Solo Tour Experience - I had a great time on this tour! I was solo in Dublin and decided this would be a good way to explore. Eoghan was my guide, such a lovely man! He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and Dublin. He was also able to discuss any topics I brought up and answered all my questions. The pubs he took me to were authentic, traditional, and the people were so welcoming. All in all, an awesome experience!

Loved it! - Had a fantastic guide named Eoghan. He was fun, interesting and knowledgeable. We had a great time and loved the places he took us! Recommend this tour if you want to get away from the touristy spots!

Enjoyed! - Antonio was a great tour guide. We went to several great pubs and enjoyed a great dinner of fish and chips. We were on the Norwegian Spirit cruise ship so instead of using an Uber to travel from one pub area to another, we arranged a taxi to take us back to the ship after dinner which worked out fabulously.

Pubing in Dublin - Conor was a great host. Took us to the local pubs rather than the tourist pubs plus his history information on Dublin was very good. Would highly recommend this tour.

The Only Way to do a real pub crawl in Dublin - Thru our many years of traveling we’ve found the only way to even get close to the culture of a place is by a personal tour. Our guide Conor was outstanding, we asked for slice of life and we believe that’s exactly what we got—and it was great craic. We’re middle aged and we didn’t want the typical Temple Bar. We went thru that area, but we got the history and some mother’s wisdom about the place. One in our party wanted to taste Beamish, the stout of Cork. And who knew this was a challenge in Dublin, it’s kind of like how you can’t find Old Style outside of Chicago And Wisconsin. But Conor found it and along the way we had a great time that we will always remember. We heard great music on traditional instruments, saw dancers, spoke to interesting people and tried some awesome drink. Conor also had great suggestions on visiting the Chester Beatty library, which will be my next 5 star review. If I could give this experience 6 stars we would.

Temple Bar Area Tour - We booked this tour because it was suppose to go to a local pub (Rathmines area) and get away from the Temple Bar area and all of the tourist. This did not happen. We went to 3 pubs in the Temple Bar area, including "Temple Bar" itself. We explained to our hosts what our expectations were but they were not meet. We could have easily toured the Temple Bar area by our self.

The Irish Pub Experience - This whole experience was a total scam. We met them in front of a bar and they ask us where we want to go, instead of this is what we have planned for you. They basically bought us three drinks each for $180.00. They had no clue as to where to take us. There was no itinerary at all and no reservations any where.
