Amazing!

Hannah was our tour guide and we learned so much about Dublin from her. She's really very passionate about her country and that's what you want when someone's showing you around their hood! Loved the tour of Trinity College and the Book of Kells Experience. Of course, we loved the Whiskey and Guinness tour as well. We booked 3 tours during our 4 days in Ireland and this one was our fave.

Amazing!

Hannah was a wonderful tour guide who was extremely informative and willing to answer any of our questions. This was the perfect way to start off our tour of Ireland! All of the main points of interest were included. Ended with a pint of Guinness and 360 degree view of the city. What more could you ask for. We met a wonderful couple from Washington State and lost them in the Guinness storehouse at the end. If you read this, it was great meeting you guys! Your friends from Wisconsin! Thanks again, Hannah!

Amazing!

We took this tour on our first full-day in Dublin, and it was an excellent way to learn about the city and its history. Our guide, Hannah, was excellent. She was energetic, personable, and knowledgeable. Out tour include the Book of Kells, the Old Library, the Dublin Castle, St. Patrick's in the morning and then a tour of the Teeling Distillery and Guinness in the afternoon. Ending up on the seventh floor of The Guinness Storehouse with a pint of freshly brewed Guinness was certainly an excellent way to end the day. We covered a lot of ground and learned a lot of history; I only wished that we had more time to go into the Castle and St. Patrick's. IN order to do that, we had to go back to these places, and we simply ran out of time to do that. I thought going inside was included in the tour, so I guess my one caveat is to read the fine print. Still, this was an excellent way to see the city.
