Great visit, with...

Excellent visit, with a lot of history and curiosities about the church and about the city of Duhlin. It was worth it.

An excellent visit that one should not miss.

It is always a pleasure to see the cathedrals and churches of a city like this one. Its history and beauty allow us to enjoy the art and appreciate the culture even more.

A worthwhile visit

Had a lovely visit and were so pleased to have gotten to see this place, so beautiful to see with a medieval crypt underground, really recommend! We were grateful to have met helpful staff member Anya who was really helpful and had a great knowledge of the building, she even gave us local tips on the best bus routes to get around faster and hidden gems in the city. If you go, ask for her even if just for directions. 10/10.

Christ Church

The Cathedral was wonderful! It was very interesting and the audio tour was relevant and interesting. Loved the rubbings and great store down in the crypt.

Beautiful cathedral

This is a beautiful cathedral. We did the audio guide, and it was helpful. It's a little hard to find all the spots inside the church; they kind of jump around. The church is amazing and so are all the artifacts.
