Jameson distillery with Guinness experience was awesome. Totally a must when in Dublin. In Jameson, the tasting experience was superb as well as the walk theough thw history and process... loved it. Our guide for the full tour, Niall, was fun, full of insights and great stories along the way. The tram was an unexpected and beautiful add. Also, the couple of stop in downtown before hitting Guinness were enjoyable and gave even more charm to the visit. Learning from the old distilleries, the stories behind the buildings and neighborhoods was perfect!!

Both the Jameson distillery and the Guinness storehouse are great historical locations with great history however what made this tour was our tour guide Niall McGinnis.... he brought so much rich, local knowledge and history to the experience and was really a highlight of the tour.

The best part of the whole experience was our guide, Seamus. He knows his stuff with telling us about Jameson, Guinness, and everything in between. You can tell that he loves what he does, he loves where he loves and is proud of the culture and history. Learning about the distilleries was wonderful as well as learning about different landmarks between them. Would definitely recommend!

    Our guide was excellent but was not where we expected to meet him. Also we did not realize this was a walking tour in between the two venues as this was not listed on your site.
