Super tour guide Ulton was knowledgeable and managed humor although a serious tour of Irish history and some of their leaders Highly recommended for all ages but won’t find a better tour guide
What a wonderful few hours among the dead of ireland, amazing tour explaining some of the history of ireland through the lives of a great many Irish hero's and patriots well worth the time and for very little money, brilliant is all I can say and a big shout out for our tour guide the guy with the unusual irish first name who reckons he's a 2nd cousin 11 times removed from Daniel O'Connell buladh bàs
Emma and Duncan were lovely and lively! They went with the flow even when people were disruptive. Great energy and fun times!
