Hidden gems and great pints!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time on our sightseeing and pints tour with Eamon! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about all things Ireland — from the rich history and culture to the little stories and details that make Dublin so special. What really made the day memorable was how Eamon took us to places we never would have found on our own — true hidden gems that gave us a real feel for the city. Add to that his easygoing personality and great sense of humor, and it felt more like spending the day with a friend than a tour guide. If you’re looking to see the authentic side of Dublin, learn a ton, and enjoy a few great pints along the way, we can’t recommend Eamon highly enough. He truly made our trip unforgettable!
INCREDIBLE!!

5.00Kevin was beyond incredible. I would highly recommend this tour. He was so knowledgeable, so funny, and just overall was an amazing experience. We did this tour on our honeymoon, and I would gladly book this tour again when we return with more family! I can’t say enough positive things about Kevin and this tour!
A Passionate and Unforgettable Tour in Dublin

5.00Garvan Rushe , our tour guide wasn’t just knowledgeable - he was a storyteller, historian , and proud resident of Ireland! Every stop was brought to life with rich detail and personal anecdotes that gave depth and meaning to each place we visited. What really made the experience truly unforgettable was his passion . You could feel how deeply connected he was to Ireland, the culture and the history. While tucked inside small Dublin pubs along the way,for a pint , he made sure we didn’t just see Ireland - we felt it. If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the surface, guided by someone who truly loves their country and wants you to love it too, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Ireland is beautiful - but seeing it through his eyes made it extraordinary. Thank you again Garvin, Dan and Deirdre Brown 🇨🇦

5.00Our experience with John Caffery as our Dublin "Sights and Pints" guide was more than worth it. We were told John is a walking encyclopedia about all things Dublin and we whole hardly agree. It was welcoming to John for a pint (or 2) and marvel at his ability to share and answer questions.
Punts and Pubs, great afternoon!

5.00We did a walking tour with John our first day in Dublin. He was fantastic! Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and made sure we had plenty of pictures. We felt as if John went above and beyond to help us experience Dublin the proper way. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the future.
Really enjoyed our tour...

5.00Really enjoyed our tour with Carl. Very well versed in the history and told our kiddo ghost stories about the pubs so slightly less boring for her :) . He even went out of his way to find a glass store after learning my sister likes collecting whiskey glasses. Easy, laid back and fun and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a local feel tour.
Site and Pints - it was the best of both worlds !

5.00Carl provided a wonderful experience for my family that started with a quick history lesson to help set the stage for the sights he was about to show us on the tour. He was personable and knowledgeable and really helped make this experience worthwhile. I highly recommend Carl !!.
Your with John!

5.00John was the perfect guide for our Dublin sights and pints tour - funny, knowledgeable, and full of charm. He brought the city’s history to life and knew just where to stop for the best pint. Couldn’t recommend him more!
