Niall our tour guide was a very knowledgeable and a bit of a character. He was entertaining to say the least and made the day fun. <br />Took us to a great little cafe for lunch to fill up before we did the whiskey & Guinness tours.

The itinerary is thoughtful and well planned. You really can see Dublin in a day on this tour! Most of all, we loved our tour guide, Niall! Not only was he friendly and extremely knowledgeable, but he was also wonderful and patient with our young kids. He is also a foodie (like us) and had great restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed our time on this tour and would highly recommend it!
