This was an excellent and extremely interesting walking tour. Melissa was a very knowledgeable and informative guide. I would highly recommend everyone-locals or visitors-to go on this tour.

We went on the Sligo Dark Tales Tour last night and really enjoyed it. Melissa put a lot of work into the details of props and information on people who lived in Sligo town.
