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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- Sophie K1 contributionInformative and funny. Was able to immediately put our new knowledge to use recognizing statues of relevant figures on our walk back. Shoutout Daryl.Written 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ShipahoyahoyPortsmouth, UK774 contributionsReally enjoyed this museum. A comprehensive telling of Irish emigration and the positive impact of Irish emigration on the rest of the world. Like many others, I made sure I stamped my "passport" at each display. Because I was booked on a tour of the Jeanie Johnston tall ship, just opposite EPIC, I broke my visit into two. So EPIC, Jeanie Johnston, EPIC. That worked really well for me. Found the display of fitting your "Entire life" into a suitcase very poignant. Very good use of visual images to enhance the displays in each section.Written 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BATJToronto26 contributionsThis type of experience is right up my alley, so my review is most likely biased. However, I did cajole my family into coming (including two teenage boys) and everyone agreed it is a tour that should be on everyone's Dublin must-see list. Elizabeth, our guide, was informative, engaging and shared much history about not only the house, and its tenants but also Dublin in general. An incredible treasure located right in the heart of the city!Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FeshtyDublin, Ireland31 contributionsWe had a great visit to St Michan's . We were greeted by Beatrice who was very warm and welcoming. We then started our tour of the church and crypt with our excellent guide Andrew.
It was a very relaxed and informative tour. Andrew not only told the fascinating history of the church and crypts, but also gave us information on how the church, and it's parishioners played a role in various stages of Ireland's history.
St Michan's is well worth a visit.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed it more than visiting trinity library because we had much more time and an up front and personal visit!Written 25 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dreamer099373619765 contributionsAbsolutely beautiful Castle off the beaten path beside a School in Dublin. A true hidden gem. After purchasing tickets we were free to explore the castle and garden area. Gerben was readily available to answer questions and tell us about the history of the castle which made it even better.Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 466MeeDublin, Ireland3 contributionsThis is an absolute hidden gem and I'd highly recommend visiting it. Liam was superb, he really knew his stuff and had fascinating information and stories. I particularly loved seeing and hearing about the Wharfedale and the 1916 Proclamation. I'll never look at it the same way again!!Written 23 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NisrinetteIle-de-France, France644 contributionsTake your time to be amazed by the crafted details. The explanation by the guide is amazing and clear. When done with the guide, do another tour alone and enjoyWritten 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- md1mmSheffield, UK1,637 contributionsThese gardens are incredibly central but hidden and you will not come across them by chance. They are relatively small but well kept and attractive. There is a nice waterfall. If you want a quiet place after walking around central Dublin, get a coffee from the van near the entrance and head for the gardens.Written 6 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Margaret R2 contributionsA terrific exhibition! Go see it!
I happened to notice a guy on the street outside a shopping centre in Grafton St with a placard advertising it. Very glad I did.
The exhibition is informative, easy to navigate, well curated and supported with excellent research and visual documentation.
It covers it all.
I’m an Australian and only exist because a family from County Clare managed to get on a boat and emigrate because of the potato famine. It’s a dark period in Irish history which affected so many other countries long into the future.
Well done and thank you for such an informative experience.Written 23 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
