What people are saying about Temple Bar

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 a terrific tour, highly recommend when coming to Dublin. The Jameson tour guide was exceptional and her enthusiasm was infectious. She truly loved her job and ensured all participants had an awesome time. The overall guide Neil was very knowledgeable, fun and very accommodating. He ensured all travelers had a memorable visit to both distilleries as well as learned about the history and people of Ireland.

Fantastic whiskey with delicious cheeses and chocolate pairings. Our guide was professional and very informative, his informal chat was fun too. Would definitely recommend.

Verry well guided tour with Neil and im so happy that icelandairs are not the only one in the world that are so proud of their heritage

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