It was such an amazing, indispensable experience for a person who loves music. Sean not only has enlightened me about Irish folk music but also gave me lots of information about the history of the folk music that he sang. We stopped at various sightseeings in Dublin like, St. Patrick’s cathedral, Dublin Castle, Christ church cathedral, National Museum of Ireland and many more and of course the awesome trip was accompanied by beautiful traditional folk songs, which were real treats for ears. I was generously provided with many many interesting and fun stories related to leprechauns, fairies and writers and had lots of insights, even learned some useful Irish phrases 😀 Thank you so much, I really appreciate for creating a beautiful musical memory for me 🍀 All the best 🍀

So much fun! As a solo traveller, I was really worried about being anxious/lonely during activities but our guide, Matthew, was phenomenal. He was really good with crowd interaction and making the history really interesting. Highly recommend

The. hop on bus tour around Dublin was so much fun. The drivers with their Irish humour made it enjoyable except for the rain . They were knowledgeable about parts of Dublin and it was definitely value for money. Highly recommend .

Great trip around Dublin. The pre-recorded tour guide voice is ok, but some of the better drivers do it themselves, and it made for a better tour.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and adapted the tour to my interests. He was also super friendly. I got a lot out of this tour.
