2.Cocktail Masterclass & Distillery Tour Combo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 1 hour 45 minutes (approx.) · from $60Top rated

Tour Rebel City Distillery in Cork, enjoy a gin and tonic, and craft two cocktails in a small, friendly masterclass.

“The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was fascinating to see the distillery and the setup they have in place. The cocktails were all delicious and unique—definitely not your typical gin. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into the different spices they use to create their blends. The highlight of the experience for both my wife and me was Bhagya. She’s such a lovely person and incredibly passionate about what she does, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time and shared plenty of laughs. I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cork!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews

Review of a private Galway day trip to Clonmacnoise, Athlone Castle, Sean's Bar, Clontuskert Abbey, and Clonony Castle.

“Fairly local to Galway, great chance to see some castles and take in the history of the region. Our guide was really more of a limo driver, professional but did not offer a lot in the way of enriching the experience. I’d still recommend the trip to those who love history and exploration.”
