History and Skill
A good insight to the history and craftsmanship of Waterford Crystal. The guide was friendly and we didn't feel rushed. Got to see some rare, fabulous and very expensive crystal works of art.

Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking TourJSK6890, Sep 2026
Top notch!
Literally the highlight of a great trip to Dublin. It was interesting and informative and the guide Barry could not have been better. Do this at the beginning of the trip and you will be so glad you did.

New York City
City Sightseeing Dublin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus TourRobert_M, Sep 2026
Great economical tour to escape the city!
Great 1/2 day trip to see the coastal town of Howth. Excellent narration and driving by the driver. We were dropped off at the summit and got to walk downhill into town and view the beautiful coast line. Had ample time to eat and shop before the short drive back to Dublin city center

New York City
Dublin Literary Pub Crawl68nanettea, Sep 2026
A fun excuse for a pub crawl!
As soon as they brought out the black hats I knew we were in for a little Beckett! This wonderful tour through the literary landscape of Dublin was highly entertaining and informative. Frank and Finnbar brought the great Irish works to life so that even our friends who were less interested in literature greatly enjoyed the evening (full disclosure, I led with the pub crawl and later mentioned it was literary) It was also a fun way to visit several pubs and enjoy the local brews. 5/5 would recommend.

Guinness Storehouse ExperienceSteve1471, Sep 2026
You'll see it in every Pub, now see how they make it!
We had a nice walk to the Storehouse - it's massive! You can see the tasting room at the top from a good distance. The tour itself is self-paced, loaded with information, some interactive bits, and period films, such as how the made wooden kegs. All very interesting. We bought the full experience which include a pint in the tasting room - we had a typical September day in Ireland, clear so you could see the harbor to the hills, then a bit of quick rain, but really, it was fun. A tip - many non-drinkers pass around their slips for a free beer, so if your agile, you can have a few nice pints!

Great way to know the basics of Dublin
Anne was our driver and guide, she was awesome. Gave a fun and engaging tour of the city. Worth every penny and then some.

Haunted Tour was awesome, guide was a talker and soooo knowledgeable about Dublin history. Ended up with travel delays and was able to contact owners, who were so kind to reschedule us for a different night!

Haunted Dublin Walking TourNicole_H, Sep 2026
Worth it!
Our guide was funny! This was my favorite part of my trip. I had just flown in from the US and was exhausted, however this woke me up. We went around the city and learned some cool/scary facts about the city.

Guinness Storehouse Experiencecamrafan, Sep 2026
Excellent 'Brewery Premium Experience' tour with Keith
Excellent tour with Keith! We had a fantastic time on the 'Guinness Brewery Premium Experience' and would highly recommend this to anyone keen to learn about Guinness, and enjoy visiting several parts of the site that are usually unavailable to visitors. The experience also included pouring your own pint of Guinness and a hearty lunch in the onsite 1837 restaurant which was a very nice way to round out the tour and speak with the other guests.Overall the experience was about 4 hours with the first couple of hours touring around the older buildings on the site, with one of the highlights being the Roast House! Keith was very accommodating to any questions and it was possible to take photos throughout the tour. Given the inevitably corporate nature of Guinness, the tour was still steeped in history and we were very valued as guests at the brewery. It was quite a small group and compared to the crowds of visitors waiting to go to the Gravity Bar outside it was a luxury to spend time in more of a relaxed atmosphere throughout the experience.The tour also included a free beer at the Gravity Bar at the end of the session and although there are good views from the bar this was the least enjoyable part of the experience as it was extremely busy there with no where to sit down.Overall this was a fantastic experience and being able to see and experience some of the actual brewing process on site, and ask any questions, alongside the more interactive parts of pouring your own pint and enjoying the meal, it was a really well-rounded visit. Thanks again to Keith for the fantastic passion and knowledge on Guinness!

We had a great day and...
We had a great day and blessed with perfect weather for mid September. Choices of bike, horse and cart or mini van to tour the island in a few hours available at the harbour. We enjoyed the banter by our driver/guide Tony who was very enthusiastic about the merits of this limestone based island.The trip back via Cliffs of Moher was spectacular and a lovely contrast to seeing them from above.My daughter and I enjoyed this trip immensely.

Big Bus tour is the best tour
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! Both the day time tour and night time tour are amazing. I would recommend doing both tbh as we did a different route on the night time compared to the day so it was really interesting - also amazing to see Dublin at night! The lights are gorgeous!!
Mike was our guide - he was so so funny and also so knowledgeable. We really enjoyed ourselves and it was great hearing Mikes jokes and extra facts we hadn’t heard before - thanks Mike !
I’d defo recommend this I know we will be doing it again.
