You can get an audio self-guided tour or you can go with a guide. Our guide was brilliant. She was knowledgeable and amusing. I would not skip a tour with her as we learned so much. more than l expected and enjoyed the visit.

Very educational and enlightening experience. A must visit when in Dublin. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to sit and reflect and mediate within the cathedral. Loved hearing the choir singing live while visiting.

    Very beautiful church and had a nice free 40-minute tour that gave us a lot of information on the church.

    Recordings are excellent!...

    Kathleen_W, Sep 2026
    Recordings are excellent! Beautiful architecture. Glass windows have Ben cleaned and are beautiful. !

    St. Patrick's Church was a nice history session of Ireland.

    Richard_O, Sep 2026
    Nice older church. A lot of Irish history. Not use to seeing a large gift shop in a church, but it is a revenue stream as is the price to enter the church.

    Beautiful Cathedral.

    Marie_S, Sep 2026
    Must see. Leave enough time as there are always lots of people and there is much to see. Also, there are places for quiet meditation but they fill up. So plan accordingly.

    Beautiful Cathedral

    THOMAS_K, Sep 2026
    Beautiful Cathedral. Right in the middle of the city. Everything you would want to see and learn about in an historic church.

    What a historic church....

    Ara_D, Aug 2026
    What a historic church. It was great that they provided audio guides that helped us learn about the history of this magnificent cathedral.

    Amazing place to visit and a great experience. So much history and great stories. You might want to get the two-day pass with the cruise!

    St. Patrick's Cathedral

    Margarita_S, Aug 2026
    The cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I would recommend at least 2 hours to see everything and be able to light a candle and pray.

    Great self-guided tour with audio device. Beautiful area. Definitely check out the large garden area.

    Beautiful church

    Kerry_E, Jun 2026
    Go early, it gets crowded. You can get a self guided audio tour to tell you about the church. The church is beautiful, lots of great pictures. This doesn’t take a long time so nice to go when you don’t have tons of plans. We were able to attend a Eucharist as well which I found very special.

    Lovely tour

    Lisa_Y, Jun 2026
    Beautiful Cathedral with a wonderful tour. Self guided audio is fantastic. Staff was very friendly and informational. Highly recommend.

    First thing you see when...

    Larry_S, Jun 2026
    First thing you see when entering the cathedral is "money changers," a gift shop, right inside the front doors. Detracted from the whole experience. Too crowded, with several large tour groups inside the cathedral all at once, made maneuvering inside very difficult.

    Easy Booking with ZERO Issues!

    Craig_R, Jun 2026
    Great experience. Easy booking with no issues. The tour itself was a self guided tour and it was very well narrated.

    Christina_A, Jun 2026
    Audio guide is included. It was fairly crowded when we visited, but it was mildly interesting. The Boyle family memorial was a surprising delight.

    Beautiful Cathedral

    Stephanie_H, May 2026
    Beautiful cathedral. Quite a bit of history. It’s very interesting. It’s self guided and they provide the listening device. Worth going.

    Loved the cathedral for...

    Maria_M, May 2026
    Loved the cathedral for its stunning Gothic architecture. "Beautiful place, the architecture is impressive."

    A lot of history

    BFH, May 2026
    Nice to see an old church, pretty windows and easy to walk around . Need 30 minutes to an hour to have the experience

    St Patrick's Church

    Tammie_S, May 2026
    Very disappointed in this church. It was not kept up and it seemed like they had a bunch of junk in there but they were storing that people donated just to have their name on it. It just wasn't as grand as I was hoping for. Did not spend a lot of time walking through.

    This tour is a fraud. Do not purchase.

    Lynsey_W, Apr 2026
    I purchased a family ticket for Good Friday. I asked twice prior to arrival whether the cathedral was open for tours. No one ever answered me. I later received a cancellation notice but have not received a refund well over a week later. Buyers beware. Book this tour elsewhere.

    The stained glass windows...

    Michelle_P, Apr 2026
    The stained glass windows are magnificent. The history and ambience is magical. A must see when visiting Dublin.

    Excellent tour with...

    Heather_L, Apr 2026
    Excellent tour with explanations via the audio guide. There are several languages available. We walked around the cathedral at our own pace learning about the history and many events which have taken place here. Well worth the visit!

    St Patrick Cathedral

    Rita_B, Feb 2026
    We did a self guided tour. It was easy to manoeuvre with the audio. Wish I could have done a mass. Lots of information
