House Tour

"Fantastic house and grounds. Plenty to do for all ages from the playground and maze to the various tours. The house tour was an incredible learning experience and our tour guide, Ann was extremely knowledgeable. A visit is highly recommended. We didn't get to do lunch as it was extremely busy with long queues all the time we were there."

"Great example of Georgian Country Mansion. Guided tour was amazing and the house is in top condition and very lovingly cared for. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. House shop has a built in cinema further showing photographs taken by last few owners, very beautiful piece of history preserved. Loved it!"

"We had visitors home from the US and decided to bring them to Russborough House today. On entering we had a very warm welcome from staff on tour reception desk. We had our son with special needs who's in a wheelchair with us and they were brilliant to him and we were delighted that he too could do the tour of the house. The tour guide Ann was also exceptional. The interior of the house and its Art work content was just stunning. We would highly recommend a visit to this magnificent house and Gardens for anyone looking for a really pleasant day out."

"One word, magnificent! A Sunday afternoon chasing some sunshine led us with two friends to Russborough House in County Wicklow. From the beginning to the end it was a pleasure and one that I now intend to repeat many times. The tour is excellent. The rooms are spectacular, fine plaster work and exquisite furnishings and in such good order, it's definitely a Downton Abbey fans dream."

"Today 19 of our men's shed members travelled to Russborough House and Gardens in west Wicklow. We had a fantastic tour of the house hosted by our guide Jack who was brilliant, knowledgable and more than passionate on the history and artefacts in the House. The detail of Jack's knowledge was second to none. Our members feedback was more than positive and given that we have visited lots of historic Houses this one is at the very top of our experiences. Following the tour we had refreshments in the newly renovated cafe where the fare was top class. We then visited the walled gardens in glorious sunshine and spoke to some of the many Volunteer gardeners who work there. A very pleasant experience which I highly recommend to you."

"We got so much information about the house and the owners it was amazing! The tour guide was a fountain of knowledge and so interesting. The house is magnificent, so full of history, and the shop in the basement is beautifully curated. We had just enough time for coffee and homemade cake in the cafe, which was delicious and such good value. We would definitely come back and spend more time here, such a wonderful place to visit!"

"Russborough is a treat for the senses. The house itself is an architectural gem with an amazing art collection mainly gathered and restored by the Beit family who were the last people to live there. We are so lucky that they bequeathed it to the state and it is now ruin by a foundation. I had a wonderful guided tour with a very knowledgeable guide."
