Helena the Legend!

Our first night in Dublin we book this tour and it was amazing! as someone who loves Mythology and folklore this was the perfect tour. Helena was fun and very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. We learnt heaps about Irish history and the resurgence of irish culture and language. Helena also gave us some great recommendations for things to do, eat and drink around the city. I highly recommend this tour even if youre not a nerd for myths, like myself.

Not only the beautiful stories, but even more the personal touch and devotion with which the teller told these tales, gave an amazing experience. Thank you Helena

So interesting, fun, and meaningful!

Helena was phenomenal - so warm and funny, and such a great storyteller. What I loved about the tour is that she showed how traditional Irish mythology and folklore shaped the modern Ireland that we know today.
