“Steve was friendly, very informative and entertaining. In all of my visits to Dublin I’ve never managed to make time to see the Jeanie Johnston and I’m so glad I did. I learned a lot about the famine and an important part of Irish history and enjoyed exploring the ship. Thank you, Steve! ”

“Can't say enough about our tour. On the deck, our guide talked about the events that led to the large emigration in the mid-19th century. Below deck, the guide talked about life on the ship and why everyone (100%!) survived the Jeanie's passages. Definitely recommend the tour. Book in advance!” ”
