Interesting tour - It was nice to hear some of the stories you don‘t usually hear in museums, etc. The tour guide was very kind and funny too and since she is originally from Dublin, she knew exactly what she was talking about.

Exciting tour about ghosts, faes and other mysteries with a great tourguide - This tour was really nice. I learned a lot I didn’t knew about mysteries from Ireland, also historical background. But what I appreciate most was the tourguide Ciaran. You really felt that he‘s passionate about what he‘s talking and did the tour with so much of energy. Thanks for a great evening and some interesting insights!

A good walk and a good workout! - Very good tour, Ciaran was a great guide, very informative, a real history lesson on Dublin's gory past - I would certainly recommend it... BUT... Ciaran is a 'brisk walker' to say the least and there were times where we felt Mo Farrah may have been a bit wheezy keeping up. Lots of cobbled streets, one steep hill, traffic lights that don't stay red for long when crossing (which I know isn't Ciaran's fault) but I do think he could have waited for all the party to catch up before talking about the next stop! Two of the party departed midway through the walk and no one noticed until the end. But I can confirm they wandered off and didn't die of exhaustion! Do go, but be prepared!
