Walking tour of Dublin …. With song & dance - Ciaran was a super guide. We learned loads about Dublin, bits of obscure history. And his knowledge was amazing. The icing on the cake was his singing. Fantastic afternoon, thanks Ciaran

Beyond all our expectations <3 - The experience was absolutely wonderful! Dylan was incredibly kind, full of joy, and made the tour exceed all our expectations. He shared a wealth of fascinating information about the history of Ireland and Irish music. Not only is he an amazing musician, but also a captivating storyteller—he played many songs that perfectly complemented the stories he told. A magical atmosphere followed us through the streets of Dublin the entire time. I deeply appreciate the attention, passion, and knowledge he shared with us. I highly recommend this experience—you won’t regret booking it! It’s a truly unique way to explore and experience Ireland. We had an unforgettable time! Bonus: He also gave us the best recommendations for food and drinks in the city. Everything was five stars!
