Great storytelling - lots of walking

Mario was so pleasant and very well educated! We could absolutely tell he has a passion for Dublin by the way he told his stories. Something good to know - this is ideal for history enthusiasts. It was mostly story time, 3.5 hours to walk the distance of a mile and a half. But great information
