From the moment you walk in you realise that Jamesons and the tour are next level. The host and digital tour was world class. Never seen anything quite like it , ending with a tasting of their finest and one for the road on the way out.

Jameson distillery with Guinness experience was awesome. Totally a must when in Dublin. In Jameson, the tasting experience was superb as well as the walk theough thw history and process... loved it. Our guide for the full tour, Niall, was fun, full of insights and great stories along the way. The tram was an unexpected and beautiful add. Also, the couple of stop in downtown before hitting Guinness were enjoyable and gave even more charm to the visit. Learning from the old distilleries, the stories behind the buildings and neighborhoods was perfect!!
