Tour guide was great, and learned a lot of history. A lot of walking, around 2 hours, and getting to know Dublin. Cost wasn't too expensive, and atmosphere was calm. Good for introduction to the area and learning some local history.

It was my first day in Dublin, and I’m really glad I booked this tour for the evening. Ross was an incredible guide. He spoke about all the mythologies and folkloric beliefs with such passion and fascination that I genuinely felt like I’d become part of a larger community, and he was the storyteller. Truly amazing — he has great charisma, immense knowledge, and an ability to tell stories in a very, very captivating way. I honestly don’t remember the last time two hours of my life passed so quickly. I could have walked around and listened to his stories for even longer. A really fantastic guide and a brilliant tour. I recommend it to everyone.
Deirdre was a real salmon of knowledge

Deirdre was a wonderful guide !! Me and my friend both enjoy mythology, she knows a lot more than me but we both found it engaging and learned a lot regardless! The myths were told like stories there was a lot of fun and interaction along with a lot of interesting history, absolutely would recommend the experience to anyone, even if myths and folklore aren’t big interests of yours :))
Amazing experience!
