A Staple Dublin Tour! - I’ve done this tour 3 times now over the years and still always look forward to it. The guides are always entertaining and knowledgeable and the stories and history are fun! It’s a great way to learn about different pubs around Dublin as well
I would recommend that if you’re considering booking you try for a slot earlier in the week- we went on a Thursday and the pubs we visited were already packed before our large group arrived- still loved the tour, but made it a bit difficult to get a drink at some spots

Making History Fun - The skits put on by the two actors, Frank and Finbar (spelling?), were extremely well done. The way they related the history of the writers and characters they portrayed made each stop a treat. It was fun to see each pub and nice to have some "time out" in one as well. Thank you for a great experience!

Interesting and fun - Interesting and fun presentation of famous Irish works and authors. The whole travel accompaniment cost itself along the way, both with the presentations and the pubs we visited along the way. I'd love to come back.

Very entertaining for everyone - I had been on this crawl many years ago, and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to return. The second time around was just as great. Two actors tell stories, give history, and act out scenes of Irish literature. It may sound high-brow, but it was just really entertaining. You also visit some great pubs along the way so there’s plenty of breaks and time to get drinks. Really fun.
