We went on this tour early Dec.2019. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if I’d enjoy this, since I didn’t think I liked Guinness. What I hadn’t expected was the sheer delight of rollicking thru the hillsides and twisty country lanes chauffeured by a hilarious and charming leprechaun, disguised as a fellow named Shane. He beguiled us with tales and tunes and converted me into a Guinness lover by delivering my first Guinness and black, which is now my favorite beer. What an unforgettable night filled with Irish music and pubs full of singing and laughter! We’ll be looking Shane up again our next visit to Dublin!

I could not recommend something more, in the whole of Ireland. Tony was hands down the most informative, personable, and funny tour guide I could have hoped for. We learned so much more than your average tour, and got to do it while learning about each other and having a great time in general. I felt like we were just walking around with friends while also learning so much about Ireland’s past, present, history, culture, and more. Tony answered any and every question we had and gave us so many other places to see and visit while here. The tour was amazing!

I loved these tours. Took them back in April of 2019. The first tour I took was a walking tour of Dublin. Ciaran was the tour guide. He was a total history buff and made the tour super interesting. The next day I went on a tour to a seaside village called Howth. I had a tour guide named Stephen. He was very cool and even preformed Shakespeare in the woods for his group. I hope to take these tours again one day.

1st let me say that Ketty was a very interesting person and very knowledgeable. The reason i have only rated this 2 stars is that for the cost of $75 USD we had been treated to very little in the way of foods. The stop for Irish stew was great as we got to sample more than a thimble full of something. That was nice. the other places with the other exception of the oysters where many people opted not to try them was also good. The rest was simply not worth the amount of money the tour cost per person. I would not be able to recommend this tour to anyone unfortunately.

I wish I had not booked this through Tripadvisor. The communication was terrible. I had many questions about the tour but was told very little until the last minute, and ended up only going on half of the tour because of what I discovered what it was about. The tour guide we ended up with was great, but I wish I had been told ahead of time what to expect and I would have booked it and planned it a lot differently had I been aware. Next time I will try to go directly through the tour company to book it.
