Worth the Time!

Fairly quick tour of the triangle with a few stops along the way. Our guide Liam was terrific. He had great historical stories with great Irish humor thrown in and made sure to connect with everyone on the tour. Recommend taking the tour.

Too little information.

The tour was very short. I would have liked more in depth information.

The Viking village of Waterford

Wow! So much history in a quaint little town and packed into such a small area. The tour only takes 45 minutes and covers a vast history of the town of Waterford. The walking is easy and mostly flat, good for strollers, wheelchairs and walkers. The price was inexpensive for the volume of history you receive. Our tour guide was informative and very polite and helpful. The tour group was small for a weekend, only 4 of us!
