Our trip to Dublin was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Dublin is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond National Museum of Ireland — Archaeology and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour alone was worth the trip, but combined with Malahide Castle this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
