wonderful experience! - I had an absolutely lovely time on this pub crawl in Dublin. From the first stop to the last--it was exactly what you would hope for when exploring Irish pubs. Our guide, Sam, was knowledgeable & friendly. He shared plenty of fun stories, local history & tips to make my visit to Dublin unforgettable. I 100% recommend this activity.

A great night out in Dublin with lovely people - This is a fantastic night out in Dublin. Rob, the host is a great person so full of knowledge and fun. The pubs we visited were all different and the tastings really good, lots of beer, Guinness, whisky and G&T and a nice optional meal. We had a great time with Jenna, Nichole, Les, Caroline and Thomas and of course Rob. Highly recommended.

Missed opportunity - Sadly was unable to attend due to my flight being canceled and booked 2 days later. I was unable to contact anyone to try to rebook. The guide was kind and called to check on me and explained my situation, he advised to email his supervisor, although I wasn’t given the info for the email. I sent a message through the link and I never got a response and it’s been 3 days. Bummed I missed out.

Guide tool us on the wrong tour. - Signed up for the Real Dublin Traditional Music Pub Tour and our guide took us On a pub crawl to places he likes to drink. First pub was nice if you like to play board games. We were tucked away in the back corner where you couldn’t even hear the music on the speaker being played. Second pub was a sports bar playing the Leeds footy match. Third pub we went upstairs of Slatterys with the regular bar stereo playing the regular mix of modern bar songs. The guid was a very nice gregarious fellow who was high. Pupils were dilated wide all night, couldn’t stay on track with a single thought all night. Would start engaging the group with some basic knowledge on beer then abruptly start talking about $3 for tictac’s candy.(amongst other random topics) At the 3rd pub, we asked the other people on the tour if they signed up for the live music tour as well (thinking we followed the wrong guy) and they said they said yes. At this point, we left. So, a guide who couldn’t keep a single thought on track took 5 people on a tour of places he likes, and not a single live traditional band was found.
