Simon our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He brought the whole thing together talking about Ireland and Dublin's rich history of writers. It was a pleasure walking through the streets seeing where they lived, worked and drank! The Museum of Literature entrance is included on the ticket - a fascinating collection of artefacts associated with some of Ireland's (and the world's) famous writers. A big moment for me was seeing the very first printed copy of James Joyce’s Ulysses! Recommended!
