Right from the start-Gerard was money! We knew he would be great Craic! One of the best free walking tours we have had! Ask for him by name! Nothing can stop this guy…a public intoxication event was going on behind us at St Nicholas and Gerard never missed a beat! He gives great recommendations and has good jokes (well most of them…) if you share your proper Irish Chips with him…he will tell you about his run in with Ed Sheeran!
