Come along with me on this unusual and memorable stroll back in time. Hear the stories about the hardships and how the Irish adapted to their new land. Listen to stories about some of the failures and triumphs in early politics of the Colony and most of all come and relive the Irish struggles to preserve their religion, culture and language.

This is the perfect tour if you have a little time to spare and you want a true sense of the Irish influence in Newfoundland. This unique "street seminar" will be informative educational and most of all entertaining.

Take your camera as this tour takes you off the beaten track and takes you to places that the tourists never experience.
