The tour takes approximately 50 minutes and is led by one of our knowledgeable guides. The tour begins with a walk around the upper deck, where you will see the majestic masts, admire the craftsmanship and learn about the ship’s history. Step on board and you will be transported back in time to join them on their gruelling journey. Our guide was brilliant, his stories were very interesting and cognitively even for younger audiences. Highlights of the Tour: • Learn how the Famine forced millions to flee the country • Retrace their gruelling journey • Experience what life was like on board • Uncover fascinating personal passenger stories • Award-winning tour guides • Meticulous craftsmanship • Marvel at the beautiful tall ship Nearby is the poignant Famine Memorial by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie.

Pre-booked our tickets along with the admission to the EPIC, great experience getting to know the histories of Ireland. Just a small suggestion that the guide should probably wears a small microphone 🎤 especially out on the deck in a windy day and open space. Was having a bit of trouble hearing the whole thing at the beginning of the tour when we were out on the deck outside the ship but I could tell the lady we had was really trying her best!

The story of Jeanie Johnston is miracle. Thanks for the humanitarian captain, doctor, and ship owner, no one died on the ship during the many voyages carrying Irish people to north America in the Great Famine time. I purchased the bundled ticket with EPIC museum together. The 50 min tour is definitely out of my expectation.

Great experience! Highly recommended. In the one hour, I learnt so much. The tour guide was great! She was welcoming, charming, and informative. Not just a ship, but great way to get an understanding of Irish history.

Worth the stop! We had a great guide. This is a replica ship but it’s so well done they could’ve lied to me about it. It was a great experience.

Wonderful time on the Jeanie Johnston with Gerry this weekend. Fascinating history of the ship and the famine. Kids loved every second. Highly recommend this tour

It was amazing, if you love history you cannot miss this place, never seen a guide as passionate as him, Garoge was amazing and wish to have stayed my wife and I to talk more for he have so much knowledge and made a complex history look accessible to all. I strongly recommend don't miss it you would regret it.

I really like how the tourist guide provides the information and tells the history of this ship. The tourist guide is very knowledgeable, and she always made sure that everyone heard what she was explaining. The ship itself is very amazing, and I'm glad that I visit this ship as part of my sightseeing.

Incredibly interesting tour. The tour guide, Gearoid, was amazing, the way he told the history of the boat and Irish famine story was really informative and engaging, this is a must-do attraction when in Dublin!

Absolute must-do on your trip to Dublin! Great Tour by our guide Steve! Very interesting infos about Dublin, the famine & the Jeannie Johnston. A 50-minute tour which at no point gets boring. Great experience!!!

Fabulous visit. Great guide who told moving stories.

A replica of a famous boat used by immigrants to leave the country in dire times. The tour is an interesting way to see how those trips were made from the eyes of a passenger, and the conditions they were facing. The tour guide not only is funny and very animated, but he adds a lot of immersion to the experience. I recommend this tour of you're curious as the conditions the immigrants were against, and some history.

I liked the boat and that we could wander around it at leisure! Guide was quite informative, but slightly wooden and obviously had rehearsed his script. He was willing to answer questions and this was when he was better. Fascinating story of how badly the Irish were treated and how this ship helped some of them.

Visited during a freezing rainy gale.. It was a great chance to see what it would be like on deck at sea in a storm.. albeit we were in 21st Century kit! The Jeanie Johnston is Fantastic It is such a fantastic story and our guide was brilliant. The boat is amazing especially below deck, you really get a sense of what it was like. The end of the story is truly awe inspiring BUT you will have to visit for yourself to find out what happened. The ticket gives access to Epic The museum which is truly EPIC a real view of Irish history but in a modern digital immersive set of displays. This was deinately a highlight of our trip to Dublin and we certainly recommend it goes on your itinerary

The Jeanie Johnston shows you how people during the famine travelled. The ship is a replica the original sank in 1855. My tour guide was called Katrina she's an amazing story teller and full of information about the ship

I cannot recommend this highly enough. It was well worth the price of admission. The tour guide was fantastic with a real passion for the story he was telling. The experience really helped me to understand the situation of those fleeing the famine and the conditions they experienced. It was easy for me to feel like I was being given a glimpse back into my ancestors lives. I would have appreciated more time to explore and take photographs but I understand the need to keep people together for their own safety. Caution: there are steep stairways and a number of trip hazards. Watch your step and listen to instructions. Enjoy.

