My brother and I did a tour with Emily today. We're visiting from Scotland and thought she did an amazing job of sharing the interesting tales of Irish folklore and mythology. We both found it incredibly interesting and educational, and she was super friendly. Would definitely recommend to others and would do this tour again the next time we're in Dublin!

Emily was an amazing guide! Her stories were fun to learn about and so interesting. I would 10/10 recommend the experience!

I and my 2 sisters really enjoyed this. Dave our guide, whilst we were Irish but from out of town, had much to take away from his sophisticated, interconnecting and often humourous presentation.
A recurring reference for example was how mythology had inspired and was latterly evoked in Irelands struggle for independence and ranged in its influence from the naming of Ireland itself to the the naming of more 'recent institutions' such as two of our significant political parties (Fine Gael and Fianna Fail)

Amazing tour guide with very good pacing and storytelling! Enjoyed being with Helena throughout the tour and it was just the right amount of content, history, walking and sightseeing combined. Very fun and worth joining, especially for myth and folklore lovers who want to go around the city!

I went on this tour last year and had such a great time with Alan that I brought my mom on the same tour this year. Alan is an incredible storyteller and we so enjoyed the tour. I'm sure I'll be back next year!

This was a must do tour! Our first day in Dublin and Helena was a wonderful tour guide with a great set of Irish tales to talk about. Everything flowed smoothly, the stops weren't too far apart, she was funny and welcoming.
I'd 100% recommend to anyone and would do myself again if I have the chance!
Thank you Helena x

Excellent tour! Loved the blending of history and mythology. The historical stories were put into an entertaining perspective with Dave weaving popular and obscure mythology into the information at each point of interest throughout the tour.
