It is a historical tour, with stops where the guru plays traditional songs and tells stories, but it was very interesting and livened things up.

Sean was very fun and entertaining. Very good player and singer. He showed us interesting places and told us many different stories all related to traditional songs. A different but very worthy tour.

It's very entertaining, educational, interactive, fun and bright. At some stops he makes you sing with him and other people and groups stop and listen. It is absolutely a good decision to go with this tour, you won't regret. Sean is the best Guru :), thanks we really enjoyed ourselves
