Resplan
Börja din resa vid Henry Grattan-statyn i College Green, där Dublins politiska hjärta en gång slog som starkast. Samlas under bronsfiguren Grattan – den eldige parlamentarikern som kämpade för irländsk lagstiftnings självständighet på 1700-talet – och bana väg för en historia om makt, kultur, uppror och fantasi. Utforska ursprunget till College Green som en medeltida nöjespark, dess omvandling till Irlands politiska centrum och dess roll i att forma modern irländsk identitet. Från College Green, kliv genom portarna till Trinity College Dublin, grundat 1592 av drottning Elizabeth I. Gå in i Treasury Building och börja ditt besök i den världsberömda Book of Kells, skapad omkring 800 e.Kr. av munkar i Iona, Skottland och Kells, Irland
Undersök de häpnadsväckande detaljerna i de upplysta sidorna – de virvlande keltiska designerna, de gömda djuren, den gyllene symboliken – och lär dig hur manuskriptet överlevde vikingaräder, politiskt kaos och århundraden av noggrant bevarande. Därefter flyter turen in i Long Room Library på övervåningen, en av de mest hisnande litterära utrymmena i världen.
Besök och se det spektakulära Long Room Library och dess skyhöga fattak, 200 000 antika volymer, marmorbyster och antika harpor utgör en oförglömlig bakgrund när du utforskar Irlands tradition av stipendier och berättande. Fortsätt genom den nyligen omgjorda Book of Kells Experience, där uppslukande displayer och digitala rekonstruktioner ger turen liv.
Det irländska parlamentet är officiellt känt som Dáil Éireann, säte för den moderna irländska demokratin. Utanför Leinster House, diskutera den irländska fristatens historia, demokratins utveckling och de politiska debatter som fortsätter att forma nationen.
Vi går in på National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology för en guidad utforskning av Irlands gamla skatter. Höjdpunkterna inkluderar den vackra och antika Tara Brosch, Ardagh Chalice och de mystiska mosskropparna som bevarats i över två tusen år. När du väver igenom utställningar av Viking Dublin, keltiskt hantverk och tidiga kristna Irland, få en levande känsla av hur öns historia utvecklades långt innan skriven historia. Turen avslutas i närheten utanför Bram Stokers tidigare bostad, barndomshemmet för Draculas skapare. Utforska Stokers liv i Dublin, hans inspiration hämtad från stadens folklore och hur en tjänsteman från Kildare Street skapade en av de mest inflytelserika gotiska romanerna genom tiderna. Vid det sista stoppet kommer du att ha gått igenom mer än ett och ett halvt tusen år av irländsk kultur och arv.

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.
