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!

Great Pub Tour with John - The 4 of us took a pub tour with John Caffrey yesterday in Dublin. What a fun and amazing experience. We were treated to classic Dublin pubs and served amazing local brews and Irish whiskeys. John is an encyclopedia of knowledge on Ireland. We had already done a walking tour earlier that day (with a different guide) but got new and interesting information from John. If it hadn't been raining, the night would have been perfect. But, John and his easy, fun manner kept us feeling very content!

Pub crawl - Great experience. We had so much fun and Mark is the BEST tour guide. It is a nice thing to do early in your trip so you can go back and visit places.

The very best guide - I had a great evening with Maura. We visited different pubs, meet a lot of nice people, tasted different beers. She also showed me historical places with a lot of knowlege of these places. We both have an interest in Vikings :-) I hope to meet you again Maura
