5.00It was a very nice walk and our guide Deidra (hope i spelled right) was very good. We were only 2 people and she made it any way, it was kind of private tour. We enjoyed to do with her very much.
Nice overview...

4.00The Epic Walking Tour was included with our Waterford Treasures Freedom Pass. As expected, it provided a nice overview of some of the principal attractions in the historical core. We thereafter were able to pick and choose what we wanted to further explore, which of course is one reason for taking the tour in the first place. It was informative, leisurely and a pleasant experience.
Interesting tour with a very friendly guide
