We love Shane. This tour was the highlight of our entire trip. We were able to see beautiful places and meet people we would have never known without finding this tour. You will be missing out if you skip this tour. Go hang out with Shane you won’t regret it!!!

This was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Dublin/Ireland. Our tour guide Shane was fantastic. He gave running commentary about the countryside and interesting sites, and had us singing Irish ballads throughout the day. We saw beautiful countryside, and Shane kept a group of 14 high energy people on-schedule and completely engaged throughout. I can't speak highly enough about Shane, so you should make sure to ask for him. Judy

One of the best tours I have ever taken!!! We had so much fun on this pub tour through the Wicklow Mountains, led by Shane, our driver and guide. We participated with 6 of our family and friends along with another group that were on the van with us. Shane was outstanding as he told us stories, explained background of all 6 pubs and drinks that were available at each pub. He organized a tremendous dinner stop that was one of the best we had during our stay in Dublin. We all bonded during our adventure while we laughed, sang and drank in some very special rural pubs. Thank you Shane!

What a great day out. Visiting 6 pubs in six different spots. Great scenery, great fun. And the best of hosts - Shane might know everyone in Ireland it seems. Would do it all over again next time we are there.

Mountain Pub Tour Very good. Amazing social driver. Great atmosphere throughout the trip, while also getting lots of interesting information. Small group makes it feel extra good. Visit 6 fantastic genuine pubs, where several served local beer.
