Save your money and consider your own pub crawl

We've done many such tours on our travels and sadly this one fell well short of our expectations. Rob, the guide, was late and w/o an apology. The selection of pubs was OK but the overview and discussion of the beer and pubs was limited and amateurish. The final pub that offered free Irish music didnt include any seating or standing options, and no beverage ...all in all over priced and dissappointing.

Fun and laid back tour - so good!

I really enjoyed this tour and am so glad I booked last minute. I had one night in Dublin on a Monday and could not have asked for a better experience. Peter, the guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable and everyone on the tour felt like fast friends. All the drinks were amazing and ending at a classic venue with live music was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!

Great Pub Tour

Martin was a great tour guide. We’d already been to a number of pubs on prior nights so we wondered if we needed to go on this tour. Turns out it was great. We were so glad we went. It was great to visit an area away from Temple Bar.

Great pub tour in Dublin

Easy meet up, central location( right beside the Dublin Spire) walked about 5 minutes to our first pub and sampled 3 different local craft beers, then to the next old landmark pub for a half pint of Guinness, next to another landmark pub( one of Dublins best Rock n Roll bars back in the day ( Flaterys) the names of the bands that performed there all over the walls ( very impressive) also an Anthony Bourdain visited establishment ( our 13th around the globe). Our guide Sam was excellent… funny ( with that classic dry Irish wit) very knowledgeable and helpful too. Learned a great deal from him. Highly recommended tour to do , takes about 5 hours.
