Fun and interesting walking tour through the streets of Dublin. - A fun and interesting tour. We had Ross as our tour guide -he was funny and knowledgeable and very adaptable (the streets of Dublin were a bit hectic) . The stories were interesting and we learnt a lot about very real Irish icons as well as folklore. Would definitely recommend, Ross was A+ as a guide.

Such a fun way to see Dublin! Fairies included! - This was such a neat tour!!! We were told such fun stories and the history of how things "came to be" in Dublin. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! Her energy was excellent! She even kept our 4 and 6 year old entertained the entire time!

Definitely worth your time. - It was a very interesting and fun experience. Ross was very entertaining and knowledgeable, not only I learned a lot, I laughed a lot and I am adding a few words to my everyday vocabulary. Recommend going on your first day to get some really cool insights into Irish culture and pointers on where to go next.

Fun historical tour - Ross was a great tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Irish culture. You could tell he cares about keeping oral history alive and loves sharing these stories of lore and legends with others. We went to about 6ish stops to learn about different stories pertaining to local landscapes. A great way to get an overview of Ireland's history, I learned so much! Gets chilly/kinda windy (October, 54° F) when the sun goes down (warm layers encouraged), overall very flat route. Sometimes there are steps or walls to lean against, otherwise standing and walking the whole time. 10/10 recommend!!

Throughly enjoyable mythical tour! - My friends and I did this walking tour as an alternative activity to do in dublin. Being Irish I thought I would know many of the stories that were told but was pleasantly surprised to learn more about our country’s rich folklore. Our tour guide Lee was very informative and knowledgeable on all things mythical and left us very impressed. The overall experience was enjoyable and despite the rain we had a lovely evening hearing about the gods and legends of Ireland.

Really enjoyable! - Ross led our tour and was fantastic; friendly and entertaining, he explained that Irish folk tales were meant to be told rather than read, and he did a great job of keeping the group engaged during. A nice easy walk in the evening around central Dublin. Would recommend!!
