What Our Guests Say

Real experiences from real visitors

An absolutely incredible experience! Our guide brought the history of Kilmainham to life in a way no guidebook ever could. The stories about the Gaol were both moving and fascinating. I learned more in 2 hours than I did reading for weeks.

We took the sunset tour and it was magical. Walking through the War Memorial Gardens as the sun set was unforgettable. Our guide's knowledge was impressive and her passion contagious.

Best tour we've done in Ireland! The private tour was worth every penny. We learned so much about Irish history and got to see places we would have missed on our own.

As an amateur photographer, the photography tour was perfect. Our guide knew all the best angles and times for lighting. I came away with some of my best travel photos ever.

Brought my students here for a school trip and Kilmainham Tours made it an educational experience they'll never forget. The group tour was perfectly paced and the guide engaged even the most distracted teenagers!

Standing in the same cells where the 1916 leaders were held gave me chills. Seamus's storytelling made history come alive. This isn't just a tour, it's an emotional journey.

Brought my elderly parents on the walking tour and they loved every minute. The pace was perfect, and Aoife was so patient with all our questions. Highly recommend for all ages!

The War Memorial Gardens at golden hour is something I'll never forget. Conor showed us spots even locals don't know about. Worth every minute of the 3-hour tour.

The IMMA portion of the tour was my favorite. Learning about how a 17th-century hospital became a modern art museum was fascinating. Art and history perfectly combined!

My grandfather fought in the War of Independence, so visiting Kilmainham Gaol was deeply personal. The guide handled the emotional aspects with such respect and sensitivity.
