My friend and I generally opt for a walking tour when visiting a new city and both found that this one was particularly enjoyable! It had the perfect mix of information: history, religion, architecture, random facts and anecdotes. We didn't see the 2.5 hours go by!

A pretty comprehensive tour of Dublin. Just the right amount of detail on history, not too in depth but a good overview through the places on the tour. Tara gave an interesting feminist angle (according to my wife;) on Irish history too. One of the best guruwalks we’ve done
