Positives:

  • Indoor and accessible: All floors are reachable by lift, making it easy with strollers or on rainy days.
  • Central location: Located at Trinity College entrance, you can combine with a college visit or nearby shops.

Challenges:

  • No dedicated kids’ area: There is no play zone, so younger children may lose interest after the first room.
  • Tour pace: Guided tours last around an hour and include some narrow stair sections.

I thought we are able to try to most famous whiskey but we ha...

Brien was hilarious and informative. He kept us smiling and laughing. The history was interesting and after having done the Jameson Tour earlier in the week, it was a nice refresher of how whiskey is made and a richer history of the process in Ireland. Thank you for the memories!

I am not really a whiskey lover, but I had a fabulous time! Our guide, Daniel, was lovely and also very funny. The tour goes by quickly a then, of course you get to taste some "live water" as they say. Might be a bit touristic, but I would definitely recommend it, because it is not as expensive as other atractions and you actually learn something new.

A very special thank you to our incredible guide — a true star! She w...
