Best visit of the trip - Our best visit of the stay. Alan was an amazing guide! We were a group of French people (rather bad in English) but Alan was very clear. We got it all figured out. Meeting Paddy was also very nice!

Fantastic Museum with a great host, Scott! - Scott our guide did an amazing job of showing casing what the museum has to offer! As well he has a lot of detailed information on artists that would not be easily found if you tried yourself. Particularly the Irish influence on music today. Fantastic museum with a great host, Scott!

Highly recommend this tour - The Iriskh Rock N Roll Museum is also a working music venue and recording studio based in the heart of Dublin city centre. Our guide Alan is a walking encyclopedia of Irish Rock N Roll. His stories of spending time with Sinéad O'Connor to the Nirvana gig that sadly never happened was so moving and heartfelt. Standing on the stage of the Button Factory where Rory Gallagher, U2, Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison, David Bowie and many many more icons of the music scene filled me with awe. If your in Dublin you'd be an eejit to miss this great tour.

Like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of Irish Rock'n'Roll. - As each tour guide has their own special stories to tell, I've been there several times. On my recent visit, I joined Alan's tour and was deeply moved by the emotional and touching stories he shared about Sinesd O'Connor and Nirvana. The personal insights he provided made the experience unforgettable. The place isn't just a museum; it's a music studio where bands still rehearse, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the spirit of Rock'n'Roll. Highly recommend!
