Don’t just take our word for it
Our family had an absolutely incredible time on the Dublin Art and Culture Tour with Catherine. While seeing the National Gallery, the Archeological Museum, and the Book of Kells was breathtaking, it was Catherine’s phenomenal expertise that truly made the day unforgettable. It is immediately clear that she has dedicated years of research to understanding Ireland's complex origins. She did a masterful job of weaving together the ancient artifacts, literature, and artwork to explain exactly what has shaped Irish culture into what it is today. On top of her profound knowledge, she is a warm and engaging conversationalist who made the history come alive. We learned so much and enjoyed every single minute. Highly recommend!
Dairine was delightful and knowledgeable. We covered so much and our time flowed beautifully from art to antiquities to authors. We had great conversations throughout as well! The 400BC blog people were incredible!
