I took my two Sons (23,25) to Dublin on the Guinness and Jamesons tour experience. We rarely spend any quality time together due to work commitments and living apart in different counties. The communication and direction prior to the event were excellent from the start. Once we met the Guide ( Brian ) it was a fantastic experience with memories we will treasure. Well worth pre booking and excellent value throughout.

This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Ketty was a phenomenal guide and so pleasant overall. We met other interesting travelers and learned a lot about Irish history and culture along the way. Ketty may have ruined us for future food tours.

Jamieson was preferred over Guinness but the tour guide and ability to skip the line made this tour well worth it.

Sylvie was amazing, best walking tour we’ve ever been on, made our trip to Dublin!

Great tour. Mark was an enthusiastic guide. Really enjoyed the cocktail portion.
