The tour & guide were excellent. We learned so much about the political issues & challenges Ireland has gone through. Our guide Tony shared a personal account of how his family’s life has suffered through the conflicts & we were so grateful for his sharing with us. The only downside is we were hoping to tour in an old black cab as all the ads show, however we had a black ‘minivan’ Other than that it was fantastic and a must do! :)