We had a fantastic tour around the Jeanie Johnston which is a replica of a three masted barque that was originally built in Quebec, Canada, in 1847 by the Scottish-born shipbuilder John Munn. The replica Jeanie Johnston performs a number of functions: an ocean-going sail training vessel at sea and in port converts into a living history museum on 19th century emigration and, in the evenings, is used as a corporate event venue.

Would definitely say that it was my best museum in Dublin. We had a wonderful guide, explaining well and engaging. He was able to answer every question we had and the story about this boat was wonderfully related. For foreigners that are not English speakers it can be a little bit hard but I was with a friend from France and she could get everything so we both had an amazing journey on board!

The attraction is closed over the winter period and not surprising with the ice and cold we have had the past few days. The replica Ship still looked Good moored on the River side. Im sure its a worth while attraction during the summer months to learn some of the past history of the Irish nation and what they endured.

Buy a "Dublin Pass"! (solely available online) Might not seem overly appealing, but worth the visit for the historic story(ies) about the ship that has the honourable reputation of NEVER having lost a single life during it's voyages bringing immigrants from Ireland to the USA. Besides the ship's legacy, the passionate guides will revel you of tales of Irish immigrants in the USA along with the actual common conditions of migriting to USA from Ireland during the famine of the 19th century in Ireland/Europe. Enjoy the story of Margaret Riley's son -Nicholes Johnston Riley- who was borne on the ship and was named after the entire crew, along with him making the American Dream.

Excellent. I really loved this 50 minutes tour. So interesting to learn the story of this little ship and its passengers. Our guide Owen was just amazing, such a good story teller. His passion and enthusiasm made the tour even more interesting. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour, the ship is amazing and the guide was very engaging and knowledgable. Making it a wonderful experience.

I went to see an imitation of this famous ship from the 19th century in September 2014 and it was my first time to visit it. It's a fabulous ship. The tour is very good. I'd like to visit there again sometime in the future.

Always we can find a new experience, hear history, see the amazing old boat that brought many people to the United States Of America on the great famine's time.

Schöner Nachbau eines Schiffes das Iren in der Zeit der großen Hungersnot nach Kanada und Amerika brachte. Geschichte gut aufbereitet. Mit sehr sympathischer Führerin. Catrina oder so ähnlich. Ca. 1 Stunde geführte Tour. Vielen Dank nochmal!

If your in Dublin just for a day and want to fit some history into your sightseeing and shopping, visiting the Jeanie Johnston is the activity to check out. The boat is incredible and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Learning more about the Great Hunger and what people had to go through to escape is a harrowing tale but an important one to learn.

Beautiful ship museum in the center of Dublin. There is a fee to visit the ship, and I advise you to buy tickets in advance, because we were not able to get there. When we had a tour of the city and we stopped near this ship, and the guide told us its story.

Visited the Jeannie Johnston in Dublin and it was amazing. It's a replica of a 19th-century ship that brought emigrants to North America. Great for understanding Ireland's history. You have to do the tour to learn how this ship managed to have 0 deaths. Highly recommend!

Fascinating history, some very sad stories and some heartwarming stories. Clare was our guide. She has a talent for telling a story and I could have listened to her all day. Tour only takes about an hour but well worth it.

The story of the Jeanie Johnston is a poignant one - especially with regard to the circumstances of the famine in Ireland, and the players involved: the shipowner, the captain and the doctor who was the hero and lives-saver of the passengers who rushed their lives for their families they leave behind in Ireland while they seek the money to send back to their families. And there was the passenger who gave birth on the ship, whose descendants gratefully came to Ireland to give thanks some 160 years later. All these story was succinctly narrated by Steve who showed us around and explained the circumstances and times and the experiences of the people who sailed in the Jeannie Johnston. A tour strongly recommended to know what the Irish had gone through and fought to survive.

Really nice tour of this replica famine ship. Our guide was very informative and personable. We arrived about 10 minutes late for our tour, but they had no problems letting us join still. Really recommend this families with young kids. Ours were amazed by the ship, and they actually learned something along the way!

Wonderful place to visit. Our guide Gerry was full of knowledge and his enthusiasm was infectious . We had three children with us on Sunday and he involved them at every opportunity. We'll work a visit.

Very interesting professional guided tour- recommandation, to learn more about Irelands History!

Very interesting and well worth visiting. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, bringing history to life through the personal stories of those who had sailed in the Jeanie Johnston to escape the famine in Ireland. We learnt a lot. Not to be missed.

