Fascinating and funny introduction to Irish folklore and history - Alan was an incredibly witty, knowledgeable, and entertaining tour guide. Irish mythology and folklore is foundational to its proud republican nationalism, and we learned as much about how ancient legends connect to rebellious heroes as we did about everyday Dubliners who give the city its unique character.

Folklore and more! - Emily was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the subject of the tour. I enjoyed her presentation and made it interesting for someone like me who doesn't know anything about Irish folklore except for leprechauns. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
