Full description

A licensed guide leads this walk through the historic core of Dublin, passing the exterior of Dublin Castle, the Temple Bar district and the city's cathedrals, including Christ Church. The three-hour version adds admission to the Book of Kells, while a shorter, cheaper option covers exterior sights only, so check which one you are booking.

Reviewers consistently praise the guides for their historical knowledge and storytelling, and the group-friendly pace suits a first orientation to the city centre.
