"I've taken this tour with Brian and it's an amazing time! Brian is very knowledgeable in the rich history of both Whiskey and Ireland herself. I loved the mix of things included on this tour - everything from lush, green scenery to the bustling hub of Dublin, and the crash of the sea at the Cliffs of Moher (my personal favorite). The B&B's included in your package are very accommodating and clean with friendly hosts. The Distillery tours offer both the history of Ireland as well as the drink we have all come to appreciate and love - the special attention that you'll only get with Brian's tour should not be missed!"
