I can only recommend this trip for anyone interested in Whiskey and the tasting was really nice too. Thanks a lot!”
EPIC Dublin’s interactive Irish emigration museum. Touch screens, audio app, souvenir passport, and a free 10-day return. Tickets from $24.
“This was a great self-guided interactive tour that was well worth the fee! I downloaded the free audio tour guide app, which was helpful to provide a summary for each room/section of the museum. I spent more time than I planned and could have eaily stayed longer. Do make this part of your Dublin Itinerary!! The only constructive feedback would be that there was no information posted for Shane MacGowan and his contributions to Irish music globally.”
