Highlights

Your group has folks who want to explore the city but others who just want to have a beer and relax in a local pub, right? This tour will keep everyone happy as it combines elements of a sightseeing tour with elements of a pub tour. During our 4hours together, we'll stop in 2 pubs (or more if you're so inclined!) during our exploration of Dublin's attractions, history and culture. Once you've booked let us know how you'd like the tour customised as we will tailor the experience to suit you and your group.

Itinerary

  1. Visting the campus. If you want to visit the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5hr tour '(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours'. Access to the campus is limited to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity's rules).

    15 min

  2. Although on this tour we will only visit more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple bar – the heart or Dublin's nightlife. Stroll the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will show you the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems of what is a overty touristy area.

    15 min

  5. Snap a picture of your group at Dublin's most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha'Penny Bridge, one of Dublin's icons. Take look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (maybe you'll detect the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers' locks.

About Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's friendly, literary capital on the River Liffey, a city of Georgian squares, historic pubs, live music and a gift for storytelling.

Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells and the soaring Long Room library, while Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick's Cathedral trace the city's medieval and colonial past. Georgian squares such as Merrion Square, with their brightly painted doors, and the green expanse of St Stephen's Green provide elegant calm.
