My Journey Ireland Historical Pub Crawl – Discover Dublin One Pint at a Time!
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon exploring Dublin’s most atmospheric and historic pubs while uncovering the stories, legends and colourful characters that shaped Ireland’s capital.
With warmth, humour and plenty of craic, your expert local guide brings Dublin’s past to life in the very places where history was made and pints were poured.
No two tours are the same. The pubs we visit are carefully chosen and adjusted to suit the group’s interests and energy on the day, creating a personalised and authentic Dublin pub experience with history, culture and traditional Irish music.
We finish in one of Dublin’s oldest pubs, a hidden gem loved by locals.
Come for the history. Stay for the pints. Leave with a true taste of Dublin.
Small groups, expert storytelling and an experience designed around you.

5.00A great look around the traditional bars in Dublin, Donal is a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about the history. If a bar is too busy (which can happen at peak season), Donal has another hidden gem in reserve - highly recommended

5.00Donal was amazing, knowledgeable, funny and might be a long lost brother. At least in humor and pop culture references. The wife and I had such a blast. And pouring my own pint of Guinness to end the day was a highlight of my life.

5.00Informative tour! We learned so much about the history of each pub we visited which gave us a perspective and appreciation that otherwise would not have gained. Donal was an amazing host having customized our tour based on our individual requests. We had a great time and it made our last night in Dublin very special.
Like a day out with an old friend

5.00Had a blast with Donal! He showed us some tradition Irish pubs, knew lots of history, and was super engaging. We even managed to pull our own pints of Guinness! This didn't feel like we were out with a tour guide - it was much more like being out with an old friend. So much so, after the tour had officially finished - we returned to his local go-to pub and spent the rest of the evening there. Would thoroughly recommend - a tour like no other

5.00We had the BEST time on this pub crawl! Donal was very informative and knowledgeable about all the places but kept it fun and invited questions and conversation from everyone. He is very personable and caters the tour well to the people he’s with. We had an absolute blast on the tour and would HIGHLY recommend!
