And we can’t wait to come back to Dublin to repeat the visit to the places that Lisa showed us (well, we did the Irish coffee again, I must confess).”

“It’s an advanced whiskey tasting. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and went through everything thoroughly and was passionate. The pace is nice, two locations visited and 3 tastings at first 2 at second. Good recommendations and inside information. My only suggestion would be to add micro breaks to the tour, the guide talked for the entire 2.5 hour tour, it would be nice to get a break to process the information and chat and enjoy the snack.”

Taste Galway through seafood chowder, Irish dishes, ice cream, and pub drinks while walking the city with local guide Gerry.

“Our time with Gerry was grand. We met up with him and he took us to some fun and quaint locations. Some of these spots were places we had considered going on our own. The food was great as was the conversation at the table. While walking off the calories, Gerry gave us some history of places we passed. An overall great way to spend the afternoon. I will consider an earlier time to start if possible as the 2:30 tour is right between lunch and dinner. We made due however. The food we ate set us up for a great Happy Hour at the end of the tour. Thanks…”
