You’ll weave your way through a pocket of the city, discovering what makes it so special, and where the reputation as a famously friendly city comes from. Your day will be filled with whatever you’d like - the only guarantee is that there’ll be great craic - if you don’t know what we mean, ask your host!

Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
