An informative walking tour

A very informative and personal tour with Pasquale. He provided a nice history of the Vikings and Angelo Protestants that came and took over land from Ireland, transforming it into what it is today. This is a great tour for people who want to learn the history of Ireland from the 1200s to the 1800's.

Knowledgeable local tour guide

Wow. Just wow. Ed was an amazing tour guide. He was local and knowledgeable. He taught us so much about Irish history and took us to so many locations that we could use to visualize all of the historical information. 100% recommended.

A hidden gem

Edward our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. This tour is a hidden gem. We understand the history of this city so much better now. The Dublin castle and St Patrick Cathedral are amazing. I took this tour with my toddler and Edward was so patient with the both of us. He was engaging with my son which made this tour so worth it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
