What To Expect
Our first pub is one of only two pubs in the Temple Bar area that aren't full of tourists. A great traditional Irish music pub with an impressive beer and whiskey selection, and great staff to boot! If you haven't dined, this first stop is a great place to have a meal. Just tell us in advance so we can reserve a table!

Private Pub tour with John.

5.00John Caffrey was our guide for our tour and he was wonderful! He took us to four pubs, each one a little different from the other and shared stories with us on the history of each. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of at each location. We had two children under 18 with us and he made sure that we went to pubs that would accommodate us. He even arranged for us to have a Guinness pouring lesson and each of us got to take a turn at pouring our own Guinness! We highly recommend this tour! Thank you John for an awesome time!
Fantastic!!

5.00Kevin was amazing! Very informative about different locations around Dublin (not just pubs) as well as other locations across Ireland. He was very down to earth and a great guy. If you’re doing the tour, get Kevin. Would highly recommend. Someone I’d get a drink with outside the tour

5.00Had a wonderful 3 hour walking tour of Dublin today with Mark Hanratty. He’s not only a knowledgeable guide but he is engaging and extremely easy to connect with. We were a group of 4 and everyone of us felt it was a positive and informative experience. Sort of like spending a few hours with a friend and having easy conversation. Highly recommend this tour with Mark.
Wonderful pub and walking tour of Ireland

5.00Kevin S was a perfect guide. He gave us historical information mixed in with little known facts - he was extremely entertaining and a pleasure to have as a guide. We went into several pubs we would not have known about without him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a great mix of history and fun!
Wonderful Guide and Pub Experience

5.00We had Eamon as our guide and he was exactly what we were hoping for in this tour. A great mix of history and beer, plus getting to pour our own Guinness in a pub was a highlight!
Great Pub Tour!

5.00Carl was our guide and he was absolutely exceptional. He seamlessly combined the history of Ireland and Dublin with his knowledge of the pubs. He showed us three different pub experiences and would have kept going had our jet lag not caught up with us. If you’re in Dublin be sure to book with Carl. Super nice guy as well!
