This is a popular destination, and it's a very well-done tour (you can't tour on your own). While you wait for your tour to start, there's a well-done museum to browse around in, which you can go back to afterwards. The tour takes about an hour, and the guides are friendly and knowledgeable. I would have given more stars if... More

When in Dublin make it a point to visit Kilmainham Gaol. You'll be surprised how much history from Ireland you'll learn in this 1 hour tour. It can be shocking and very sad, but we cannot run from history, from past. By visiting Kilmainham, the resident and the tourist alike can understand and empathise with Irish people in many respects.... More

The tour is extremely informative about the history of this jail. The tour guide was exceptional, and the prison itself adds tremendously to the impact of the tour guide's talk. This is probably a very underrated tourist attraction in Dublin, but don't miss it.

This place is very interesting. We did a tour on a Sunday. Sign up for a tour early! We initially went on Saturday and the next available spots were for five hours later, so we went early Sunday instead. Museum is full of interesting exhibits and the tour guide was very knowledgable. The place is eery but if you are... More
