Definitely add the Trinity Trails to the Book of Kells Experience. - Great tour,gives a great history of the college and offers up bits and pieces of trivia along the way. The guide, Orla, was so friendly and made it a point to make everyone feel so comfortable. She made it a point to speak to everyone on the tour personally. I loved the musuem building inside and out.

Walking Tour & Book of Kells - This tour was great. I enjoyed that the tour was hosted by Trinity Students. The history of the college and the fun stories about some of the famous attendees made the tour even more enjoyable. It ends at the location where you can view the Book of Kells.

A MUST-DO Tour Before the Book of Kells Experience! - What a wonderful and informational tour! Highly recommended before the Book of Kells experience. Our tour guide was Ava and she was so lovely! She had so many great stories as we toured the most famous and important building and locations on campus - especially about her superstition of the Bell Tower (Campanile) and how students desperately avoid standing under it's random tolls for fear of being academically cursed! Her love of her school and the Irish culture (e.g. the Cranberries concert on campus after being honored) was strong and felt throughout!
