5.00Brilliant experience with Aaron - great Irish guy (we live there and ARE biased, get over it!) Super knowledgeable about Jewish history & it's relationship to modern events. Great humour & highly personable (which is unusual for a Dub). He'll get that dig but if your from the US it might pass you by. Highly recommended.
Do not hesitate...Do this tour!!