Our tour guide, Lou, was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. She deftly wove the real life characters of the Jeanie into the grander history of the Famine, the Famine ships, and the present day countries of Ireland, America, and greater Europe. For those who don't know, the boat is a replica of the original, lovingly built by the Irish Government, and is permanently moored to the Dublin dockside. Thus, very little movement occurs once inside the boat. No need for the Dramamine and it's very pleasant to be "on the water" if only for a few feet and an hour or so. There is time for self reflection for those touched by the stories and Lou was very happy to answer any questions her already thorough and thoughtful presentation didn't cover. 10/10 recommend, can't miss, and highlight of our day out in Dublin Dockside area!

Really enjoyed our visit yesterday, our guide Steve was very informative, and entertaining telling the facts and stories regarding the history of the ship. And patiently answered all my 9 year olds questions. Definitely recommend 👍

Lovely experience! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Such a fun experience, even our young children enjoyed it!

One of the best expereriences in Dublin! Very touching! The guide was so clear and passionate both with historical data and Irish people feelings. Don't miss it if you want to understand the irish spread around the world and how proud of themselves are they.

This tour is a must if you're visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was amazing, and answered every question our children could think of. His knowledge and eagerness to engage with everyone on the tour was amazing. No question went unanswered and he added tidbits and bursts of humour to our tour. By the end of the story it felt like we had passed through time and had our own personal tour of the Jeanie Johnston

A fascinating tour exfoliating the training and the role of the Jeanie Johnson. Very informative guide who named to keep me totally engaged even though Covid restrictions meant all the spoken part of the tour had to take place above deck.

Our tour guide was Jerry and he was fascinating we so much enjoyed our tour and the time on this replica of the original Jeanne Johnson it is worth the tour it is worth the time one of the best sites to see when visiting Dublin!

Great tour, our guide Gerry was brilliant, funny and full of information. Enjoyed our tour 😁👍

59 minute tour of the Jeanne Johnson with an interesting guide well worth having a look to see how small the accommation is.

Our guide was excellent. We had a nice time. Amazing history.

We had the most AMAZINg experience on the Jeanie Johnston today with our guide Gerry! he was absolutely amazing. We had four boys in tow and he was fantastic with them. What an amazing story teller and a true Irishman! Thanks Gerry for a great afternoon

I toured this in November '21. The ship interested me seeing it from the shore, my guide Katrina was very informative of the history of the Potato Famine and migration to the U.S. and Canada in the mid-1800's. She was very friendly and helpful with any questions.

We loved to visit this place and the guide was 5 stars for the way he communicated. He grabbed the attention of the kids from the first minute and described everything so well. Well done!

Great tour, Katrina was a fantastic guide! She brought the history to life while also making it relatable and fascinating. Would 100% recommend this experience to anyone interested in Irish history.

We are really glad we did this tour while in Dublin. Our tour guide, Jerry, was excellent and did a great job personalizing the tour for the international mix of people in our tour. This tour was very interesting and educational, and we highly recommend it.

I highly recommend this place. Our guide Steve was fantastic. Kept the narrative very interesting and was very good with tourists in our group. The place to see and learn history about Irish Famine. 5 stars for Steve

I went there on a Sunday morning at 10! It was so nice because we were just few people and we could experience better the Jeanie Johnston! Our tour guide, Jerry, was amazing! I definitely recommend it :)

Really enjoyed our visit on board, our guide Gearoíd was so enthusiastic and passionate about the history and story behind the ship and its passengers, it made the tour all the more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful boat and a great guide . Gearoíd our guide really made it for us. Told the story with heart and humour. And what an ending. I'll not spoil it for you. Great.

This was a great experience in of Dublin's less known attractions. It tells the story of the many people that left their country to find a better future in the US. the guide is a lovely girl, very knowledgeable and kind. It is definitely worth your time.

Great visit and the guide was very passionate and well informed. I came away knowing so much more than I did when I walked across the gangplank!

Owen, our guide, was wonderful. His passion for the story was evident as we enjoyed hearing the history of the Jeanie Johnston. The ship is an exact sea worthy ship of the original. Our family walked the top and middle section of the ship all the time taking in Owen’s narrative. A must see!

Klarie was the most amazing tour guide, she brought the story alive. If you want to know more and see more about one of the most significant events in Irish history I highly recommend going here. Not only will you get to see an amazing ship but you will get some great insights into this historical event. Our guide was Klarie who was funny, witty and very knowledgeable. I could not recommend this tour higher! Its 45 min of your life you will not regret.

We decided to do a tour here while visiting Ireland and it was a great experience we learned a lot and had fun checking out the replica ship. Our guide Gearoid was knowledgeable and funny!
