Great Time! Highly Recommend! - The Sip and Stroll Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Dublin. We had a complete blast and learned a lot about the history of not only Irish whiskey, but the Liberties neighborhood as well. Derek is super knowledgeable, friendly, and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend!

Sip & Stroll whiskey tour - Couldn’t recommend the Sip & Stroll tour highly enough! Our tour guide Patrick was brilliant, he really knew his stuff about whiskey and had all the local knowledge about the area. The tour itself is really well organised with great whiskeys to taste and lovely pubs.

Great afternoon in Dublin - This tour was amazing. We only had a few short days in Dublin and this was a fantastic way to see and experience parts of town that we never would have found. Patrick was an outstanding guide sharing stories about the buildings and the history of the area, as well as teaching us about Irish Whisky and the history of the industry. It was a small group - so we got to know each other during the tour and Patrick and his engaging delivery and sense of humor made the time fly by.

Patrick has a plan! - Patrick Fox was a great guide and so informative! He was very knowledgeable on the whiskey we had and my husband liked his overall personality. I liked he didn’t mind we were a bit behind because of traffic. Would do this again next visit to Dublin! Highly recommend

An incredible Dublin experience - This was a fantastic experience. Derek is a brilliant guide and we had the best time with him. He takes you off the beaten path to some incredible old pubs, you taste some delicious whiskeys and his knowledge, stories and anecdotes are just incredible. I cannot recommend this enough and when we are back we will try some of the other tours on offer. Such an amazing treat!
