Excellent
Brian was an amazing guide and the tour was packed with activity but never seemed rushed. He did a wonderful job incorporating history and interesting facts about Dublin as we walked. Highly recommended!

Great
I really enjoyed the experience with Sionainn. She was attentive, funny and full of information. It wasn't my first time in Dublin but the tour was totally worth it...although only the first part. At 11.30 we already made a stop to eat and we were in an area where, apparently, there were not many options, I thought I was wasting time waiting for the only restaurant in the area to open. After lunch we visited the distillery and the Guinness two visits for me, totally dispensable, especially the Guinness... I thought it was a rather uninteresting shopping center, rich beer, yes, but I would never have walked there. At the distillery...a lot of noise, a little visit especially with little content. When you finish in Guinness, you are a bit disoriented, very far from the center...I thought I was wasting my time. I think the distribution of time on the tour should be more specified (at least I didn't know, it may be my fault). If I had known, I would have said good-bye before lunch. But I insist, our guide was GREAT, he cared about us at all times, he had a very intelligent humor and he knew how to make the tour very entertaining. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU
