Donal was very informative and knowledgeable about all the places but kept it fun and invited questions and conversation from everyone. He is very personable and caters the tour well to the people he’s with. We had an absolute blast on the tour and would HIGHLY recommend!

The Perfect Pub Crawl Experience - An Absolute Must - An absolutely incredible experience. Donal is exceptional. This pub crawl tour (or any tour with Donal) is a must if you are traveling to Dublin. Here are my big three takeaways on why you need to do this tour: First, the history. If you are interested in Irish history (like I am), this is the tour for you. We began our tour at the GPO, where Donal explained the 1916 easter rising and its importance in Ireland's history. We then set off on our pub crawl, where Donal eased in important, captivating details of Ireland and its history. On top of that, Donal fielded and answered each of our questions with enthusiasm. Second, the pubs!!! Over the course of five hours, Donal brought us to five pubs. Donal curated the pub crawl so brilliantly. Each pub was unique and provided an elite pub experience. And...of course... the Guinness at each pub was out of this world. Donal also recommended some other local beers (Wicklow Wolf, Hop House), which were great! On top of that, we got to go behind the bar and pour our own Guinness. An unforgettable experience. Third, the vibes. Absolutely, elite vibes the whole time. Donal is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fully engaged. This is what ties the whole thing together to make it the perfect pub crawl experience. Thank you, Donal. You made our trip!

A fantastic experience, again, and the best pub crawl Dublin has to offer. - This was our second time booking this pub crawl and we are already looking forward to booking it, again, for our next trip to Dublin. Enough great things can’t be said about Donal. Yet again, Donal was a superb host as he led us around to multiple excellent Irish pubs while informing us on the history, traditions, and culture of Dublin. Not only is Donal a fantastic guide, he goes above and beyond the call of duty for his people. Upon learning one of the pubs ran out of ingredients needed to complete one of our drinks; without hesitation, Donal quickly went to the market next store and bought the ingredients needed for that drink. Truly a testament to the ability and effort Donal takes to make his tour feel safe and at home in Dublin. I strongly recommend Donal and this pub crawl for anyone looking for an outstanding experience to take home with them and remember for many years to come. The Guinness is wonderful, too.

Easily the Best Pub Tour - I've been on plenty of pub tours and Donald's tour is easily the best! He's from the area, knows plenty of the locals and pub owners, and just goes with the flow. Refreshing compared to other tours who are more obsessed with keeping an arbitrary schedule. You'll have no regrets!

A must do if in Dublin! - This pub crawl is an essential if visiting Dublin. Donal is a knowledgeable local guide who will take you to the best pubs in town. He steers you away from tourist traps and gives you a great experience with history mixed in. We even got to go behind the bar and learn how to pour a pint. At the end he steered us in the right direction to carry on our night and even hailed us a cab!
