View on Google MapsThis was one of the most fascinating and engaging tours I've ever been on. We had Debbie as our guide and she was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She answerd all our questions and treated us with lovely anecdotes. Even being Irish myself, there was so much I didn't know about the customs and superstitions around death. The building is amazing, the story behind it more so and I am so so glad we decided to go there.
This was an Excellent tour delivered by a very knowledgeable guide. We completed the tour on 28/01/26 at 11:45. It was so interesting. The tour guide had such wonderful knowledge of the area, the history, and the customs. And she sang the “Our Father” at the end of the tour. Fabulous- it would make the hairs stand at the back of your neck. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Waterford
Great experience. Took the train from Kilkenny just to visit and well worth it. Tobie the guide was perfect. The exhibits really helped to understand the history.

The guide called Toby was excellent, brilliant humour & very informative. It was history of Waterford too. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommend. Thank you
We tried to visit The Wake Museum last year and were so glad we could this time around! We’re from Waterford but living in London and this was a lovely way to experience our home town. We’re so lucky to have so many amazing museums and tour guides. Liam was so engaging and knowledgable so we throughly enjoyed our experience! Would recommend to anyone visiting or locals like us :)
Tobie gave us such an amazing and informative tour that I'll never forget. He is a very passionate tour guide, and when we reached the last part of the tour, he offered me a tissue as I was unexpectedly overwhelmed
Had a wonderful tour in wake museum. I think the title of the place is misleading as there’s way more to it than “wakes”. I learned about Irish history and life in the 1400s upwards! Clare was our guide - she was amazingly informative and great for a chat or a laugh. I recommend this tour for sure
It was a very unique look into the past. The tour guide was phenomenal. Highly recommend the experience. This was definitely not "touristy". Admission fee was not outrageous. 45 minutes was the perfect amount of time to learn about Waterford's history of death and funerals.
Great tour with Tobie Wonderful way to spend an hour. Insightful, quirky and humorous, Tobie, our guide made the visit fascinating and enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend.
Absolutely fabulous tour and had the most wonderful tour guide. Tobie made the journey into the past a very special memorial occasion for us. The Wake museum is a most of all ages and tells the history of how the Irish sends the loved ones onto their final journey
