Don’t skip this tour and definitely visit the museum! We weren’t able to do a jail tour as we didn’t get tickets in advance. It was right across the street from our hotel so we just popped in hoping to catch a tour. We were able to go to the museum and it was very interesting! One of the men working in the museum side, got a small group of us together that weren’t able to get tickets and allowed us to go in and quickly see/take pics of the new part of the jail as well as an old cell, which was really amazing of them to do for us! He told us a good deal about the jail as well!

Really great visit to such a unique and educational place. Had an amazing tour guide Anthony who was exceptional at telling the story of Kilmainham and making it such a rememberable visit. Sorry we had to leave the tour early Anthony you were great!

We (Myself and My Partner) went to visit Kilmainham as part of our annual trip to Dublin. If you’re in Dublin and have the time/ are looking for something to do definitely give the gaol a visit. We were very lucky to have Harry as our tour guide. Harry is a lovely gent who is full of knowledge and very welcoming of questions. Could have asked for a better tour guide. Thanks Harry.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was very interesting to see how the prisoners lived and how the jail ran. Our tour guide Anthony was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate and ensured we learnt a lot about not only the history of the prison, but also important parts of Irish history as a whole. Would highly recommend visiting.

Probably the best guided tour I’ve ever been on. Fascinating place. Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide brought history to life. Would definitely recommend a visit. A real eye opener.

The approx. 1 hour tour at Kilmainham Gaol was super interesting and very easy going. You’ll be able to see and walk trough all the important parts of the building while getting a short but throughout introduction to the Irish history. David, our guide, was fantastic ! If you’re interested in getting into Ireland‘s history this is a tour for you !

Well worth a visit to gain an insight into Irish history and prison reform (or lack of !) over the years! The tour is guided. Ellen was amazing. Sadly the museum was closed but still worth a trip.

This was my favorite tour! I’m so glad I didn’t skip this. The tour guide gave a great presentation of the jail and it’s history. To see this place from its beginnings all the way to its present day state was so moving. If you go in winter I highly recommend you dress for it you will be outside in a lot of parts of the tour and there may be chill wind-at least I hope it was…. Either way, bundle up. This was 10/10 for me.

The site is incredibly well kept, and the entrance ticket is definitely worth a tour. Personnel is adorable and patient even when you forget your ears at home like I did. Guide Anthony was so passionate and thorough I simply couldn't stop listening and seriously considered going another round. I left with tears in my eyes and with much more knowledge than I had going in. Definitely go!

Visited on December 2022 (14th), it's a place to visit to know part of the Irish history. Loved the tour, the guide gave us all the information needed to understand what happened in this place. The tour is only in English but you can scan QR codes for different languages, if needed. Part of the visit is outside, so if you visit it in winter, be sure to wear warm clothes.
