Ireland · AUDIO TOURS
Every Irish trip has one free day too few. These 5 audio tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Tour Cork City Gaol at your own pace with an audio guide. Walk the West Wing, furnished cells, outer buildings, and perimeter while hearing about prisoners, wardens, governors, and Countess Constance Markievicz. Allow one to two hours, especially if you want time for the grounds and exhibits.
“Very good experience ! Historical place with a dark past Thank you !”
At St. Mary’s Medieval Mile Museum in Kilkenny, use your phone and an English audio guide to explore ancient tombstones, crypts, high crosses, wall paintings, and archaeological finds. The child-friendly version makes this a practical family stop, while the flexible opening hours let you visit without a fixed tour time.
“Excellent museum with some very interesting artifacts. Staff are great and the self guided tour is highly recommended. Archaeological discoveries are fascinating as is the cemetery. Take soon time to talk to staff about other places to see in Kilkenny. Staff will provide you with many suggestions.”
Follow a self-guided audio tour through the Maria Edgeworth Centre, an old 1840 school building in Edgeworthstown. Learn about Maria Edgeworth, her family, Irish literature, hedge schools, and the roots of primary education. Matt and Janine may offer a warm welcome, while portraits, letters, books, and classroom displays add depth. Allow 1 to 1.5 hours.
