Give it a go; you’ll be glad you did! - This felt like a pub crawl with a really smart friend more than it did a tour with a stranger. Daniel, our guide, took us through Ireland’s varied storytelling cycles and mythology, but always made it feel conversational rather than a lecture. We learned so much, and we had a really good time. The food and drink were excellent as well—whoever invented the ham and cheese toastie should have been knighted.

Good fun and great banter - “Gavino” ;) (not his real name) is a friendly and engaging guide, gift of the gab, just what you want from an Irish storyteller. Snacks were tasty and quite substantial; Irish coffee making a revelation.

Great guide, great food, great tour! - Due to my wife and I being the only folks to schedule the excursion, the tour guide asked if we could switch to a different excursion and they made the transition super easy. Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable and picked three great locations. She also made plenty of recommendations to our group for dining, drinking and entertainment options. She even walked us back to a bar where we went at the start of the tour, which was very helpful as we covered a good bit of ground during the tour. Highly recommend this tour!
