Engaging, fun and informative experience

We loved our tour of the Little Museum! Our guide Lisa was knowledgeable and an exceptional story-teller. We were captivated by her wit and charm and the experience was interesting and so entertaining!

Quirky fun at the Little Museum of Dublin

We had a free morning and wanted a little taste of Irish history, and we came across the Little Museum of Dublin. They promised a quirky little tour, and they did not disappoint! Our group was led by Emma, a real standout, who not only possessed a wealth of knowledge about Irish history, but made it really fun to learn. We learned all the basics, and mixed in were a bunch of quirky, oddball facts that were interesting and kept everyone thoroughly engaged. The collection itself is really unique... I mean a history museum with one whole room dedicated to U2 and Bono? Yes, please! The tour itself was less than an hour, so it's really easy to fit into your day. The Little Museum was such a great (little) find and we would absolutely recommend it!

Great initiation to Dublin

We were only in Dublin for a day and wanted to do something to get to know the city before exploring. Our tour with Pauline was excellent and would highly recommend it to anyone, even if you only have a short amount of time to spend in the city.

Do not miss this tour!

I had been to Dublin once before but hadn’t previously visited this museum. My sister was visiting from the States so I made a full itinerary of visits for us. I saw this museum and thought it sounded interesting, although I wasn’t exactly sure what it was or what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. You essentially go through a walking tour in a historic home with tons of local memorabilia donated by the people of Dublin. It goes through the centuries and decades with items you would never see anywhere else. Our tour guide was Emma. You will be lucky if she is your tour guide! Ask for a time slot that she is doing. You won’t regret it. She is probably the most talented and entertaining tour guide I’ve ever seen. She was funny, smart, knowledgable, could perform characters and accents, and even sing! She should be in the West End! This is the best sightseeing attraction in Dublin. Do not miss it!
