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:
I think this is correct, I had the same problem myself. I ended up doing a self guided tour, they give visitors a booklet which I think provided plenty of information
Q:
What time do the tours commence each day? On the website I can only find timeslots for self guided tours
A:
When we visited in October 2022 the first tour was at 10:00 am.
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:
We did not buy in advance and had no problem with lines to buy tickets. There were no crowds in the castle. We went in the early afternoon.
Q:
do you have to go on guided tour to visit undercroft? can you see it on self-guided tour?
A:
you must have a guided tour
