Excellent crime tour of Dublin city

Our guide was brilliant, very friendly and made the tour more interesting. We can't remember the guides name but it was on Saturday the 29th of August from 4pm until 6pm. She showed a great knowledge of Dublin city, she was very clear and precise. Would highly recommend to others.
