Great fun, good beer, and Irish Music - Derek was v well informed on styles of Irish music and assured I would hear a nice selection of several, along with a variety of local beer. We visited 3 pubs w/traditional Irish music; rebel music; and an “open mic” venue with an impressive guitar player and a Leprechaun-like musician who played banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and a slide whistle…a genius duo. Derek explained the stories behind some songs/pieces, and shared his background, education, and family status. He provided an engaging and really fun experience, and I highly recommend him if you want to enjoy a major part of Dublin life. He made the event special.

Irish music and pints - Music was great! Music varied at each of the three stops. Away from tourists. Our guide gave some local history while walking. Enjoyable evening!

So Much More! - We signed up for the Classic Irish Pub Tour with Ruairi hoping to get a little background on Irish music with the opportunity to enjoy it in some classic pubs. While that is certainly what we received, with Ruairi, we got so much more. Ruairi is a true Dubliner and really provided a complete and detailed background of the city that was both interesting and fun. Leading us through different parts of Dublin, he informed us about the city's history, geography, art, culture and even told us a few ghost stories. My wife and I really appreciated how knowledgeable Ruairi was about so many different aspects of Irish life and how willing he was to share some great anecdotes highlighting his own experiences. While I certainly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to sample Irish music while enjoying a Guinness and Irish Stew, I really recommend taking this tour with Ruairi if you are looking for a well-rounded insightful night of Irish culture.

Great tour by Fiona! - Fiona was right on time and dressed as advertised! Singer, actress, entrepreneur... she is enthusiastic in everything she does! We liked the pubs she took us to very much and we enjoyed a very nice meal together. In one of the pubs I even noticed she was singing along! Fiona told us about history of Ireland, Dublin, remarkable people and their songs and even about ghosts... highly recommended!!

Great intro to traditional music and pubs - Everyone should have a chance to spend an evening with Lia, learning about traditional pub music and food. Loved it that she took me to wonderful neighborhood places away from touristy Temple Bar!

Great tour! Great Music! Great beer! - Derek was great tour guide! He took us off the beaten path and gave us some historical insight of some of Dublin´s landmarks. one of the pubs we went to had live music. They played traditional folks songs as well as some pop tunes with an Irish twist. And of course the beer was great :) I would highly recommend it.

Less Than Happy - We were less than happy with this experience. We went to three pubs as promised, but there was no snack provided as stated in the description. We would recommend that you just walk into three random pubs in Dublin and have the same experience yourself.

No show - Buyer beware. Even though I confirmed my attendance twice the host was a no show. He did not respond to any of my text messages. I would like a full refund for this non-event.
