Best Dublin Pub Crawl! - James was brilliant! He took us to 3 local pubs for 3 different tastings - craft brews, Guinness & whiskey. Then he guided us to a 4th pub, having found an amazing band playing there that night. We’ve been on several Dublin pub crawls- this one definitely the best!

Do this please! - This truly made my trip! I did it on a whim on my final night in Dublin, and I don’t regret it. Connor was my tour guide, and he was able to intertwine Irish history, pub culture and humour into the tour. By the end of the night, it was lovely to see just how close the tour group became, especially because we’d all just met 3 hours ago. I would do this again, and I say that a visit to Dublin isn’t complete without having done this tour.

Thanks Rob - We had a great time with Rob leading our large group. Rob was quite knowledgeable about the beer, whiskey and gin that we were drinking in private rooms in the pubs that could fit our group of 24 visitors. We visited 4 pubs this evening and food was offered for purchase at the 3rd stop. Local musicians were performing at the final stop of the evening.
