Wonderful Way to See Dublin with our Family

We had a wonderful time on our tour with Colm! He was attentive to our family of 6, including our 4 young kids. We saw and learned so much in those 3 hours and all of us enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend this tour company!!

Highly recommended!

10 of us on the songs and stories tour. Garvan was a delight. The songs were great and he's a terrific story teller. Not a dull moment. This is a wonderful way to get acquainted with the city, pick up some history and culture, and make a fast friend. Highly, highly recommended.
