Reviews
We took the Gay History tour and loved every minute of it! Sean is so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject but still made our tour funny and engaging. We really felt connected to a new (to us!) side of Dublin’s history. Would recommend this for anyone, not just a member of the LGBTQ community or someone unfamiliar with Dublin.
This was a fascinating tour, some of which I knew but much of which I didn’t. Our guide was funny, insightful, irreverent and gave me a fresh perspective on the city. Highly recommended.
