Mémorable expérience
What an experience. It was something totally different. Conor was a fantastic tour guide. Great storytelling, actors and a bit of spookiness. It was a day we will remember thank you

Fantastic tour - suitable for all ages!
Fantastic couple of hours walking through the woods by Leap learning about Samhain and local folklore. Our guide, Conor, was a fabulous storyteller and made sure the tour was both insightful and enjoyable!

Great tour!
Brilliant tour with amazing story telling. I learned a good few things about the Irish traditions and legends of Samhain that I didn't know. Not just for kids, a great experience for any adults interested in Irish folklore and legends too. A fantastic way to keep the stories alive. Will certainly book some of the other tours in future!

10/10 A Scare at Samhain
We took the short trip to Leap to experience A Scare at Samhain. What a fabulous experience. Conors storytelling and knowledge of local folklore is an absolute joy. The setting, costumes and props are really well thought out and you get properly sucked into the whole experience. My kids can't stop talking about it

Go for it.
Went on a roadtrip to Leap to see teh Scarecrow festival and found this online. Made a booking, and very happy that we did. Its a super littel outing. The whole setup - from teh costumes, to the stories, to the tea and cake after. Certainly well worth it. Thank you Conor and family. I look forward to booking one of your otehr walks.

Wonderful experience
My dad and I had such an incredible experience with Conor! We did their bike tour as well as A Scare At Samhain. On both tours we learned captivating stories that gave so much depth to our experience of Ireland. Conor is a wonderful storyteller and a wealth of knowledge. We’re so glad we found these tours and highly recommend them!
