5.00Adam was such a great guide - friendly, knowledgable, and flexible with the itinerary (family of 4 - two adults and two 18 year olds arriving on a red-eye from the states). We would highly recommend him!
LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Adam is the best Irish Writers Tour Guide!

5.00This was a TREMENDOUSLY FABULOUS tour!!! Adam is a great great tour guide--soooo enthusiastic, knowledgeable, informative & FUN! Although only 1 of my young adult kids is really into Irish Writers, all 3 kids (my husband & me too) absolutely LOVED it! Adam made everything soooo easy--from meeting us to having us dodge the rain for a few minutes in a pub. He added on extra stops depending upon what we were interested in -- really such a smart, entertaining, & personable guy. At every stop Adam shared stories that both transported and entertained us simultaneously--Sweny's Pharmacy is not to be missed! Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this tour--it was our very last afternoon in Dublin & Adam took us to the Portal--what a way to end a fantastic vacation! I cannot recommend Adam's Irish Writers Tour tour enough!
