Best tour I've been on! - This was by far the best city tour I've ever had. I'm not just saying that to fill out a review. I've been to over thirty countries and hundreds of cities, and this was hands down the best one yet. Our tour guide's name was Dan. Most tours I've been on the tour guide will just talk to fill up the time without actually giving any information. Dan actually gave very good detailed historical information the entire tour. He was very knowledgeable on all the history of not only Dublin, but all of Ireland. He gave historical context to significant sites and events and background information. This helped bring everything together giving us a better understanding of the people and culture and how we know Ireland today.

Highly recommend for all but particularly locals. So much learning I took from this tour - I am a local and did this tour as part of Pride weekend. Helena’s knowledge is phenomenal! Id highly recommend this tour for locals I learned so much about queer history in Dublin from 1916 to present day. Obviously really interesting for overseas visitors but ill be shouting about this to all friends family and colleagues. 🌟
