This unique tour uses Ireland’s artistic and literary wealth to explain the historical moments, traditions, wars, movements, and eras that have sculpted Ireland through the centuries.
We’ll explore the highlights of the National Gallery, National Library and National Museum, with a break half-way through.
Consider those great cultural and artistic treasures that represent your country’s history. For the USA, it is paintings like ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware’ and ‘American Gothic’ by Grant Wood, original manuscripts of Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, and objects full of cultural symbolism like The Liberty Bell.
This tour will show you their Irish equivalents:
- Symbolic paintings representing the Norman Conquest of Ireland and the Irish Civil War;
- Insight into the life and works of W.B. Yeats - Ireland’s Greatest Poet;
- The Tara Brooch and the Ardagh Chalice – treasures that epitomise Ireland’s Golden Age (500-800AD).

5.00We had one day in Dublin and were lucky to find John Caffrey as a tour guide. We might have wandered aimlessly through three fantastic museums, but John was able to focus on select features of each, providing fascinating context and history to the exhibits we were interested in. It was by no means a “canned” tour, and John was very flexible and generous with his knowledge and time. We learned more in four hours with John than two weeks traveling through Ireland! Easily the best “bang for your buck.” My only regret is that we didn’t have the time for his other tour offerings!
Great Day of History & Art!

5.00John Caffrey gave us an amazing afternoon out at two extraordinary museums. My wife and I were blown away with how knowledgeable John was along with his passion for Irish history. We loved looking over various art pieces with him at the National Gallery as well where he frequently provided fantastic context for the paintings. We cannot recommend this tour enough!!
We enjoyed Dublin because of Austin!

4.00Austin knows Dublin inside out and was a good storyteller, but some of his stories rambled. He did take us to additional areas at our request—we did have to walk back to our hotel after the tour though.
The Treasures of Ireland

5.00I have used Dublin Tour Guide-Private tours previously on trips to Ireland. This time I booked a private Tour of Dublin Museums: Treasures of Ireland . John Caffrey was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about all the museums and Irish treasures we saw. He is very passionate about the history of Ireland and told us the most amazing stories about the different pieces of artwork as they related to Irish history. Thank you again John for a wonderful day and thank you to Dublin Tour Guide for setting up this tour for our small group. Kathy and Greg.
Austin Rocks!!!
