Reviews
"Last fall we were in Dublin for a wedding and found Dalkey Castle while searching for 'old stuff' on the map. The drive from the city along the water and then visiting Dalkey Castle was a real highlight of the trip to Ireland for us. We loved the castle, we loved the Heritage Center, but especially we loved the actors. I'm kind of bummed I forgot to buy toy weapons in the gift shop... maybe next time :) Dalkey Castle is fantastic and we can’t wait to visit again."
"Carol and Rupert were great entertainers! A really wonderful tour overall. Me and my travel companion learned quite a lot! I would definitely recommend it as well worth your money."
"Well worth a visit, very interesting tour with actors on the way around. Beware of the archer in the church"
"Well set up for tourists. Small castle but friendly staff and interesting tour. Worth a stop."
"Fun tour with amazing period actors. We really enjoyed the interaction. Beautiful little Irish town and easily accessible by the Dart train from Dublin."
