Gain Perspective with a Great Teacher

Paula is an educator in the fullest sense of the word. Of course she explained the history and showed us the key places but she also paced it with the time to allow our preconceived notions to dissipate so we could truly learn. Ultimately it was a very moving experience.

Fascinating Troubles Tour

Fabulous tour with our knowledgeable and engaging guide Paula. At the start of the tour she set the scene and explained the checkered history leading to the ‘Troubles’ She presented us with a balanced view of both sides and the tour was considerably longer than the advertised time. Really appreciated her lists of movies and books based on the troubles times. Whilst at times confronting, it was very informative. Would highly recommend.

The Troubles Explained

Barry was a wealth of knowledge and really helped with perspective of both "sides", because of his worthwhile review of the ancient history of Ireland. Thanks, Barry, for sharing your personal stories as well your recommendations got movies, etc.! Also, we enjoyed a pint and lunch at Kelly's., so thanks for dropping us off. We appreciate you, Liz
