A window into Dublin history: a must walking tour. The student guide was eloquent, welcoming, smiling without a moment to utter an "umm."

We had an interesting and very informative tour at Trinity College. Our tour guide James, gave us so much history about the college and the famous students who attended. Lots of behind the scenes information which was well worth the tour.

    Great overview of the college’s history. The guide was very thorough and knowledgeable. It would have been nice to be able to enter more of the buildings.

    Visiting History in a totally historical setting with years and years of history to unfold and enjoy.

    Catherine_B, Nov 2025
    Mainly an outdoor walking trail and today was bitterly cold. Niamh our walking tour guide was like a walking encyclopaedia, so informative and golden nuggets of knowledge about all the history of Trinity College.

    A worthwhile experience.

    Definately worth it, our host was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and the grounds and history are worth the time

    Not enough history

    Harry_S, Aug 2025
    The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable however the history given was rather limited. It felt like I was at a University open day rather than visiting a historical site.
