Such an inspiring historian. Loved my delicious time with Cat.
Hogan was pleasant, generous, flexible and answered all of our questions thoughtfully knowledgeably and with great patience. His grasp of Irish history and its people brought it to life. Wonderful tour - would recommend highly
We were lucky enough to have Catherine for two tours! This art and culture tour was our second and just proved how knowledgeable Catherine is. She was the perfect guide and highlighted the best around Dublin and in the Museums. We learned about Irish authors, artists, politicians, etc who helped shape the narrative of Irish culture. She was tremendously fun and was great with us two adults but I could also see her being fantastic with families and kids! 15/10 experience!
