Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Charming and Delightful!
Mar 2023
I absolutely adored this event! I really felt like I got a glimpse into Irish folklore and culture. The stories were told so well and Johnny was so willing to answer any questions we had. He made every answer into a story and I loved listening! If I'm ever back in Dublin, I'll definitely come again! The food was great too!

Disappointing
Mar 2023 • Solo
The storyteller was very difficult to understand, and also did not speak loud enough. He started late. And then took a break about halfway through. During the breaks, he spent all of his time talking with people from California instead of getting to know the rest of the group. They were 14 of us.

I am really sorry that you did not enjoy the storytelling evening with us. I wish you had mentioned that you were having difficulty hearing me as I woud have tried to speak louder or sat you closer to me to ensure you could understand the presentation . We always take a break in the middle of the show as there are 2 different storytelling sessions and it gives people a chance to get another drink if they so wish. Iam so sorry you felt ignored as I am so consciuous of making everyone feel welcome and try to get to chat to all our guests during the evening . Once again my sincerest apologies that you did not enjoy the eveing with us and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Dublin.

A true storyteller!
Nov 2022
We attended the Evening of Folklore and Fairies with Johnny on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. This was such fun, and we were both glad that we had booked this at the beginning of our tour. My favorite part was when Johnny was asked if he really believes in fairies. He grinned and said, “Well, many would say that they do not believe, but we all respect their boundaries.” There’s nothing like the glint in the eye of a true Irish storyteller!

So interesting!
Dec 2022
Johnny was our storyteller from the Evening of Irish Folklore and Fairies for a work event. He shared with us some of Ireland's fantastical fairy tales that have been passed down through generations. He was very flexible and interacted perfectly with our comments and questions. He was definitely a knowledgeable person in the Irish folklore. It was a wonderful evening! As a foreigner I'm always delighted to know more about this beautiful island. Thanks Johnny!

Great evening
Nov 2022
Johnny was our storyteller from the Evening of Irish Folklore and Fairies. Johnny shared with us some of Ireland's fantastical fairy tales that have been passed down through generations. His stories of fairies and magic spells fed our childhood imagination. It was a wonderful evening and we cannot wait to return to Ireland to gather around with Johnny for more of his grandly told tales of ancient Ireland.
