Wicklow and Kilkenny whiskey experience

We booked a private group tour with Ireland Whiskey Tours for some friends visiting from Spain, and honestly it was spot on from start to finish. The Wicklow and Kilkenny route was really well put together, with gorgeous scenery, plenty of interesting history along the way, and a proper whiskey tasting thrown in. Gary was a cracking guide. Friendly, clearly knows his stuff, and genuinely passionate about Irish whiskey and the history behind it. He kept the whole day fun for everyone and made sur...read more

A great day out!

a Great day out! We booked a one-day tour with Ireland Whiskey Tours for some relatives visiting from abroad, and it turned out to be an amazing day. We were looking for a company to take us from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, with time to relax together, enjoy a few drinks, have lunch, and take in some great sightseeing—and it delivered on all fronts. The highlight was definitely our stop at the Cliffs of Moher, which were absolutely spectacular. A big thank you to Ireland Whiskey Tours for ...read more

Great full day tour on Dublins doorstep

The day with Gary was really a great experience for my wife and me. Gary provided interesting facts and figures about Ireland while he drove us out of Dublin and into the Wicklow Mountains. Amazing scenery just a short distance outside of the city. Gary recommended a beautiful hike/walk to see the lakes and waterfall in Glendalough. We were scheduled to tour the Powerscourt Distillery but as it turned out, the distillery was closed for a film shoot, with actors in period costumes and all...read more

Great Time For A Non Whiskey Drinker

I want to start by saying a huge thank you to Gary, Dereck, and Mike for putting on such an incredible tour. I’m not a whiskey drinker, but I joined some friends and had an absolutely amazing time. The amount of knowledge, passion, and care this team puts into what they do is simply impressive — I couldn’t tell you half as much about my own neighborhood as they shared about Ireland This tour was so much more than whiskey tasting. It was about great company, beautiful places most tourists never ...read more
