5.00This was an entertaining and informative tour! Lee was our guide and he did a great job engaging the group with stories about Irish folklore, along with some relevant personal/family stories mixed in that really tied the whole thing together. Excellent experience overall. There were about 10 people in the group, so it didn't feel too large and we had no trouble hearing Lee even over Dublin traffic.
Great Stories and A Witty Guide

5.00I really enjoyed this tour. Alan is a great storyteller, and he made the myths, legends, and local Dublin tales easy to follow and genuinely interesting. It was such a fun way to learn more about Irish folklore while walking through the city. I left feeling like I understood a different, more magical side of Dublin, and I’d happily recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys good stories and a bit of history.
Excellent walking tour!

5.00The guide, Dave (if I remember correctly) was really good! Attentive to us, and really funny! Not to far of a walking tour, and even though the day was surpisingly warm, he found some great shaded spots as well. The lore was interesting :)
