Best Experience in Dublin! - This was my favourite activity we did in Dublin! It was so informative whilst also being fun and super enjoyable. Alan was our tour guide and he was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We were also lucky enough to see a spontaneous jam session by Luke and the drummer of Emily 7 (i forget his name, sorry) which was amazing, both super talented. Overall i would recommend this tour to everyone!

The best music tour with un stories - It was one of the best music tours I have been. Alan, our tour guide is a music walking encyclopedia. He is so knowledgeable and he is so personable. We heard so many great stories of various Irish artists who have been there to record music or American artists that have come to Ireland. At the end of the tour, he actually had a couple of musicians do a quick show for us drums and an electric guitar. It was absolutely lovely. Thank you Alan.

Kind of a let down - This isn't really a "museum." It's an active recording studio where a lot of very cool artists have worked and continue to work that has some memorabilia. Our guide was great and he had some fun anecdotes, but you don't really get to learn a lot about any artist in particular. You walk around 4ish rooms and look at pictures, posters, and albums that have been made in the studio. They have a practice room where you can take pictures pretending to be in a band, which might be fun for kids, but I was really hoping to learn more about these amazing artists and Ireland's history of producing killer bands.
