Jameson & Guinness Tour
This was a great experience. The Jameson Distillery Tour was more personal, small group and tailored to the history of Jameson Whiskey. Nile is an amazing story teller. The Guinness Tour is more of an amusement park style experience with lots of people, but still a nice tour about the history of Guiness and its impact on thr city of Dublin and Ireland as a whole. Neil was a great guide and knows a lot about Guinness. The tour included a quick stop at The Brazen Head Pub.

Dublin Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Food Tastings & Drinks
AURA_D, Sep 2026
Good food tour guide very knowledgeable
What an absolutely fantastic experience! The Historical Food & Drinks Tour was one of the highlights of my time in Dublin. It was so much more than simply tasting food and drinks—it was a wonderful journey through the history, culture, flavors, and stories that make Dublin such a special city.Every stop had something unique to offer, and I loved learning the history behind the places we visited while enjoying delicious traditional food and drinks along the way. The combination of storytelling, local culture, hidden gems, and authentic flavors made the experience unforgettable.Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, warm, and genuinely passionate about Dublin. The stories brought the city to life and made us feel like we were experiencing Dublin from a local’s perspective rather than simply visiting as tourists.If you’re coming to Dublin, I highly recommend this tour. Come hungry, curious, and ready to enjoy yourself! It is the perfect combination of history, great food, good drinks, laughter, and Irish hospitality.Five stars aren’t enough! ☘️🇮🇪🍻

Independent Cliffs of Moher Half Day Trip from Galway
LLogue, Sep 2026
Fantastic!
An absolutely fantastic and safe trip with my husband to see the Cliffs of Moher. Our tour guide Mark was fantastic. He shared stories of Ireland along the way which made everything much more enjoyable. We had to grab a train back to Dublin later that afternoon so we loved having the option of a half day/morning tour. He got us back plenty of time to grab lunch in Galway and catch our 3pm train. Highly recommend!

Dingle Sea Safari – Rib boat tour in Dingle Bay
T432HMjeffs, Sep 2026
Highlight of our Trip
The highlight of our Ireland trip! Was originally booked for the next day, but bad weather was predicted so I asked for a switch and was offered morning of preious day, which had incredible weather. I (68) sat in the front row with wife behind me and loved every minute of it, especially stepping up onto the bow platform and watched the many dolphis swimming and leaping right next to us. Incredible up-close (30 feet) views of the cliffs of the Great Blasket Islands. Collem did a great job as our guide, even stayed out longer to try to find us a whale.

Our guide was Kerry, such an amazing, lovely, knowledgeable and enthusiastic person! She told us of the history of Cork and its old canals that made it known as the Venice of Ireland. Those canals are now the streets and alleys of Cork, which gives the city a quaint character. The English Market was amazing, with great samples of seafood and chocolate. We ended the tour at a lovely pub where we enjoyed cheeses and shared stories. A definite ‘must do’ in Cork!

Best Tour of my Ireland Vacation
This was our favorite tour of our two week vacation to Ireland. Part of what made it special was our driver and guide Des Murphy. He was outstanding. The countryside speaks for itself with the beauty and antiquity of the environment. But Des provided us with new knowledge and a deeper understanding of the Irish people, their culture and struggle through the years. If you are trying to decide between Ring of Kerry and this tour, do this one.
