Summary: It was a tour that was beautifully curated, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Dublin. We learned so much about the history of Waterford Crystal (a true Irish tradition). The guide’s commentary was lively and informative, making the experience both educational and entertaining. I especially enjoyed browsing the gift shop afterward, picking up a unique piece to remember the trip. Overall, it truly exceeded expectations.
