Interesting tour! - We were warmly welcomed by St.Andrew's Church, and the tour started on time. Our guide Henry showed a great understanding of the Irish society and knowledge of history, politics and culture. He presented different perspectives and had a good overall point of view. He answered all the questions gladly, and gave us some pieces of advice on pubs/bars etc. The group enjoyed this 2,5-3 hours tour a lot! Thanks!
