5 Useful Learning Experiences using your Computer that Cost Nothing

Learn about local history

Listen to guided historical walking tours of parts of Dublin and County. You can even easily save the guided tour to your computer so you can listen to it whenever you want. Or you also simply copy the guided tour into your MP3 player or your phone and have it ready to listen to whenever you are in that area. I have enjoyed fascinating private walking tours of Howth Head, Guinness Brewery, and Crokepark to name a few. Call us at 2849715 to find out more.
