Interesting, informative, entertaining

It was a lovely and entertaining experience, we were shown an introductory movie and then some of the rooms to explore on our own before the actual tour started, and then a guide in costume greeted us to direct us to the main exhibition. While small, befitting the name, it contained a great lot of artifacts and news clippings and other items of historical value - all donated by Dubliners. The guide named Evan told us of the main points and developments in Irish history, as well as historical figures, all in an artistic and entertaining manner - I believe he's an amateur actor, which did show throughout the tour. At some point, the power in the building went out, but he didn't get lost and still managed to make the tour very interesting and entertaining despite the darker rooms. Afterwards, we were allowed to roam freely and explore some more rooms on the upper floor on our own tempo. All in all, I recommend this museum if you want a concise yet fun and interactive digest of Dublin history

50 minutes of concentrated information

The trip goes up and down the Liffey in its lower section. During this, concentrated information is presented in English, with a bit of sailor's yarn included. The presenter himself points this out, but it is left to the listeners to distinguish between true and false. Good English skills required.

Relaxing boat ride on the Liffey

Our boat ride on the Liffey was interesting and entertaining. The tour guide and captain did a great job of telling interesting stories and pointing out points of interest along the river.
