Slainte! A must see tour for whisky drinkers! - Such a great way to get your basics of Irish whisky. Guide Lydia gave a exellent personal addition on well built tour, and even for a bit more expereinced whisky enthusiastic learnt a thing or two. And after the tour bar had splendid selection of more special bottlings for those who are famililar with core Irish whisky range. And as non affiliate width of all Irish whisky distillieris was the thing separating this from a single distillery tour. Worth of every penny!

A Fantastic Whiskey Experience - Our visit to the Irish Whiskey Museum was fantastic. Our guide Matthew shared fascinating historical tidbits and insights into the whiskey-making process. Matthew's enthusiasm and charm made the tour not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. During the tasting session at the end Matthew guided us through a diverse selection of whiskeys, explaining the unique flavors and characteristics of each one with passion and clarity. I highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in whiskey or looking for a fun day out in Dublin. Thanks again to Matthew and the Irish Whiskey Museum team for a stellar experience!

Hidden prize in dublin - We just happened to pass by this museum and went inside. So glad we did! Nothing boring about this tour. The guide was very witty and informative and the time flew by. There is a tasting at the end of the tour if you want to do that. So glad we decided to check it out!

Great for both whiskey and non-whiskey drinkers - Tour was both interesting and fun (for any non-whiskey folks), while featuring standard whiskeys and a nicer version on the premium tour. Andrew was a great guide and made it inclusive for all types of attendees. Would recommended for all Ireland visitors

Vivacious guide and a lot of energy - Matthew was an awesome tour guide! Vivacious and knowledgeable, entertaining as hell! You can tell he genuinely likes what he does for a living, and he doesn’t treat his guests like strangers. We’re from Texas, and felt right at home with him. I highly recommend taking the tour for the facts, little side stories, and of course the whiskey tasting! Delicious.
