Highlights

Enjoy a privately guided pub tour of Dublin, where you will avoid the tourist traps and fake 'Irish' pubs! Instead, you will escape with the locals to learn how to savour a pint of Guinness. Find out how to ensure you always get a great pint, listen to Irish music, and enjoy great conversation or, as we call it, 'the craic'! On your tour, you will visit several pubs, but drinks are not included in the tour. Plan to spend between €6-8 per drink, depending on your chosen drink. We recommend coming on this tour having already eaten a meal, so you can really prepare for a truly Irish pub experience! Please note: Due to varying age restrictions in pubs, this tour is suitable for those 18 and over. No children are allowed on this tour. If you wish to go on a pub tour where you may also bring children, please be in touch with our team.

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.
