Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Book of Kells Experience at Trinity College Dublin offers a captivating journey into Ireland’s rich medieval heritage. The exhibition provides insightful context about the manuscript’s creation and significance, enhancing appreciation for its intricate artistry. Following the exhibit, visitors are treated to the awe-inspiring Long Room, a historic library hall lined with ancient texts and busts of renowned scholars. The combination of the detailed exhibition and the grandeur of the Long Room makes this experience a must-see for those interested in history, art, and culture.

    My husband and I paired our library tour ticket with the nearby St. Patrick's Cathedral. I preferred this library to the overly touristy Book of Kells. This library also has old books, but waaaayyy less people. The signs were big and easy to read. You're also allowed to check the books out.

    Great spot for a rainy day. The Yeats exhibit was especially good. Friendly helpful staff. Central location so accessed easily by foot.

    The Customs House stands proud over the Quayside of the River Liffey. Dating to 1791, the Customs House represented the British domination of the Irish through taxation. The IRA burned the building in 1921 in order to destroy tax records. This magnificent classical architecture was completely restored after the revolution. Today, the building houses the Irish Department of Environment, Heritage, and Local Government.

    A Visitor Center with a historical audio tour is available for a fee. I opted to enjoy the exterior. Very impressive.

    Enjoy!

    This official visitor center was great. All the "paper" you would need to go to any part of Ireland, and, of course, Dublin "stuff."

    Abby, who was working the desk there was extremely helpful!

    I wanted to add a positive review about the genealogy services and to counter some of the negative comments I've seen about what they offer.

    I'm an amateur who has been continuing my great-grandmother's research into my family's genealogy for almost 10 years. Our Irish ancestors have been the most difficult to track down and verify, so my mom and I were thrilled to find this service before traveling to Ireland. I was a little nervous about the price after reading some of these negative reviews, but I'd like to say that the session was incredibly worth it, and we're glad we paid for 80 minutes. We opted for a zoom session.

    I’ve seen other visitors complain about the center 'simply sitting you down in front of Ancestry' or searching certain family history websites. The thing is, these websites aren’t just research tools for laymen, they are databases that contain many vital records that experts know how to navigate better than the average enthusiast.

    Our session did begin with our genealogist searching ancestry but it went so far beyond that. The genealogist we spoke with introduced us to additional resources I wouldn't have found on my own, with access to a variety of Irish records. She expertly cross-checked between multiple sources and was a wealth of knowledge on what records to specifically search for, based on when Ireland started recording births as well as baptisms, whether certain records were known to be destroyed, and so on. She also provided a very clear list of next steps we could take to try and discover more with the data we currently have. She emailed every single resource, link, and screenshots of any potentially helpful information she found, and made sure we knew where to go from there. She genuinely seemed to care.

    She was able to decipher a mother's Irish surname we've been puzzling over for decades, that ended up being very rare. She was able to confirm that our family surnames were, indeed, common in the county we believed our immigrant ancestor came from. She was able to tell us which parish they likely belonged to. And, she told us where we could upload our ancestry DNA information to potentially find more matches in Ireland (and sent instructions)!

    I’ve also seen other visitors complain that sessions felt like a ‘rip off’ because the genealogists weren’t able to help them. If you are looking into this experience expecting a guarantee, rather than support from an expert to enhance your chances of finding more information, then maybe you should forego genealogy services, because that’s not how they work.

    It's important to know going in that if you don't have your ancestors' approximate birthdays and parents' names, they probably can't do much for you; research can only go so far. That isn’t the center’s fault, it’s the nature of genealogy. We came to the session with that information for one ancestor, but also another for whom we only knew the birth year and a potential mother's name. Our genealogist spent a lot of time on both and genuinely seemed to want to get concrete information for us. I really appreciated the thoroughness.

    Yes, the session essentially consists of a genealogist searching records for you, but they have so much historical and practical expertise to search and cross-check in ways that the layman can't. We really enjoyed learning from her and even though our lack of surviving records meant we weren't able to make any huge discoveries, I learned so much that I can apply to my family history work moving forward. I'm excited to see if the next steps she gave us lead to anything new!!

    Attended a convention here. Well-laid out. Mine facilities. Convenient location. Some areas were closed off when I attended so I couldn't access the top floors, but the center has a nice view of the city and outside it's beautifully lit at night.

    We spent 3-4 hours going through this campus. We were able to walk from our hotel and it was very scenic. The library was going through some updates so everything was not visible but it was definitely a very impressive example of history. We would recommend if in the area.

    As title says when I visited here to get information on all I could about tours, guides, where to visit etc in this lovely city they were very helpful and informative about where I should go, how to get there and what to do once there. I did know a few things as looked at the good old internet before I went but was lovely to get more information from local people.

    A nice and free little exhibit that had some interesting photos and was a welcome respite from the rain. Pretty small and won’t take very long to see everything. There was a super cute little market right outside on the morning that we went and we got some great coffee and some of the best sausage rolls ever.

    In all the years of visiting Dublin and walking in Pheonix park we never knew this centre was here. We took the 99 bus near Houston station which does a circular run up the park to the centre and back. The centre is free and informative. There's a lift to the upper floor and toilets in the cafe next door.

    I was very impressed with the spacious "feel" of this facility. The layout was easy to follow and the views out were spectacular.

    A fantastic independent bookstore right in the center of Dublin, on Temple Bar Street ! As a graphic designer, it's such a joy to find so many international, local, and national titles. For a French visitor, it was a nice collection of keepsakes I could get ! The person at the counter was really friendly, and I’ll definitely order from their online shop. A must-visit for anyone curious :)

    See you soon, and thanks again !

    Great walk 'n talk tour of Dublin's fascinating Dockland area by this company. Tour guide (Joseph) very friendly and an absolute mine of information - he went from history, engineering, geography, to leprosy and stories about the people who shaped this part of Dublin. All very interesting and great value for money - nearly 2 hours of non-stop talking!

    We went to see a play there last week called 48. It was about the Stardust. Play was very good, sad and funny. Staff were brilliant and so helpful. Will definitely be back
