    Spent two lovely hours here today with friends. Enjoyed the guided tour - a ramble through Waterford's history with a knowledgeable and affible guide and a self paced meander through the upper floors of the building documenting Waterford's more recent history. Nice coffee shop and fabulous staff - Jacinta on reception was so helpful and really pleasant, thanks for the recommendation- the Parlour was fantastic 😊.

    The Edmund Rice International Heritage Centre in Waterford, Ireland, is the resting place of Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian and Presentation Brothers. It is also the site of an impressive visitor centre, thriving community centre and beautiful chapel. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

    I had a free guided tour this evening as part of Culture night events. The tour was excellent and the place and tour were beyond my expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and highly recommend a visit to this tourist attraction in Waterford. Great 3D show as part of the tour. Houses the largest collection of antique Waterford Crystal in the world just to mention one of many things on display.

    Great stop. The staff is super friendly (as is everyone in Ireland it seems). We enjoyed seeing the history of Waterford. They do a great job displaying various treasures and historical information. After exploring the top floor, we waited around for the afternoon tour. Miss Pimrose did a great job getting into character and taking us through the house. The 3d story at the end was fun and full of interesting facts. We also really enjoyed the glass items on sale by a local artist. He wasn’t there that day, but his workshop wear he etched everything was. It was neat to see. He had lots of beautiful work. We all bought at least one of his hand etched ornaments that were on sale for the Christmas season. This was a highlight of our day. We were all really glad we made the time to stop here and do the tour.

The Contribution of Quaker families to Waterfords history of Glassmaking and Shipbuilding in its noble port is fascinating. The tour guide Teresa brought in all together very professionally.

    I visited this place and at that time the tour guide was said to be absent, so I took it alone, the lady on the reception, gave me directions to the many upper rooms. I read everything there with most dating from Georgian era. I must say, I was thrilled. Impressed by what I saw. I recommend this place for all those who long to re-unite with history
