Feel the magic of irish music in NYC

I was very curious about this tour. It was my 39. stay in NYC and I did a lot of tours so far, but this tour was one of my best experiences ever. For four hours I was a party of the history of Irish music. The tour guide had so much knowledge, unbelievable! I just listened! I definitely will do this tour again! The bars we had stopps in, were pure magic and historical! The agency did also a fantastic job, i felt very fantastic in all kinds. This was a 5 stars experience!

Operator response

We are delighted to hear you felt the magic! Thank you for choosing our Irish Pubs, Music and Culture Tour during your stay in NYC. It is wonderful to know Dave's knowledge and the historic Irish pubs made this one of your favorite experiences. I think it was interesting to hear his take on the Irish Fairytale of New York, in an Irish Pub in Manhattan with all the holiday decor. See you on visit #40!
