    The guide gave us lots of interesting facts and the odd local joke. The Trinity library is really impressive.

    It can be enjoyed from the very centre of Dublin, without having to travel far. I recommend booking in advance.

    A very complete tour, although I was left wanting more time in the cathedral. Still, I enjoyed it very much.
