I was very curious about this tour. It was my 39. stay in NYC and I did a lot of tours so far, but this tour was one of my best experiences ever. For four hours I was a party of the history of Irish music. The tour guide had so much knowledge, unbelievable! I just listened! I definitely will do this tour again! The bars we had stopps in, were pure magic and historical! The agency did also a fantastic job, i felt very fantastic in all kinds. This was a 5 stars experience!
