What are people saying about House of Waterford Crystal

Hand crafted tour!
I wasn't excited about this tour, we went for my mom, but I'm so glad we did. It's a step by step tour of their entire workshop where you see them blow the crystal, shape it, test it, cut it, and embellish it. I have so much more appreciation for the hand crafting that goes into each piece after this tour.
Be sure to arrive right when they open to get into a tour schedule.
