The other Clemson people that we had randomly run into on our first day in Dublin had suggested that we do the free walking tour offered by our hostel.  They had done the tour in London and said that it was really good because the tour guides were working hard for tips.  Our hostels, Jacobs Inn and Isaac's Hostel are brother hostels, so the tour was for both of them which worked out perfectly.  We started from our hostel, Jacob's Inn and then picked up the group from Isaac's Hostel.



Unfortunately, I cannot recall the name of our guide, but he was really entertaining.  He was very knowledgeable about the history of Dublin but was also sarcastic (most Irishmen I met were very sarcastic) and funny.
