Good banter will definitely recommend people to request him

Moving experience to learn of The Troubles. - In a word — Brendan. He was extremely funny, knowledgeable and engaging. He involved us in conversation so we felt comfortable asking tons of questions, which he answered authentically from a first-hand perspective. He humanized the history of The Troubles and brought passion and empathy when describing these difficult situations. We got to sign the Peace Wall, which I enjoyed.

Disappointing - Disappointing and expensive. It was supposed to be a two hour tour but was told at the start it would be an hour and a half but lasted only an hour. There were a few interesting things to see but overall the tour lacked depth and wasn’t worth the cost.
