Fantastic insights to the Irish rock scene.

Fantastic insights to the Irish rock scene. Matthew did a fantastic job with his passion for the music and history really shining though. We really enjoyed the artefacts and the stories.

Great guide - Kevin

Kevin was an excellent guide. He tailored the experience to our interests, was very knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. A wonderful experience.

Hit all the right notes

Fair play! Kevin, our tour guide was great - so knowledgeable and clear to see his love for the music, the history, the instruments and Venue, and a great guy to encourage the chats and a jam (no gimmicky stuff.. just the real deal). We had a small group - a couple and I, and we got so much value from our hour there. Up close and personal with legendary memorabilia, Kevin giving us the insider history and we got to sit at the amazing old recording desk. So glad I stumbled in on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Great Tour. A ‘Must Do’ in Dublin.

Very Informative. Our tour guide Matthew knew a lot and was easily able to share that information with us. He made the tour that much better.
