Things You Didn't Know That You Needed to Know About Oscar Wilde - Tour guides were very funny and appreciated their sense of humor. Also informative while still talking to and getting to know us. It felt interactive and ended up going out for a few pints with some others in the group after it ended. Great time and would recommend, especially if you like history, literature, or any combination of the two.
