Without exception, if you love history, storytelling and whiskey, this tour and Grainne is the winner-hands down. Funny, so interesting and so much about Irish history, a highlight so far. My wife and I met another couple on the tour. Can t wait to buy some duty free Irish whiskey at the airport on our way home.

We were introduced to some fine whiskeys that we were not familiar with. We also found the pub choices to be very nice, plus, we were able to seclude our group from the other patrons. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The food pairings were also very good. The only complaint was that the pour at the last pub was barely a taste where we felt we got our money’s worth at the first two pubs.

I had this tour planned on my first day in Dublin and I'm very happy I did. Grainne was an incredible guide. She was very knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and food an amazing job keeping us happy and entertained. Oh and the food and the whiskey were incredible too. I definitely recommend the tour!

We done the Dublin Wine and tapas tour last weekend and although my mum and I were the only 2 in the group we were not disappointed. Hannah our lovely tour guide was amazing, it felt like we were having food and drinks with a friend..thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and all of the history on the city. Food and wine were amazing..would definately recommend this tour

Thank you to Lara our wonderful guide! We had a great night and enjoyed some delicious food and drinks. A friend told us about this tour and it was well worth it. My sister and brother in law were delighted to discover some hidden gems in their home town. Lara was so friendly and genuine. Thanks again!

Our tour guide was amazingly knowledgeable about different local facts which is amazing! We had our food served promptly when we arrived to each of the three locations. Only about a 10-15 minute walk between locations; we had a mixed group up to retired folks age and they were ok so nothing too far or exasperating. Would definitely do again!

Powers has been the hidden gem of Irish whiskey, and the Powers Quarter tour, led by Michael Carr, only further proves that. His passion for the brand, his in depth knowledge of the history, the signature serves and the wonderful bars all serve to showcase Ireland’s finest whiskey. Highly recommended.

Couldn't think of a nicer way to meet people, eat great food and enjoy walking around Dublin. Our guide was amazing and had fantastic anecdotes about Dublin. Will definitely do it again and bring a different bunch of people

Over Saint Patrick's Day weekend, Paul and Niamh hosted our party of ten for a customized whiskey/food tour. They took us to places we never would have known about, i.e., the hidden bar between the barbershop and Market Bar, ensured that we had a variety of great whiskey to taste, and great food to accompany the tasting (oysters by special request)! We had a wonderful time touring the Powers Quarter with Paul and Niamh. Paul and Niamh were funny, informative guides with great insight into the history of Powers Whiskey, and the city of Dublin.

Took the tour in January. We were lucky it was a bright evening. We began with the most delicious Irish coffee in The Oak, from there we were taken through a wormhole in space to a realm of nostalgia, sadness, good times and all things Powers whiskey. Michael is a stellar whiskey ambassador and a passionate guide. We visited the Thomas house, Fallon's, The Swan and finally Idlewild. Great pubs and delicious drinks.

What a wonderful experience. We visited the original site of distillery now housing the National College of Art and Design where the original (at the time state of the Art) buildings are still, excuse the pun, in place. We tried this uniquely Irish whiskey in several very different pubs sometimes in cocktails sometimes on its own, and a wonderful amazing Irish Coffee. Each a delight in itself. From obviously “local” pubs with dedicated customers to city centre well heeled fashionable cocktail bars. Each location had its own story in the long history of Powers, from the Great Fire of Dublin, the birth of the miniature bottle that is now in every hotel minibar, yep folks Powers whiskey pioneered this and was the first distillery in the world to bottle its whiskey. Powers and Dublin are intrinsically linked in this tour. Favourite place was The Swan Bar drinking the wonderful full bodied creamy Powers Johns Lane whiskey while looking out on a misty wistful Dublin afternoon. Loved the Dublin Toasty too. Our guide was the vivacious Neeve and next time I raise a glass I’ll use this new salutation “More Power To Your Elbow”

A tour mixing rich history with premium whiskey, what a delight. Tour was at a lovely pace where we absorb the Dublin landscape before sampling some of it's great whiskey. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Can’t recommend this more highly. I get back to Dublin a couple of times a year and sometimes have some non Irish friends/family with me and when I do it’s great to bring them along on something like this. You get to learn a bit about history in Dublin you didn’t know, taste some great whisky and have some great craic with the tour guide and everyone else on the tour.

Great afternoon spent learning about Dublin with Justine. The food was awesome and it was nice to learn about Dublin along the way. There was plenty to eat and drink and didn't feel hungry at all at the end of it. Loved Justines Irish sense of humour and would recommend it to anyone!

I scheduled my tapas trail for possibly the rainiest day we've had in Dublin since the previous Winter! While the thought did cross my mind to ditch the wellies and reach for my slippers instead, I braved the elements and was very glad I made the effort. Jill (out tour guide) was super friendly and enthusiastic throughout and shared insights into local Irish history, hidden gems, and other potential sights to explore that, even as a native Dub, I was unaware of! Her passion for food, history & people was clearly evident. The food & drink we experienced along the way was delicious and varied. The rain was barely even noticed. I'd definitely recommend the tapas trail if you're looking to spend a few hours experiencing Dublin with a native's insight and enjoying some tasty food along the way.
