This is a must-see place to visit in Dublin. Roger was a great guide! He was informative, patient and funny. We learned so much from him. The library was incredible. Great tour!

We had a great tour of the Book of Kells, Dublin Castle & Molly Malone statue. Our guide, Alan, described what we would be seeing and did a great job in describing specific things we should look for - so we didn't miss it.

Moira, Maura, Mary all the same person GREAT gal however I told her we had trouble with the website charging us for three people instead of two. She said she adjusted it and we did not get a credit so far as I can tell.
Also had great difficulty finding the group initially

Unfortunately the weather was a bit of an issue. No fault of anyone of course but it did keep us pretty cold and we had to cut the tour short. Otherwise the tour guide Richard was great with side stories and humour. And the library was stunning. Recommend this to anyone

Book of Kells was amazing a must see! The guide was so knowledgeable about the sites and gave so much insight to the city and history along with many suggestions on what to see and where to eat.

Allen in the yellow hat was the best tour guide we've had in Ireland so far. Very knowledgable and witty. I would highly reconnend this tour. The only negative I found was I would have loved more time in each of the places to explore a bit more.

The trip was so much more than I expected. Richard, our guide, took us through three hours of history and wonderful places we would not have seen or had any idea existed. Truly knowledgeable and helpful. He even recommended a great steak place (and several pubs) for dinner. This tour exceeded my expectations in every way!
