This package comes with a 1-hour return transportation service and a 4-hour expedition which includes a guided walk around Dublin’s Old Town, the Books of Kells, Old Library and Christ Church Cathedral.

  • Private car transfers with pickup and drop-off at your accommodation
  • Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option. Private car transfers and tickets to the Christ Church Cathedral are not included in the 2-hour option.
  • The Old Library and Books of Kells exhibition are best enjoyed in silence, so the guide will provide all information outside. Skip-the-line tickets are reserved for a specific time slot, so you will avoid waiting in line.
  • Skip-the-line tickets to Christ Church Cathedral allow you to get in faster without queuing at the ticket office. Admission includes the Cathedral and Crypts. Guided tours inside the churches during mass and special events are limited.
  • The 3- and 4-hour options include an estimated 1-hour round-trip transfer between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and can take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic.
  • We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van or minibus for groups of 5 people and more. If you’re traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
  • 2-hour tour: For the convenience of all guests, it is best to have 1 licensed guide per maximum of 25 guests, so that all guests can get the best experience, ask questions and hear the guide well. The price will be higher if you need more than 1 guide.
  • 4-hour tour: due to the cathedral’s rules, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-20 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide.

Wonderful private tour! - While the Book of Kells self-guided tour was good, it was a bit disappointing, perhaps because of my expectations. There were too many people at one time, making it difficult to thoroughly read and digest displays. I had also expected to see more of the Book itself, though I now see that that isn't possible without destroying it. However, we loved our guide, Ben, who then took us on a walking tour of the area surrounding the Temple College campus. He was very knowledgeable, answering all of the questions my group threw at him and providing interesting history and facts. Thank you, Ben! You made our day!!
