Best tour of our entire day - We did the guided tour and Tom our guide was very funny and entertaining. Our group had about 10 people and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly.

Great exhibits, don't forget the underground floor! - Can't believe this church is almost 1000 years old. It was established in 1030, making it one of the city's oldest structures. The interior layout was well-designed and we were able to explore the downstairs area where there is a gift shop included. Don't forget to visit the attraction next door, linked by a bridge, Dublinia!

Lovely sacred place with deep history - we did the self guided tour. It is a gorgeous church. We did the audio tour. Lots to learn from a history perspective. They have a fun little scavenger hunt for the kids which my 6 year old daughter enjoyed. The alter is beautiful and so are the stained glass windows. Also really enjoyed the history in the crypts.

Sit in this sacred space for a moment. - A lovely experience. We are people of faith and did not travel with a tour group. We opted for attending a service, avoiding the ticket fee. The prayers for peace by the priest was a stand out moment of the week for me. Beautiful history. Lovely gift shop. Breathtaking building.

A must-see in Dublin. - Very beautiful building whose history has been marked by very varied uses of the place. The tiles of the nave are remarkable. Originality for this type of place, presence of a costume cabinet:) Visit to do without hesitation. Audio guide available in multiple languages, on a purported device or smartphone.

Recommended - Beautiful church with rich history. Very nice floor as well as stained glass. Special that it was very noisy in this church, remains a church and not a cafe in my opinion.

Guided tour a must! - Had a guided tour of the cathedral and crypt. I have passed by the cathedral so many times when in Dublin and never realised its history. Thanks to wonderful guide Dì, I learned so much in the hour long tour. Please opt for the guided tour if possible- they bring the story alive - so knowledgeable!! Put a visit on your 'to do list' when next in Dublin! Great value.

Dublin Initial Church - Very nice church, audio guide included in the entrance ticket more provided than just the leaflet, welcoming and attentive staff Wheelchair accessible but you have to ask for the ramp to enter and to access the crypt you go around from outside but at least you see everything and it's worth it
