This was a great tour. I recommend it if you are looking to understand more of the history and culture of ireland. We had a student named David for our tour guide. He was fantastic!

Trinity college is definitely worth a visit! Very interesting history, beautiful impressive buildings and grounds. Our guide Ethan knew how to tell its story in a very pleasurable way that kept the group’s attention during the whole tour. We forgot to include a visit to the famous library, but Ethan suggested to ask his colleagues responsible for the tickets and we were able to buy tickets for just the library tour thanks to his advice. :) Wouldn’t have wanted to miss this impressive experience!

I attended the 90min campus only tour. The tour from Johan, a recent graduate, was amazing. I learnt a lot about trinity and its history. Johan made the tour interesting, engaging and welcomed any question from us. Definitely a recommendation for people thinking to join.

Such a great, informative tour led by Joe, who was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We learned so much about the history of the college. Highly recommend this tour (we booked directly through the college) which included a walk through the campus with historical information shared by Joe, followed by entry to see the Book of Kells (self guided).

Emily who is a physic student was a wonderful tour guide as she had first hand knowledge of the workings of trinity college and was full of animation and knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of trinity college because of her.

Our tour guide Emily was very good. She told us alot about the history of the college and also gave us great info about how things have changed (for the better) for students that are catholic and also for women in general as well. Only wish we could have seen more of the interior of the college. Overall it was still a great tour.
