    Informative and funny. Was able to immediately put our new knowledge to use recognizing statues of relevant figures on our walk back. Shoutout Daryl.

    A beautiful haven amidst Dublin. Around every turn you might find a different style of garden, a water feature, some history, or a special piece of art. Be sure to walk its circumference. During my stay in Dublin this park was my early morning walk. I watched Dubliners from all parts of life enjoy the park, walking to work, and enjoyed all of the plant and animal life that was present throughout. I just felt it to be such a peaceful park where there is always somewhere to be by yourself knowing that the city surrounds you.

    Really enjoyed this museum. A comprehensive telling of Irish emigration and the positive impact of Irish emigration on the rest of the world. Like many others, I made sure I stamped my "passport" at each display. Because I was booked on a tour of the Jeanie Johnston tall ship, just opposite EPIC, I broke my visit into two. So EPIC, Jeanie Johnston, EPIC. That worked really well for me. Found the display of fitting your "Entire life" into a suitcase very poignant. Very good use of visual images to enhance the displays in each section.

    Great self guided tour of the cathedral. We used the free Audio Guide devices which gives you information along the tour. I recommend visiting this site.

    This type of experience is right up my alley, so my review is most likely biased. However, I did cajole my family into coming (including two teenage boys) and everyone agreed it is a tour that should be on everyone's Dublin must-see list. Elizabeth, our guide, was informative, engaging and shared much history about not only the house, and its tenants but also Dublin in general. An incredible treasure located right in the heart of the city!

    Grafton Street reportedly is a wonderful and popular shopping district in Dublin with an amazing selection of shops and department stores, but that wasn't why we were there. Since the 1980s, Grafton has become internationally known for its street entertainment; poets, mime artists, and dancers, and particularly for busking (playing music in the street for donations). Since I had seen several street performers on YouTube "busking" there, I wanted to make sure we got to visit during our cruise stop in Dublin. The musicians generally perform to the shopping crowds, so the best time to come is during the day and afternoon when the shops are open and busy. The street itself is not very long (several blocks) and connects Trinity College to St Stephen's Green (a public park). The performers are generally set up about 100 yards apart and there may be five to six buskers performing at the same time. The performers have to pay a fee to perform, and their performance is limited to an hour in any one spot. If they perform again the same day, it must be in a different location. Grafton is a pedestrian-only street, so you don't have to worry about cars and traffic as you wander down the middle of the road. It has a unique and festive atmosphere, and we loved just walking down the street taking it all in.

    i found it to be worth the visit. interesting animals and beautiful setting!

    there are many vending machines and toilets along the way and the entire zoo seems to be accessible. however almost every coffee/snack shop was closed.

    make sure to arrive early enough because you definitively need around 2,5h to see it all.

    From the very start of the tour, our guide Faye was engaging and full of knowledge. She was able to relay a huge amount of historical facts in a very short period of time yet kept us all completely engaged in what she was saying. This replica ship is brilliantly laid out to give a small glimpse of the horrendous journeys she made during the famine. Well worth a visit (and fingers crossed you have Faye as your guide!)

    Large museum. Lots to see. Interesting for all ages

    I like to read. Or watch TV. Difficult to do both simultaneously, especially as some rooms had two TV screens. Difficult to concentrate. I'd prefer silent sceeens with subtitles / headphones

    Absolutely brilliant tour of the stadium. Visited on 22 March 2025. The tour guide Linda was first class. Her knowledge was superb and having no knowledge of gaelic football or hurling prior to my visit i came away feeling that i had been educated in a very informative way. Any sports fans i would fully recommend this experience. The stadium is very impressive.

    I went on the Irish language tour with Sean. It was a great experience to do the tour trí Ghaeilge and I really enjoyed it. I wish it had been more advertised though as I feel there are many groups that would enjoy it!

    This was a good bit of fun for about 45 minutes or so. The storytelling was good fun and well tailored to the audience of mixed adults and children and the tour guide, Neive, was great.
