Private Shore Excursion Dublin with Guinness and Whiskey
Description
Your time in Dublin is brief, let's make the most of it! Experience the magic of Dublin City on this whiskey and beer adventure. We will meet you off your ship, you'll board our executive transportation and we depart for the city. Your Whiskey Specialist Host will keep you entertained en route to the Guinness neighbourhood. Most people visit Guinness Storehouse on a self-guided ticket. With us, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the attraction and a pint of 'the black stuff'. Afterwards, you will enjoy a private bespoke tour with whiskey tastings at Pearse Lyons Distillery. As Irish whiskey reclaims it’s place in the spirits world, you'll get a glimpse at this booming industry first hand! Later, we'll take you into the center of town for some free time to explore the city of Dublin. We'll of course guide you on where to have lunch and what to visit. Finally, we will return you to the harbour, ensuring you're back on board your ship in good time.

Sometimes, if the seas are a little choppy, the cruise company will cancel the tender at the last minute and you'll need to cancel the tour at the last minute.

The tour with John was great. The entire experience was professionally done. Black car, convenient pick ups and drop off. John is knowledgeable in all things beer, whiskey and Dublin. You get to see so much in an afternoon and he has everything planned out to see what is interesting, tailored to your preferences, and skip the less valued aspect. We have been on many private tours and this was among the top.
We booked as a big family of 15 , we wanted a special tour for just us and i can wholeheartedly stand over our decision to book this tour with John’s company , it was an amazing experience , so premium and well managed. We said if ever come back to Ireland , we’ll book everything through John - the whisky and the non-whisky tours!
Hi Suzanne, thank you so much for this wornderful review! It was lovely meeting you all, hope you've wonderful memories of your cruise adventure! Best wishes, John
This was bought for my father in law as a thank you gift and boy did we choose the right gift ! We are still talking about how great this tour was. John brought us to all the right sights, and David the driver was a hoot! This exceeded expectations.
Hi Jamie, thank you very much for this wonderful review! It was a real pleasure meeting you all. Thanks again for reviewing. Best wishes, John
As a thank you to our parents who brought us on a cruise, we wanted to give them a special gift in while in Dublin. Dad loves Guinness and Mom loves Jameson, this was the ideal gift! It was a little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. John was brilliant! We didn’t even had to worry about lunch he got us a great table at the last minute (for 15 of us!) at one of his favourite pubs.
Dear Vanessa - wow, what a headline! Thank you very much indeed Vanessa, so lovely meeting you all. Hope you're all keeping well (still on cruise if I recall correctly :)) Best wishes, John
Highly this tour and company if you visit Dublin on a cruise. John and driver David were at the port ready for us and took care of everything so that we could just relax and enjoy the day. Even the sun came out for the day!
Hi John, it was a great pleasure meeting you and your family, we both really enjoyed your company and are very grateful to you and your family for trusting us as your tour company for the brief time you had in Dublin. Very best wishes, John
John collected our family of 4 off our ship at a port in the suburbs of Dublin and we boarded a very sleek Mercedes mini-van. As we made our way to the city , he gave us a bite-sized history lesson of Ireland, perfectly fitting our brief time in the country. We had wonderful pit stops for whiskey and beer and he expertly showed around his city, making sure we saw what we should see with only a few hours in Dublin!!
Hi Brian! Great to hear from you and thank you so much for this great review. Hope you and your family are well and you've great memories of Ireland! Best wishes, John

Dear Renee. Thank you so much for your great review! It is much appreciated Renee, hope you're keeping well! Best wishes, John
We had an informative, hassle-free, and amazing private tour of Guiness and Pearse Lyons Distillery, in addition to getting great restaurant recommendations. Our guide made it all work to deliver a great experience. We highly recommend this private tour.
Hi Henry , thank you so much for this great review ! It was a real pleasure meeting you and Steven , hope your Ireland trip has gone great ! Best wishes , John
We cannot talk highly enough of John. He is so well connected, everyone knew him wherever we went! It was wonderful afternoon exploring the tastes of Dublin.
Hi Kieran , thank you for your very kind comments ! It was great meeting you , hope you had a great overall Ireland adventure ! Best wishes , John
We had a wonderful time in Ireland! Went to 15 distilleries from Dublin to Cork and up to Belfast. A great mix of small and large distilleries. John is very knowledgeable, interesting, friendly, and patient. He saw to it that we were enjoying ourselves, well fed, and educated in what goes into distilling. We were sad to have our tour end.
Hi Steve, thank you so much for this brilliant review, it was such a pleasure meeting you Steve. I went to the UK in style last weekend in my Fairfax CA shirt :) Thanks for the Tees, keep in touch! Best wishes, John
