Engaging Irish folklore and mythology tour! - Ross was a great tour guide who was engaging and had very interesting stories about Ireland and its mythology/folklore. We learnt a lot of new things on the tour and visited a variety of places around Dublin, so we were also able to get to know the city better!

Absolutely fantastic! - Ross was an excellent tour guide! So detailed, yet not at all boring, he’s very good at hitting the right level of crowd engagement and is both extremely knowledgeable and very approachable. I’d recommend this tour to anyone interested in legends, folklore, or history. Tons of walking and standing so be prepared. Plan for the weather as well.

Learned A Lot! - We really enjoyed our tour learning about the origin or Irish myths lead by Helena. Lots of the stories I had never heard before and we got to stop at some spots around Dublin with history I didn’t know about previously either, this was a fun and well rounded tour

Great value and knowledge but needs some improvement on accessibility - Excellent content and worth the value. Great historical references. Few suggestions for hearing impaired and slower walkers: - slow down the walking...some times going through busters we lost the guide completely - when a bus or street cleaner goes by, pause the lecture. It becomes impossible to hear. - there were long periods of time standing. I saw many people have to sit. -the sites rarely added to the content
