Fun
The guide, Dave (if I remember correctly) was really good! Attentive to us, and really funny! Not to far of a walking tour, and even though the day was surpisingly warm, he found some great shaded spots as well. The lore was interesting :)

Learned a lot, unique perspective of Ireland
I really enjoyed the tour with Ross. He is very knowledgeable, a great storyteller and was able to get the group into the stories he told. I learned a lot and got a unique perspective about Ireland- would definitely recommend.
