Extremely fun and informative!

Andrew, our guide, was outstanding! He was a wealth of knowledge about the history of not only Irish whiskey bu5 of Ireland as well. Our tour had only 9 people so we got to ask a bunch of questions and Andrew always had a response - usually prefaced with a quick Irish witticism. Oh, and the whiskey, chocolates, cheese and crackers were well worth the time and money! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Great whiskey, super informative, and really fun

Most important: we tasted so many interesting and delicious whiskeys on this tour, in a couple of great little whiskey bars in downtown Dublin. Our guide was really friendly knowledgeable, and walked us through the fascinating history of Irish whiskey making, and tasting notes and background of each of the whiskeys we tasted. It was a lot of fun: one of the highlights of our trip.

Perfect tour and awesome guid.

I booked this tour very spontaneously and was surprised about the high quality we revived. Our guides name was Andrew and he was awersome. The choice of bars and the whiskeys was great. The time was flying by and it was a wonderful experience! I would book this tour again immediately. Thank you very much, Andrew.
