posted by jroose on 6 October 2010 at 16:01

I like to get to know a city by walking aroung, but sometimes get the feeling that i'm missing some important things, so when i arrived in dublin i decided to take the walking tour first of all. it was really informative, a very good length, and really helped me get my bearings for the rest of my holiday, would recommend to anyone.

If your children are magpies like mine then this is a great place to go. With plenty of history about this old bank to keep us entertained and shiny money-related things for them we passed a good while here exploring all the exhibits.

The mound, just by the castle

Vatican Museums Walking Tour

posted by khanford on 1 October 2010 at 12:21

With so much to see and do in Rome it can be hard to decide what to choose if you are only there for a short break. We chose to do the Vatican Museums Walking Tour which incorporates the Sistene Chapel, Raphaels Rooms and St Peters. This tour only allows up to 20 people at a time which allows for a thorough and detailed guide over 3 hours.

where, when, how, web
Tour departs near the Vatican Museums entrance.
