Excellent tour ! - Our guide did an excellent job. He was extremely informative and filled us with a lot of knowledge. You could definitely feel that he truly enjoys welcoming everyone to Dublin and was very helpful with anything or questions we may have had.

A great tour prior to our main tour - This excursion was booked before our actual tour of Ireland started. I read this tour was not to be missed. There was so much history to explore. We took a quick cab ride from our Hotel on O’Connell street. The detailed drawings color and history were amazing. We were able to walk back to our hotel after the tour. Do not miss this attraction. Booking was very easy with Trip advisor.

Book Kells, Trinty, Dublin Castle... - What a great tour. Our guide Mr. Dave Kavanagh was great. From the first welcome to all the extra stories. He has a huge fund of knowledge, is very approachable and just overall, a great guy to spend 3 hours touring the city with. The walk was easy. The extra tips (restaurants, other sites and places to be careful) were well appreciated. When in town, I would definitely book him again. Thanks Dave, form making our day special.

The Nook of Kells - First make sure read what is included even if the title may refer to a place. I was aware this was a walking tour which included the Book of Kells. The Church and Castle is a walk around with the guide was informative giving the history of each site. There are several interesting stops along the way. We started out early and went through the castle and I would recommend you to do the same. The Kells was amazing and worth the entire tour on its own.

Good city overview. - Book of Kells room was dark and made viewing difficult. Rest of experience was very good. Dublin Castle was viewed from outside as was Christ Church. Tour guide was good and informative but wander off a few times.

dublun highlights - nice but bored guide. Very awesome to see book of kells and Trinity U but so disappointed we only saw Christ Cathedral from the outside. maybe I misread the tour description. I would've booked a separate tour to see Christ Cathedral, but it was late in the day and we're leaving in the morning and tours were not available that time. It was too expensive for what we got
