Dublin Mythology and Folklore Tour with Irish Stories and Legends

About This Tour

This tour is unlike any other in the city; an exploration of Ireland’s rich tradition of storytelling, and how those stories have changed the curve of Irish History, shaped the nation, and made Dublin the wonderful city it is.
