What travelers are saying
- Claire L1 contributionExcellent visit, a great insight into Irish history, brilliant tour guide and reasonably priced. Book early though, as sells out quickly and no walk ins. Totally recommend s visit.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vicki E43 contributionsReally enjoyed the walkthrough - self guided tour and spent over three hours in here. You queue up outside in your time slot the go in and it does take a bit of time but not crushed or chaotic. Layout inside was good. Very hard to get a seat in the gravity bar & this was a shame- would have stayed longer. We had a cruffin & cinnamon whirl part way found and cafe was reasonably priced & pastries were lovely. Slightly disappointed that the advertising section didn’t have a reel of all the adverts playing and even on the self selected screens there were only a few to watch. Also took over 10 minutes waiting for a lift down from floor 5 but it was impossible so we took the stairs instead. Didn’t have the audio guide as missed where you got these from but enjoyed the displays & audio/ info so wonder if the audio guides are for different languages. We did really enjoy the storehouse and it’s been the best part of our trip. A map of the inside would also have been useful.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon2 contributionsIf you’re in Dublin & love Football (Soccer if you wish) take the football walking tour. A good walk, you’ll learn stuff & you’ll laugh!Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michele PProvince of Livorno, Italy44 contributionsI went on 24th of August with my family and all of us was amazed by the museum. Alan took us around the history of Irish Rock & Roll and we clearly felt his passion and his incredible knowledge for music. In our group there was also a Spanish guitarist, so we had also a small private concert which was really funny. It's a beautiful experience also for younger people.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David MSilver Spring, MD50 contributionsOur time at EPIC was spent with Dr. Declan Brady. He was a wealth of Knowledge about Irish & American history. He provided me with some tantalizing clues about my hard to locate great-grandmother.

- Barbara SStuttgart, Germany255 contributionsWhat a special experience visiting Ireland's National Cemetery. Truly a part of Ireland's history, do not miss visiting here, and do sign up for the tour. Our tour guide Pat was fantastic, a natural story teller. You can also take a wander around this picturesque cemetery to see such interesting gravestones and statues.
There is an onsite cafe + restrooms, and a small gift shop, where we bought almost every "pocket guide" book that they had.
We used Uber for a ride to and from this area, a quick ride from central Dublin. The tour lasted around 45 minutes, and we paid 40 euros for a family of 4. Well worth this price, highly recommend!Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dave bGalway, Ireland4 contributionsWe had the Irish Sign Language (ISL) guided tour with an amazing guide Alvean Jones. It was very interesting. Alvean story telling & explanation of each room we went into was amazing. Her story telling was captivating. I would highly recommend this guided tour, and Alvean’s knowledge of the house & Dublin history is outstanding. 10/10 for me.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madison PMontreal, Canada15 contributionsIt was very informative but be warned it’s cheesy. It is a great primer for the national museum however! And I suggest you check out the tower, don’t be intimidated by the stepsWritten August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joe L12 contributionsNice museum event though it is not large as other museums. The exhibitions were great. We only had less than an hour to tour this museum, but we had great time there.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steffi49Belgium97 contributionsGreat informative and entertaining tour by Noel, who manage to inject some humour into his presentation of this horrific topic. I would have liked him to make links with people fleeing horrors and dying at sea today and those benefiting from their misery. How much did a journey on the Jeannie Johnston cost compared to a journey on a ‘coffin ship’? Who could afford it and how? The tour was great but there didn’t seem time for questions unfortunately.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AslingEnnis, Clare, Ireland6 contributionsOne of the best tours I've even had the pleasure of been on. Evan our tour guide was so full of knowledge and very funny. The skyline itself it savage with cool views and the weather was amazing so it made it even better. Fab view of Dublin and was cool to learn a few new bits. Highly recommended it was better views that the storehouse Evan was rightWritten August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anne MDublin, Ireland120 contributionsThoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. We booked online to ensure that we got it at our preferred time and the reception kindly accommodated us although we arrived a little later than hoped.
I briefly hesitated before paying as the gallery is free but hesitation would have been an error. So interesting to visit with my daughter and learn about how the lives of these magnificent artists were restricted due to their gender.
The paintings were beautiful and magnificent as expected but the story of women’s lives in that era was almost as interesting.
I hope to go back again before the exhibition ends in October. Loved it!Written August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plentiful written descriptions. Audio guide available, plus lots of video interviews with historians & a 17 minute recreation of the siege.
