This is a really worthwhile experience for all the family - we took our 3 kids (8,6,5) and we all had a great time. The guide was great and had a mix of personal stories and context facts. Go along - and most of it is indoors so no need to worry about the weather

Six of us went to visit the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship and Famine Musuem, aged 8 to 83! So very interesting for Irish people and foreigners alike. There was a mix of ages and nationalities and all were enthralled by this extremely informative talk - It is obvious the guide has a passion for this and the groups many questions... More

There are just four tours a day, on the hour from 11:00 to 2:00, and our tour was a little delayed, waiting for the previous group to finish. Still, it was worthwhile - the guide knew a lot about the historical times and events surrounding the famine and emigration. The ship itself is a 2/3 size replica of the original,... More

Tour was a bit late to start nothing major, was interesting once we got going but definitely would only go on a voucher. In my opinion its a bit expensive to pay the full amount. It was very a good tour with good tour guide. I would like to go again during summer as I think it would make for... More

I have lived in Dublin all my life and for the last five or six years have walked by the Jeanie Johnston, not realising that you could do a tour of it. It is a fabulous ship even to watch from agar and has entered many tall ships competitions over the years. However the guided tour really brought the Jeanie... More

I bought tickets for this through Living Social for half of the normal price but would happily have paid full price for this. It is a great trip and definately worth taking. It's quite short (so you don't have time to be bored) but you learn so much in that time. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and was not only... More

We visited the Jeanie Johnson last week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guide was excellent and gave a fantastic insight into the history and workings of the ship. Very enjoyable.

We bought this tour through living social for a quarter of the price. It is interesting and the lady that guided us through the tour was very knowledgeable and professional. Pity can't say the same about the organisation that left us staning outside in the cold for 30 mins as they were running ' a bit' late. Tours run every... More

Went to visit Jeanie Johnston couple of weeks ago with the family, it was a very interesting tour, the tour guide was fantastic, he knew everything there was to know about this amazing ship. I felt bit ashamed been a Dub and not visiting it before as it is on our doorstep, was like a tourist for the day. But... More
