My sister and I took this tour and Ted was our guide--he was amazing! Although we are life-long residents of the area AND history buffs, he told us many interesting stories we did NOT know in a most entertaining and humorous way. He was also kind enough to spare us a few minutes after the tour as we shared with him our "grim" photos of the "bog bodies" of Ireland and the catacombs of Paris. I highly recommend this tour!

I took this tour with my teenage daughter. It was a fun way to see parts of the city and learn a bit of history and the darker side of the city history.

Ted was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable as well as entertaining. My family loved it. We plan on coming back for more tours.
