An excellent walking tour! - My husband and I went on Tony's south side tour this morning and it was a highlight of our time in Dublin! Tony is an absolute gem of a guide - so knowledgable and friendly, and had all of us on the tour laughing and chatting as we explored the city. We left feeling we learned so much, and we're now thinking about when we could fit in the north side tour as well. We'll definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family - thanks again for a great morning, Tony!
