A great tour to see the highlights of the city. The guide Richard was very good, with great knowledge and good humor. He made the tour very enjoyable for us. The trip itself was a bit long-winded and strangely there was no possibility to eat on a 5.30am trip that started at 10.30am.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the highlights of the city with Richard.

We appreciate your comments regarding the length of the experience and the opportunity for a food break.

Thank you again for joining us and for your kind words about Richard. We hope to welcome you on another LetzGo City Tours experience in the future. Warm regards, The LetzGo City Tours Team
The tour included visits to the St. Patrick's, statue of Molly Malone, Dublin Castle (not open that day), the Kells Experience, and the Guinness brewery and Gravity Bar. Our guide was the excellent Jimmy, who led us around and was a font of information, friendly and accessible. He could also read his group, and instead of walking the St. James Gate (Guinness), he had us take a double-decker public bus, which was an experience in itself, and saved wear and tear on the feet of us older people (and gave us more time for the Guinness tour). I recommend the tour (and Jimmy). Sure, it's a lot of walking but I have some mobility issues and was able to make it (with plenty of places to sit down at times).

Overall, this was a good way to see a lot of Dublin in a single day. Samantha was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the tour moving without making it feel rushed. We enjoyed visiting St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity College and the Book of Kells, and finishing the day at the Guinness Storehouse. The skip the line saved a lot of time and made the experience much smoother. I would have liked a little more free time at a couple of the stops, but other than that, it was well organized and a great introduction to Dublin.
