The Whiskey Museum was quite interesting. Each part of the tour is in a different setting and our guide was very knowledgeable and eagerly answered any questions we had. It was fun to learn how to correctly taste whiskey and the whiskey itself was very good.

I loved this tour. Guide Andrew was passionate, knowledgeable. Andrew’s storytelling was amazing. The tour overall was incredibly well designed. The Whiskeys of the tasting experience were great and representative. This tour is a must-do activity for Dublin visitors.

We really enjoyed this tour! It was very informative and our guide, Lydia, kept us entertained throughout the experience while sharing great information on the history of Irish whiskey. My friend and I had fun tasting the various whiskies, and the store has a great selection for purchasing after the tour. If you aren’t familiar with Irish whiskey or even if you are this is a great way to kick off any visit to Dublin!

Hailey was our guide, we was fantastic! We had so much fun! ………… minimum character limit for a review is really odd though.
Samuel_B, Mar 2025
Extremely informative. Our guide, Linda(?), was absolutely amazing. She was funny and knew everything we wanted to know. I will definitely be back with friends next time.
Katie_S, Mar 2025
A tour guide from a different Wild Rover let us know that the Jameson Distillery is a display and they don't actually distill whiskey at their Bow St location in Dublin. We decided to cancel our Jameson tour and do this instead. We got to learn the history of whiskey and try some delicious local whiskey that aren't available in the USA. Hayley our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!!!
Valerie_R, Mar 2025
Ask for Hailey if at all possible... by far best story teller and overall experience on tours in Ireland.
Arminius_O, Feb 2025
