Gem of a tour!! - One of the best 4 hours spent touring Dublin. Brendon had an agenda but deferred to our expectations making it a custom tour. The tour went way beyond pub crawling. He guided us to hidden sites, filled us with lore, facts and history and yes we had a pint and whiskey periodically. At the end we felt like locals who had made a new friend. Thanks Brendon: Larry, Lynn, Charlie and Cindy.

Great tour-Request Austin! - This is an incredible tour and a MUST for any Dublin visit. We got a great overview of the city and enjoyed a few pints! If you go, I suggest requesting Austin as your guide. He is extremely interesting and knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend a few hours with to really get to know the city and its history. One of the highlights of our visit to Ireland.

Great Pub Tour customized to our preferences! - Had a great time with Austin! Our tour was customised to exactly the types of pubs that we wanted to see (authentic and where locals go and not in the Temple Bar area). Great communication before the trip and flexibility during the tour.

Pub Tour - Never having been to Ireland, we wanted to visit some authentic pubs, not a tourist trap place. Austin was our guide and we had a wonderful time. Our tour was just our family and it was really nice to meet someone from Ireland and be able to talk with them one on one. Not only did we learn about pubs and whiskeys etc., but we were able to ask questions we had about Ireland. One of my favorite tours.
