Itinerary
Located in the heart of Smithfield, the Jameson Distillery Bow St. is the historic home of Irish whiskey. Since 1780, this site has been the beating heart of Dublin’s distilling legacy. Today, it’s a world-class destination where you can walk the original cobblestones, learn the secrets of the triple-distillation process, and—most importantly—enjoy a tutored tasting.
No trip to Dublin is complete without a pint of red ale at The Brazen Head. Established in 1198, this is the city's oldest pub and a true sanctuary of Irish culture.
Continue your journey into the heart of Dublin's nightlife at a hand-picked traditional Irish pub. Go behind the scenes to learn the art of pouring the perfect pint of Guinness and join the locals in the ultimate 'Split the G' challenge. Surrounded by the soulful sounds of live traditional music, you’ll dive deep into the city's legendary 'craic' and experience a Dublin night exactly as the locals do.

Sean was an excellent guide! We had a ball! The tour of Jamison was informative and just long enough and the pubs that Sean took us to head authentic Irish music as well as some dancing. We had a great time.
The only thing that my father wanted to do in Dublin was to listen to traditional Irish music while having some delicious Irish food in a pub. This tour gave him that and more. Our tour guide took the time to get to know what we were looking for and took us to a pub that had the best food we had on the entire trip. The Jameson tour was also very interesting, but it was having a Guinness with the music and atmosphere of a traditional pub that made the night.
Thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review! Reading your comments truly made our day. We are especially touched to hear that one of your father's biggest wishes while visiting Dublin was to enjoy traditional Irish music alongside great Irish food in an authentic pub, and that our tour was able to make that experience a reality. Our guides love getting to know their guests and tailoring recommendations to their interests whenever possible, so we're delighted that your guide took the time to understand what you were looking for and introduced you to a pub that turned out to serve the best meal of your entire trip. Those authentic local experiences are often the moments that become the most treasured travel memories. We're also pleased that you enjoyed the Jameson Distillery experience and learning about Ireland's famous whiskey-making tradition. Combined with an evening spent listening to live traditional Irish music while enjoying a perfectly poured pint of Guinness in one of Dublin's historic pubs, it truly captures the warmth, hospitality, and spirit that make Ireland so special. Thank you again for choosing LetzGo City Tours. It was our privilege to share such a memorable evening with you and your father, and we hope those wonderful memories stay with you for many years to come.

Sean was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable, fun to be around, and helpful. He added lots of additional facts about our surroundings and was very entertaining. Lovely Irish accent.
