When in Dublin this is a must. Ticket came with a tasting mini pint, a non alcoholic pint and one full pint at the Gravity Bar. Interesting self guided tour. it would be even cool if you actually tour the factory and see the actual making of it for real.

The Guinness Storehouse is really worth visiting. The experience was great — it’s a self-guided tour starting from the lower ground all the way up to Level 7. Truly amazing, and it completely changed my perception of stout. It’s not as bitter as I thought and actually very smooth and enjoyable. One thing they taught us was not to sip, but to take a generous gulp to fully appreciate the taste. I really enjoyed myself and spent about 1.5 hours there 🍺

Recent days in Dublin have been rainy, and I was worried about today's trip, but thankfully, it didn't rain this morning. Although the temperature was low, around zero degrees Celsius, a double-decker bus was still full of tourists from various countries. The driver, who was also the tour guide, was very humorous, and from the moment we got on the bus, he was constantly counting heads, providing various explanations, and driving, diligently taking care of the tour members all day. The whole itinerary was compact and fulfilling, and the tour members were all very friendly. From the Cliffs of Moher...Fanore Beach (enjoying lunch at a century-old restaurant)...Burren Geopark...Galway city center (free time for shopping), we returned to Dublin city center at around 7:00 PM. On the way back, we even encountered snow flurries in the rain and saw a different kind of beautiful scenery! This trip booked on Klook was cost-effective, truly reliable, and worth recommending!

A hundred points to the tour guide Oli and driver Brian! Oli is a young man, but he has a very deep understanding of Irish history. He vividly and easily introduces the background and history of one attraction after another, even explaining the common Irish surname "O'", and how the surname came about. Moreover, his accent is not heavy at all. As a Hong Konger, I can understand more than 80% of what he says. Being able to clearly understand the historical background and jokes really adds to the trip! The scenery is beautiful, and the small towns are rustic. Although the main focus of going to Kilkenny is to see the castle, I highly recommend that everyone also take the time to visit St. Mary's Cathedral. Admission is free, and there are not many tourists because most of them go to the castle. The church has a large space, is sacred and solemn, yet doesn't lack a sense of life. It is a real church where you can sit anywhere, and there are people praying and lighting candles inside. The statues and murals inside are very delicate and worth spending time to visit. I also strongly recommend that everyone take a walk in the streets and alleys. It's a stark contrast to Dublin, not as busy, and the residents feel more relaxed. This whole tour really allows you to slow down, and there is enough time to visit each attraction. It is definitely not the type where you get off the bus for a minute to take a photo. The driver also told us jokes on the way back to liven up the atmosphere. This price is really great value for money. There is a dedicated person to explain everything, the bus is spacious, and you can get on and off in the city center. I will definitely recommend my friends to come again!

Such an amazing day trip! The Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and Belfast were all stunning, but the real highlight was how well the tour was run. Mark was a brilliant guide — funny, informative, and easy to listen to. You could tell he truly loves what he does, and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. Thomas, our driver, was excellent too — smooth driving, super professional, and made the whole journey feel relaxed and safe. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it. It’s 100% worth it and a great way to see some of Northern Ireland’s most iconic spots.

Without a doubt, this is an experience everyone should have if they go to Dublin. It's not just about having a beer; it's an interactive museum where they teach you how to truly taste beer and see why it's so famous.

Wicklow is absolutely worth visiting, even in the cold winter months. The bare mountains, still lakes, and quieter surroundings give the area a calm, reflective beauty, with far fewer crowds. Despite the cold, the horse-riding experience was enjoyable and well managed, making it a great activity even for beginners and a lovely way to take in the scenery. The experience was made even better by Derrick, our tour guide, who was both friendly and hilarious, adding warmth and humour to the journey. This trip felt more like an introduction to Wicklow than a one-time visit, and it left me keen to return in another season to experience the landscape in a different light.
