Pubs Galore - Eamon was awesome. He knows his history, and is also a true beer connoisseur. We felt like locals while rubbing shoulders with all the pub regulars. Eamon even went the extra mile by scouting a few pubs that featured live Irish music. Take the tour! But, be sure to ask for Eamon if you can.

A Localized Dublin Pub Tour - We started our Ireland vacation with walking tour of the Dublin pub scene by visiting some authentic Irish pubs away from traditional tourist traps. Eamon kept us entertained with some local Irish banter and lively tales of the importance of the Irish rock and roll scene. He truly listened to our requests and fashioned the tour to fit our needs. A great way to prep for the Bruce Springsteen concert!

Great pub tour with Austin! - Great Pub Tour with Austin! Tried a craft beer place live music (Darkey Kelly’s), and a local spot. Austin is a wealth of information about Dublin (born and raised here) and a great guy. Request him!

Dublin Pub Tour - Holiday Magic - Austin led us on an informative and amazing walking pub tour around the gorgeous city of Dublin. We learned tidbits of Irish history we would have never known, and visited some pubs that were each unique in their own way. Highly recommend this Tour - and Austin Rock as a guide!!

Well worth it. Will be doing it again just for the pleasure of Austin's company. - Austin was phenomenal! We had a brilliant time enjoying our walking tour. He was very flexible, changing the plan multiple times as hurdles to our initial schedule presented themselves. His handling of our specific experience requests (we wanted live trad music) was smooth and without issue. We enjoyed 7 days in Ireland and this was arguably the high-point of the trip. It was that good.

Amazing experience, book with them. - Austin was our guide, we did a pub crawl. We absolutely loved all of Ireland and this was still one of our favorite parts of our trip. Austin was friendly, inviting, and fun. He knew so much of Dublin's history and shared it with engaging stories. He adjusted as he went to take us to pubs that fit us. I 100% recommend booking with 'Dublin tour guide-private tours' if you're visiting Dublin. It made an already enjoyable experience even more enjoyable.

What a blast! - Very cool tour! We wanted history, beer, and Irish rum. Our guide John did a wonderful job with all three. We were in Dublin for 3 days prior and could not find Irish rum (I don’t do whiskey)…John had done his homework and found the 1661 bar that had the rum….5+ choices! Highly recommended!
