemde lied. De tragische heldin van het lied en haar kruiwagen zijn een van de bekendste symbolen van de hoofdstad geworden. Het populaire lied 'Cockles and Mussels' is niet alleen internationaal bekend en gezongen, maar is ook een soort onofficieel volkslied van de stad Dublin geworden.
Bezoek het 9e eeuwse Book of Kells, in het jaar 1007 in historische documenten van Ulster beschreven als ‘het meest waardevolle object in de westerse wereld'. In het millennium daarna is de culturele en historische waarde ervan alleen maar toegenomen. Het magnifieke kunstwerk geldt al 1200 jaar als het grootste voorbeeld van middeleeuwse decoratiekunst. Deze tour begint bij het ontdekken van de rijke versieringen en verkent de dichte symboliek en betekenis en zijn verdiensten als artistiek meesterwerk.
Na uw bezoek aan het Book of Kells en de Bibliotheek heeft u nog 10 minuten de tijd voor een bezoek aan de souvenirwinkel.

EXCELLENT! Our guide Fergus was absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient! If we could give him 10-Stars instead of a perfect 5-Stars, we would! And this includes my hubby’s & daughter’s input along with mine! We highly recommend this tour, & Fergus of course! Thank you.
Our guide was very knowledgeable with the history and told great stories. However, seemed very unorganized. The maps and historical pictures she showed were old and tattered in baggies. Your guides should be using updated materials that are laminated.
Would definitely recommend the tour. Your are given so much history and you really get to see a lot of the city. Fair warning it’s a lot of walking and expect to get rained on during the excursion. We walked almost 8 miles by the time we were done at the Guinness warehouse so come prepared.
This experience stated that it included Dublin Castle grounds but Viator knew that the grounds were closed due to a political event and did not advertise this. The customer service refused to partial refund charges even though the advertised information was not accurate. Richard was awesome at Trinity College, but I could walk and see all the castle details outside the gates by myself without paying the extra money. Too expensive for what was provided. I would suggest booking tours through another company that is honors what is advertised and charged.
Leanne, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Richard's guidance and recognised the knowledge and enthusiasm he brought to your experience. We are, however, sorry to learn that you were disappointed by the Dublin Castle portion of the tour. On the day of your visit, access to the Dublin Castle grounds was unfortunately not permitted due to official Government business taking place at the Castle. These closures are determined by the Irish Government and Dublin Castle authorities and are outside the control of LetzGo City Tours. While we understand this was disappointing, it was an exceptional operational circumstance rather than a permanent change to the experience. Rather than simply skipping this important location, Richard brought the group to the historic Dublin Castle District and delivered the full historical narrative surrounding the site. Guests learned about the Castle's role as the seat of English administration and governance in Ireland for more than 800 years, the transfer of power following Irish independence, and the significance of the surrounding landmarks, including views of the Castle exterior, the unique Lady Justice statue, and the historic precincts that continue to tell the story of this remarkable location. Your tour also included a fully guided visit to St Patrick's Cathedral, reserved admission to the Book of Kells Experience, entry to the magnificent Long Room at Trinity College, a guided walk through the historic Trinity College campus, the Molly Malone Statue, and expert storytelling that brings over a thousand years of Dublin's history to life. We appreciate your comments regarding communication. Whenever we receive confirmed information about temporary closures from the venue, we always endeavour to communicate this to guests as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, Government operational requirements can sometimes change at short notice, making advance notification difficult. We are sorry that the temporary closure affected your enjoyment of the experience, but we hope the depth of Richard's guiding and the many other highlights included in the tour still provided you with a memorable introduction to Dublin's rich history. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you safe and enjoyable travels.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this tour but everything was very informative. I think we had the perfect amount of time to explore the destinations. Our group size was great. I’m so glad we got to see the Book of Kells before they shut down for renovations. The whole experience was amazing. I was bummed we didn’t get to into the Dublin Castle because of important visitors, but it was nice to learn all about it anyway. My guide Maura Bridget was a godsend. She was very respectful of everyone’s religious beliefs while explaining certain parts of the tour. Maura shared so much knowledge. I loved the maps she carried around to give everyone a visual of what she was explaining. After the tour Maura took the time to make sure everyone knew where they were going, gave suggestions to those who needed it, and helped me on a personal level find some very specific things I was looking for to get for my family. She is an amazing person. Wish I could go on another tour with her. Thank you for everything Maura.
Dear Bridget, Thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review and for sharing such thoughtful feedback about your experience with Maura Bridget.

It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College, and that you had the opportunity to see the world-famous Book of Kells and the breathtaking Long Room before the upcoming conservation works begin. We also appreciate your understanding regarding Dublin Castle. Unfortunately, from time to time, access to parts of the Castle can be restricted due to important state events, government functions, and official visitors. While these occasions are outside our control, our guides are dedicated to ensuring guests still receive a comprehensive understanding of the Castle's remarkable history, its role as the seat of British administration in Ireland for over 700 years, and its significance in Ireland's journey to independence. Your comments about Maura Bridget truly mean a great deal. She is an exceptional guide whose warmth, professionalism, and passion for Irish history shine through on every tour.
