The authentic Irish pub where the conversation is flowing faster than the beer, where the character of the pub is as fascinating as the characters in it, where literature, society, and history eternally live. The best time to start is 7 PM, assuming you've eaten dinner prior to the tour. Bring a pen — you never know what these aged walls will murmur to your thoughts.

Too bad for the rain but the castle is magnificent and the gardens superb in the colors of autumn. The restoration of the Queen's hamlet is stunning. The organization is almost perfect, it lacks more convincing markup for the golf cart ride. All this deserves the sums incurred during the visit. Long live the

trop attente et donc visite du chateau impossible 3h00 de queue

It is worth trying, especially if you have some spare time and want something simple that does not require any special preparation. The staff are young, have a good sense of homour. The atmosphere is welcoming.

Super interesting and nicely done! Unfortunately, I didn't meet Louis XIV personally, but I'm supposed to be very nice. However, I wouldn't feel like mowing the lawn in the garden

This was no doubt the highlight of our trip to Dublin. Despite having our 1 year old twins with us on Strollers we had an awesome time. I would recommend it to everyone

Very good tour! Lots of info and the guide was great!
