This tour was very interesting and enjoyable. The history of the prison is incredible. Definitely go early in the day to reserve your tour.

Myself and the wife went here yesterday , we paid and were ushered into the museum to wait , at 11:45 a tour left , we were to be on the 12:00 tour , it got quite hot as around 50 people were waiting to go on the tour. At 12:15 a tour guide came and announced that the 12:15... More

The tour is extremely informative about the history of this jail. The tour guide was exceptional, and the prison itself adds tremendously to the impact of the tour guide's talk. This is probably a very underrated tourist attraction in Dublin, but don't miss it.

This place is very interesting. We did a tour on a Sunday. Sign up for a tour early! We initially went on Saturday and the next available spots were for five hours later, so we went early Sunday instead. Museum is full of interesting exhibits and the tour guide was very knowledgable. The place is eery but if you are... More

Went on this tour and loved it. If you want to know the cost of freedom in human lives, or if you just enjoy history, this is a "must see"

For anyone who is a history buff, Kilmainhan Gaol is a must. Walking through the former prison was a haunting and moving experience. The guided tour begins with a video presentation. The most compelling was the video from the 1916 uprising on what is now O'Connell Street.

Much of its history revolves around the imprisonment and execution of Irish revolutionaries, which is what makes it tough for British ears. However, the prison itself is a fascinating... More

We had heard that the tour of the Kilmainham Gaol was quite popular and that, especially with a group as large as we were, advance planning was not available. This is one of the stops on the Hop on/Hop off bus tour so it was really easy to get to. We made it our first stop in the morning so... More

The Gaol was one of my first our stops on my first day. So glad it was, because after learning all about the Revolution and the men and women who sacrificed themselves, every other place I visited had a deeper meaning. Make this a day 1 stop and go early because the tours book up rather quickly. Only 6 Euro.
