We were lucky to have Noel as our guide for this tour.
Noel gave us a brief history of the Book of Kells prior to entering the building.
The Book of Kells and the long Library are an amazing thing to see and experience.
Next we did a brief history walking tour ending at the Dublin Castle.
This is a must tour to do if you are in Dublin!

Great comprehensive tour
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Pointed out a lot of interesting sites too bad the library at Book of Kells is undergoing a cleaning that means most books are off the shelves but that is out of anyone’s control.

Great tour with Noel

So much more! Loved the history of Ireland
Kevin was filled with knowledge and we learned additional Ireland history from him. We loved Kevin, great guide. We loved walking through the city to the set points. They are fire
Proofing about 1/2 of the books in the library. Dublin castle is actually closed so we didn’t get to see it but loved the tour. Suggestion to wear comfortable shoes and clothes as you are on your feet moving for the 2.5 hours.

Book of Kells
We were not able to see the grounds of Dublin Castle although it was listed as a site to see. Tour company did not try to accomodate us seeing something else.

Variety is the spice of life
Loved the bonus learning about Mollie and the Dublin castle. Book of Kells is simply a must and our guide Janet was simply lovely in the telling of all.

Best commentary and insights on any tour I have taken; our guide Edward M. was outstanding. He was engaging and provided us with great understanding of what we were seeing. Highly recommend Edward and this tour. Although the tour itself was pricey; so worth the investment.
