I highly recommend a visit!

Today we took a guided tour of Christ Church Cathedral and the experience was excellent. Our guide, Kelly, converted the group exceptionally well. She demonstrated a great knowledge of the cathedral's history and managed to make the visit very informative while also being light and fun. It was a real pleasure to learn from her. Congratulations to Kelly and the entire church team for the excellent work and the warm welcome. I highly recommend a visit!

Very cool

Loads of cool things to see in the crypt, with a nice gift shop also. Staff really helpful, I met Katrina and Anya who made me feel very welcome and answer all my questions. I hope they are treated well. Good place to visit for tourists.

Fine

The audio tour is fine, but I think a more personal guided experience would be beneficial in a place like this. I enjoyed the visit, but I feel as if I missed a lot touring this way.

Worthy Inclusion

Excellent stop. Spiritually enriching, historically intriguing and just plain beautiful. I recommend its inclusion on your itinerary. The self guided tour really was both informative and engaging. There was a lot of information to digest. But it was served up in easily digestible portions. I particularly got a kick out the cathedral battle between Dublin beer and whisky companies. Oh and amazingly strong gift shop game. Might be one of the best I saw in the entire county…and I saw a lot of gift shops.
