Interesting - Interesting tour. Lots of history. Market square was a lively place as was the Main Street. Would have liked more walking and perhaps a stroll past the cathedral

Knowledgeable and Engaging - Gerald is very knowledgeable about Irish history. He spent extra time with us going into details of Ireland in the last 900 years. It was also nice to have received local recommendations for food and snacks!

Not good - The leader, Jared, seemed unhappy to be there. There were only four participants. The information was superficial, and when asked of questions he would I say that was not an area he had explored. Simple questions. And clearly not engaged with the participants, couldn’t wait to be done. Other tours are available, I suggest the reader check them out.
