We thoroughly enjoyed our... - We thoroughly enjoyed our whiskey tour with John. Our focus originally had been to tour Tullamore Dew since we are from San Francisco and use that whiskey to make our Irish coffees after having many from the famous Buena Vista Cafe; however we enjoyed the juxtaposition of touring a very old distillery (Kilbeggan) with a much more modern (Tullamore Dew). Visiting Sean’s Bar was a treat and we had a very enjoyable lunch on our own in Athlone that John had recommended. The pacing of the tour was excellent and John provided the perfect balance of historical commentary when driving and leaving us time on the individual tours. Would highly recommend!

Best Whiskey Tasting Tour - John with Whiskey Island is the best tour guide! We had an amazing day out in the Irish countryside with a very kind and knowledgeable host. Three delicious whiskey tastings and a great lunch & good company. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore Ireland for the first time. Pickup was super smooth and the day never felt rushed. We'll definitely be back next trip. Thanks for a great day!

A Class Act all the way! - We did several distillery visits with Irish Whiskey Tours & Tastings, and we found John to be helpful, knowledgeable, and a real professional. If you're looking to visit several Irish distillers and need someone to help you put your group tour together, he's the best in the business!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish - I really have to thank John for making this experience unforgettable. The tour was super safe and always on time. We had enough time to tour the different distilleries and we could go to the oldest bar in the world. In the tullamore distillery I was received in the best way and on top of that I was the only one. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you so much for everything! I recommend it 100%
