PRESS PLAY · DUBLIN AUDIO TOURS
The 4 best dublin audio tours you can book today, with what each costs, how long the commentary runs and who it suits. Number one is first for a reason; start there.
Enter Christ Church Cathedral for a self-guided look at Dublin’s nave and crypt. Admire medieval tiles, stained glass, relics, the Magna Carta, and the famous mummified cat and rat known as Tom and Jerry. Audio commentary is available in seven languages, subject to availability.
“The church is well worth a look around the architecture and stained glass windows are amazing 👍”
Follow a private, app-led mystery walk through central Dublin, from the National Museum to the River Liffey. Audio stories, local history, and clue-solving lead you past St. Ann’s Church, Olympia Theatre, City Hall, and the Wolfe Tone statue. Start anytime, pause freely, and play in English.
“A friend and I decided on a whim to complete the challenges. Was challenging enough to keep our attention! We did the game at night so safety was a concern, but not an issue. As advice; after you're done, make sure you know how to get back to your place of stay, and take the main roads back.”
You and your private group follow an ancient treasure map through central Dublin, solving puzzles at landmarks, pubs, and the Garda station on Kevin Street. The game is self-guided, played in English by mobile ticket, and returns to The Clockwork Door in Temple Bar.
“This was my husband’s 60th birthday treat. Had a wonderful time at Trinity College and a lovely lunch. This was booked for the afternoon. I was so disappointed.”
Use the TouringBee app to follow a self-guided Dublin route from Merrion Square through St. Stephen’s Green, Trinity College, Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, and medieval churches. You get 23 English audio recordings, offline maps, landmark images, and one year of access, but must bring your own phone and headphones.
“You have to download the Touring Bee app first!!! I’m from the US and I could not join the tour without downloading this app first. Once I navigated the entire system, which took about 30 minutes, the tour was great. Very informative about each stop on the walking route. Very entertaining as well. I loved it once the initial frustration of actually getting into the tour subsided. I would recommend this to other people. So many times we walk around historic cities and don’t get to fully understand the things we are seeing and this is a great way to learn. I will be trying it in other cities around…”
