I really enjoyed this tour and our guide was awesome! It's not so much a museum as it is a guide of a replica ship, however this was one of my favorite things to do in Dublin! Our guide was really knowledgeable and very friendly! She stayed and answered questions several minutes after the tour concluded. The history of Irish...

Owner description:
A guided tour of the Jeanie Johnston will give visitors the opportunity to learn about the experiences of Irish emigrants as they made a daunting transatlantic passage full of hope yet desperate to escape the hardship in Ireland during the Famine years. Daily tours begin AT THE SHIP which is located on Custom House Quay just downriver from the International Financial Services Centre and across the road from Jury’s Inn Hotel.

We toured the Jeanie Johnston on April 30th and it was a very moving and wonderful experience. Having relatives who come over on the ships made us even more thankful for all the hard times they had to endure. The tour was very interesting and very realistic to those days. Most of all, our tour director Paul McCarthy was what...

Much better than expected. The ship is doing great work teaching young people to work together, and the stories of 19th Century emigration were well told by the guide.

Our tour guide on the Jeanie was Paul. Paul was very informative about the subject of immigration from Ireland. He not only gives tours on the ship, but he continues to research family's and history of the ship. I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me, but I really enjoyed this tour. Wish it was a little longer...

We found this tour very informative, and also very harrowing as to how people had to survive during the famine and the lengths they had to go to for their's and their families survival.
This is a tour well worth taking, if you want to know more about how the famine affected families at the time, and in later years.

Learn the story of actual passengers and their fates. This tour will take you back to a very difficult time in Irish history. Eileen was very knowledgable. So glad we had the time to...

This was not on my list of things to do, but the ship was right across the road from our hotel (Clarion) so we did the tour. It was very informative and remarkable. This is a replica ship but just to think that people would risk their lives for a better life. The famine history is such a large part...
