A 2-hour Dublin historical walk with a postgraduate guide. Trinity to Dublin Castle, small groups, and context you can use all day.

A 2-hour guided walking tour of Dublin’s key landmarks, from Dublin Castle to Temple Bar, told by Trinity history grads.

Galway day trip to the Burren and Cliffs of Moher with live narration, Doolin lunch, and a 2-hour cliff walk.
“Great value for the price. I wouldn't have paid more but I didn't mind what we did pay (50 euro in October 2025). Included some funny commentary from the bus driver. Really liked the pub we stopped at for lunch. Only weird thing is they advertised going to a chocolate museum/factory and we never made it there. There was no explanation about that either -- just didn't stop at it and never mentioned it. Cliffs of Moher were spectacular. I didn't think we were going to need three hours there but I was definitely wrong.”
