She did a great job and the whole family had a blast. We learned a ton about the history of Dublin and Ireland. We'd take a tour again with her!
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!

We had such a wonderful time with Cat, I highly recommend this tour especially with a family group where you can find something for everyone. It was a great balance of history and understanding where the food came from and why it was important, combined with the confidence of knowing these would be great quality choices that we really enjoyed. It also felt like we were able to condense a lot of varied experiences into a few short hours so was well worth it. Thanks so much, this was our 3rd tour with Context and they have all been the best tours we’ve ever done. Looking forward to the next one!
