5.00Diedre was a lovely story teller. The landmarks and stories were very good with the pictures of the characters too. Very enjoyable. Also enjoyed hearing the Irish words, phrases and sayings. Plus the links to other Fantasy tales such as Lord of the Rings. Right up my street.
Give it a go,

5.00Helena is an exceptional guide, and this is a wonderful tour. I heard stories I've long loved along with new ones that were truly great to learn about. Unlike many Dublin tours I've been on, this one actually crossed the river and we wrapped up on the north side of the city, which was very pleasant. All around a lovely tour and a great way to spend an evening in Dublin
Fascinating, engaging and a MUST DO

5.00We had an amazing tour led by Deirdre. She not only explained some classical history of Dublin, but the mythology and folklore was fascinating. The tour was the perfect length (2 hours) and great value for money. Highly recommend to learn some more unique history to this beautiful city.
Great tour!
