The 14 Best Book of Kells & Trinity Library Tickets

Fast-track Book of Kells at Trinity, Dublin Castle exterior history, and a Molly Malone singalong in about 2.5 guided hours.

“Our tour guide was exellcent, very knowledgable and passionate. However, things I wish I knew before the tour: - No tour guide allowed inside Book of Kells experience and the Dublin Castle. Our guide had to do all the talking before the entrance (which is outdoors and could feel very cold after standing still for >10 min) - St Patrick's Cathedral has organized tour for public for free. You don't necessarily need a tour guide. Same with Book of Kells, there's audio tours available.”

The first half of the tour was a slow walk around the City Centre and medieval Dublin, then we made our way to Trinity College to see the Book of Kells and the famous library there. The tour was well paced and hit many of the big sightseeing points of Dublin. Our guide was a native Dubliner and had so much knowledge and great recommendations for food and drink. Definitely recommend doing this tour!”

“Our particular tour guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable and made the tour quite enjoyable. This is one of those tours where, yes you are seeing the sites but one COULD do that on their own. The tour guide makes or breaks the tour. And we considered ourselves very fortunate to have had Alan lead us through the raindrops (this is Dublin, bring an umbrella!) that day.”
