Walk from Christchurch through Thomas Street and the Liberties, stopping for Irish food, beer, pub culture, and a coffee tasting.

“Had to call support number. Guide was not at meeting site. Guide thought meeting point was across town and was waiting there. 6 people were waiting and had to call. Tour started a little late and we had to get a revised tour that left out a really old pub. Food was good. Guide was very knowledgeable about history. Great history tour if that is what you like.”
