Trinity Trails

Hi I’m Katie. I’m an American studying law here at Trinity. My favorite part of the tour is the Museum building and all of the stories around it! I love the culture of Trinity it feels like it’s own little slice of Dublin and is such a vibrant international community.

Hi! I’m James and I’ve just finished my first year studying Law here in Trinity. A great part of studying on Trinity campus is the central location right in the city centre. My favourite part of the tour is definitely the Museum Building. It has a distinct emphasis on Irish flora and fauna despite its Italianate design and one of the most unique interiors in the country.

Hi, my name is Sadhbh and I am a European Studies student here at Trinity College. As part of my degree I study Spanish and German, as well as European history. I love getting to share the historic origins of our university with visitors, as well as learning about new places and cultures around the world from those that participate in our tours!

Hi! My name is Luca. I am a History student here in Trinity College Dublin. Since 1592, Trinity has been at the centre of a wide period in Irish history and has witnessed some of the country’s most influential figures pass through its gates. As such, I try to use the history of Trinity as a platform for introducing visitors on my tours to the wider history of Ireland as a whole. My favourite site on the campus would have be the Front Square itself, the very spot where Trinity’s history began all the way back in 1592.

Hi! My name is Oisín. I am a Theoretical Physics student here in Trinity College. My favourite part of the tour is the ‘Apples and Atoms’ sculpture, crafted to commemorate Trinity’s Nobel Prize winning physicist: Ernest Walton. I love meeting visitors to the college from all over the world, and my favourite building on the campus would have to be the Museum Building. The Connemara Marble and Giant Dear skeletons are breathtaking!

My name is Tess and I just finished a degree in History and Sociology here in Trinity. My favourite part of campus is the Arts Block as it is always buzzing with life and activity. I also really like brutalist architecture so Fellows Square is a great place to sit and appreciate the brutalist buildings on campus.

My name is Paul McGee and I have been part of the Trinity Trails team since May 2022. I am a qualified National and Local tour guide and a member of the Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (ATGI). I am a graduate of the Trinity Business School where I studied Creative Thinking, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (CTIE). My favourite part of the campus tour is meeting each different group and sharing the history of Trinity College with them. Each group of guests is different, and the variety is always enjoyable and interesting.

My name is Grace Dolan and I am currently a final-year European Studies student. As part of my course, I study German and French, so I am always happy to have a chat in either of those languages. My favourite aspect of the tour is probably all of the different types of architecture on campus!

Hi my name is Rose Ann. I’m in my third year here studying Physics. I really enjoy life here at Trinity. It has played such a prominent role in Ireland through the centuries and I love meeting with tourists and sharing the history and stories of this lovely campus.

Hi, my name is Eoin, and I study Philosophy, Political Science, Economics and Sociology here in Trinity College.
My favourite part of the tour is the Graduates’ Memorial Building (GMB), a building run by Student Societies and houses some of the most important student stories from throughout the history of the college. I can’t wait to tell you about it!

Hi, my name is Sara and I study Geo and Environmental sciences here at Trinity College Dublin. My favourite parts of campus are the Museum building and the rose garden. As a Geoscience major, I’ve spent most of my time at Trinity attending classes in the Museum building and chatting with friends in the Rose Garden. I love being able to incorporate the rich history of these locations into the experience of each visitor who enters Trinity.

Hi my name’s Harry and I study Drama and Theatre Studies here at Trinity College, my favourite part of the tour is our own Drama Building. Here I’ll get the chance to tell you all about one of Ireland’s most famous playwright’s and the theatre’s namesake; Samuel Beckett.

Hi, my name is Anne. Since retiring as an English teacher I have developed a keen interest in heritage and archeology. A Tour Guiding course fed that passion and enabled me to appreciate the wonder and beauty behind every stone wall and monument. I have an M.A. in Modern English Literature, and in my spare time I do some creative writing and teach English Literature to adults.

I think my favourite part of the campus tour is just walking along the cobblestones among the splendid and varied buildings, simply contemplating how so many different-famous and infamous- people inhabited this campus once, not to mention the Augustinian monks all those years hence!

Hi, my name is Connor and I’m a 4th-year Geoscience student, so my favourite part of the campus is definitely the museum building, which I’m lucky enough to have all my classes in. I love being able to introduce tour groups to this building and showcase its contents!
