Q:
I'm confused about the difference in self guided and guided tours, looks like I can sign up for self guided 14 days in advance but a full tour with guide can't be reserved except on the day of the tour. is that correct? Thanks
A:
Since I stumbled into it, without any planning, so I can't answer your question. Not sure we even had a guided tour option. Sorry to be of no help.
Q:
What time do the tours commence each day? On the website I can only find timeslots for self guided tours
A:
At opening hour. If you don’t have a ticket, go at opening hour and purchase one. You should be able to join the tour then.
Q:
Where is there parking close to Dublin castle? Thanks
A:
Google parking lots near me. We walked and used the Green Hop and Hop Off Bus and walked in town. It's in a commercial area with lots of restaurants so there has to be parking nearby.
Q:
Do we need to buy tickets in advance? Do they actually seel out at the ticket booth?
A:
Hi there, tickets are available to book online but we have tickets available for walk-ins as well. These sell out during the day so the earlier you come in, the more choice you have.
Q:
do you have to go on guided tour to visit undercroft? can you see it on self-guided tour?
A:
Hi Terry, you can only visit the undercroft with the guided tour.
