Great Experience - This was booked as a surprise gift for a friend and I couldn’t recommend it more. Deirdre was our wonderful guide for the evening. Her amazing storytelling allowed us to feel every emotion possible. She was so accommodating offering recommendations to the group at the end. We got a great insight to the spooky history all around Dublin and it has encouraged us to investigate more around us. 10/10 amazing experience and cannot recommend enough. Thanks so much again!

A tour to remember… - Absolutely Wonderful…
Deirdre was our guide and she was amazing! Personable from the moment we connected! The tour takes you through Dublin and gives you lots of information about some of the lesser known facts about the area! I was very intrigued and actually went back to our hotel to jot down some of the information so I could read more about what we learned! This was definitely a great experience! Thank you, Deirdre!
