Ghost Tour with Niamh - The visit was GREAT, Niamh our Guide, was totally in his role. Making the visit at nightfall, the atmosphere and stories told, the places visited, everything was very good. The tour requires an average level of English to understand the essentials. Niamh listens and adapts if one does not understand the more specific words.
