Ive done this tour before but it was a very long time ago. It has changed a bit since the brewing on site has stopped. Nonetheless it was a very enjoyable experience. The tour guide was exceptional. His level of knowledge was unbelievable. I think his name was Evan, I hope I got that right but credit where its due. He was top.

Fascinating up-close look at masterful craftsmanship
This was a fantastic tour. The group size wasn't too big, the guide did a great job, and seeing the craftsmen and women working was mesmerizing. I had no idea we would be so close to them! The tour moved at a comfortable pace, with time for us to take a closer look at each stop. I went with a reluctant friend, who didn't have any particular interest, but by the end of the tour they were enjoying it as much as I was! Definitely worth the (quite reasonable) admission price. Just fascinating.

Amazing and unique way to experience Ireland!
I must start by saying Graham is amazing. My husband and I were traveling in Ireland to celebrate our 15th anniversary, and the day of our tour was cold and pouring rain. So, a typical Irish day? Ha! I was worried about catching a cold and just not enjoying the experience, but Graham was able to move us to the next day, which was absolutely gorgeous. We were willing to take the loss and pay for a new booking, so what he did was truly amazing and so kind.Now onto the experience itself. We had Eoin and Rian as our guides, and they were great. Eoin's humor put me at ease and made the experience a lot of fun. The only part I can critique is the relaunch after our halfway rest with hot chocolate. The waves were a bit rough, and we were left to fend for ourselves while everyone else was paddling away. One wave actually knocked my husband down under the kayak. Rian finally came back and helped get us on the water, but we were both a little shook up by the experience. But it certainly didn't ruin the day! The entire tour was fantastic and well worth the cost.Tips: Wear water shoes or rent the booties - you will get wet! Bring your own waterproof camera case or purchase one for photos. Wear sunscreen even if it's cloudy! Use a cord on your glasses or sunnies so you don't lose them to the sea.
