    What made this special was our guide Antonio. He was vibrant and interesting and sprinkled humor throughout his presentation. It must be difficult to do tours every day and present information in a fresh and interesting manner each time, over and over. Hats off to Antonio. The book of Kells at Trinity College was beautiful and amazing with a history that catches attention. What a powerful story. The walking tour was fun and we had a great time! Thanks !
