Really loved this tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and you could tell he cared deeply about Irish history. I really enjoyed learning about all the different places, and it made me curious to go learn even more afterwards. Would highly recommend!

Room was incredibly knowledgeable and he presented things clearly, weaving in the stories as well as contextual information. He responded really well to questions and covered the whole gamut of history bringing it right up to date with the more recent referenda on gay marriage and abortion. A fascinating morning.
