Description

Join our Licensed Local Guide on a captivating journey through Dublin, a city steeped in rich history and vibrant culture. Our group walking tour covers the most iconic landmarks and attractions, and includes skip-the-line tickets (with audioguide) to the Book of Kells exhibition at the Old Library in Trinity College! Come and discover Irish treasures and legends! This 3-hour walking tour is an essential experience of Dublin.

We begin our exciting adventure by meeting our guide in front of the Book of Kells exhibition. The Old Library, dating back to 1712, houses a collection of over 200,000 books, including the famous Book of Kells – a rare medieval manuscript renowned for its intricate illustrations and calligraphy.

Skip-the-line tickets and an audio-guided tour are included for this popular attraction. After the tour, the guide will be waiting for the group at the entrance. Come and discover this cultural treasure of Ireland

We’ll see landmarks such as the majestic Christ Church Cathedral, the Georgian City Hall, and the inner courtyards of Dublin Castle – the center of Ireland’s historic power (entrance tickets not included). We’ll also discover hidden gems like St Andrew’s Church and the Molly Malone Monument, which has a fascinating legend behind it.

Our exciting adventure will end on the banks of the River Liffey in the Temple Bar district – Dublin’s ‘cultural quarter’ and vibrant nightlife hub, home to the city’s most important cultural institutions and historic pubs.

Along the way, we’ll learn more about Irish whiskey, Irish beer, Irish rock’n’roll, Irish film, and much more. We’ll explore centuries of Dublin’s history and culture as we walk through the historic city centre, uncovering traces of Viking settlements, tales of Anglo-Norman kings, and monuments commemorating events such as the Great Irish Famine.
