A Dublin Highlight - Entertaining tour. Host Peter is a wealth of all things Dublin and drinking. Humorous and genuine - he sincerely cares that his guests leave with the very best impression regarding his beloved city ... with laughs along the way. The Irish music pub was totally worth the price of admission by itself; a Dublin highlight. Thanks Peter!!!

Perfect Dublin Pub Crawl - We found out about this tour when we did the morning walking tour with James. It sounded great do we booked for the evening pub tour the next day. We visited four local pubs, each with its own unique atmosphere and none of them particularly touristy. We sampled craft beers in the first, Guiness in the second, whiskey and gin in the third (with an opportunity to have dinner) and then finished with live music in the final pub. We learned about the drinks along the way as well as other anecdotes about Dublin. We were encouraged to chat and get to know others in the group and this made the evening even more enjoyable. James was just as good on this tour as he had been on the morning tour and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Fantastic, thank you.

Craic of a time - Was recommended this tour from a friend and we had a craic of a time on this tour. Robb our guide was very funny while leading us to some of his favourite drinking holes. He made sure to remember everyone’s names by the end of the tour which lead to many laughs! Great craft beer, tasty food, gins, whiskey and of course Guinness. Ending off the tour with a trad session in a tiny pub really helped provide an experience you won’t get around the tourist traps. I would book this tour again!

Fun time with a bit of knowledge included :) - Our tour guide (Conor) was great, having both pub/beer knowledge and historical knowledge as well. Each pub was distinctively different and prepared for out group on arrival. Wasn't too much walking between pubs and was in a safe area.

Fun, informative - We had a great time on our Pub Crawl! Rob was a fantastic host and a very fun person to be around. He took the time to learn everyone's name and interacted with all of us equally. I would recommend this for anyone. RR

A warm welcome filled with hospitality and new friends! - My boyfriend and I had a lovely time on this tour with James. He was knowledgeable, friendly and told us a ton of local information. We had a smaller group of 8 people and really enjoyed this experience. If you’re looking for a way to get away from the crowds and spend time where locals do - this is the tour for you!

Dublin craft meets off the beaten path pubs - Small group which made for a more intimate tour. Our tour guide Rob was easy going and kept the conversation going amongst the different groups. Considering we booked the tour for Halloween night, we still managed to squeeze into all of the pubs.

Fun tour with plenty of beer and humor - We did this same tour last year and liked it so much we did it again this year. We went to the same first 3 places which was fine because the beer is good! Last year it must have been a weeknight because this year was on Saturday and places that were very quiet last year were packed this time around. We learned new things about Dublin, beer and more. The dinner stop was good, but because it was so crowded, we could have used more room. The Irish Whiskey and Gin were great! Last year, we went to McNeill's Pub for the last stop, but there were too many of us so we went to another place. It was ok, but not as fun. So we went to McNeill's 2 other evenings on our own. Our guide, whose name I didn't write down, was knowledgeable, but honestly, he didn't seem as engaged with the group or as interested to be there as last year's. He would answer questions, but often with 1 word answers. It was a large group, on a busy night, in noisy pubs and he got frustrated if anyone talked, even whispered while he was talking even though more noise was coming from all the other pub patrons. He walked like he was racing to get places leaving the group all strung out behind him. Overall, we enjoyed the experience. Last year it was a 5 star, this year a 4 star, but still recommended.
