Review of Dublin’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Molly Malone, and Book of Kells tour, with practical tips on value, walking, and timing.

“We had a terrific time on our tour! Fergus, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and in addition to having fun, I learned a lot. Fergus went above and beyond, stopping at interesting places along the way that felt like bonus content, such as the Molly Malone statue. He even offered to take us around to see some of the Christmas lights after the formal tour had ended. There were several young women on the tour and he made sure everyone got to a cab or to their next destination safely. It was a great experience and one I highly recommend to others.”

“This is a great tour to learn more about Ireland and Dublin, in general. Our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Once he learned about everyone's interests, he would give extra information on the specific interests of each person. The group was small, so it felt more personal. I highly recommend.”

“Teamed up in a small group with a wonderful guide! We were led by an especially knowlegeable person through the history, impact of power politics and religion, and the human elements that shaped medieval Dublin. If you want more than just buildings and sights, this is for you! I also have to admit my difficulty getting to the meeting point and receiving superior assistance from Viator support and our guide. The excellent staff and guide at Viator made the whole experience a memorable one!”
