Beyond the “regular tours” - If you are looking for something a bit different than the standard Dublin tour, this one is for you. There are more legends, stories and history than the usual tours. I was lucky enough to have José as my guide. He made it fun, interesting and personal. Be sure to ask him about the story of the lucky stone!

Unhappy travellers - This is us waiting for 45 minutes in the rain for the tour guide who did not turn up. We have had no communication from them or Viator as to why or what happened.
