Fantastic guide and pubs! - Wonderful way to spend our first afternoon in Dublin. Sionaiian, our guide was fantastic. Easy to talk to and full of information. She took us to four different pubs and had the THE BEST toasty in Dublin. Each spot was charming and we enjoyed a Guinness, Irish coffee, IPA and whiskey. Would absolutely recommend!

Amazing experience full of facts about Dublin and Irish culture - I went on this tour in august 2023, it was my first time in Dublin and I was looking for a fun way to visit the city and to learn more about Irish culture and this is exactly what this tour offers. We started in the center of the city, getting a bit of history and went to the first bar. We had the best toasty I tried during my whole trip and some well poured Guinness. While eating we spoke more about the culture behind Irish pubs and it sparkled a lot of conversations specific to our interests. Gabriel was an amazing guide and the tour felt very personalized. We proceeded to walk and got a sense of the city and information on the important attractions while making our way to taste Irish coffee, more beers and the several whiskeys. Both my friend and I considered that the route and the bar selection was exquisite however, the highlight were the people behind the tour and the bar and all the stories we learnt about Dublin.

Great Afternoon in Dublin! - We could not have asked for more with this tour. We had a super small group, so it felt very friendly and intimate which we relished in as we saw herds passing on the street in other tour groups. There is a great balance between historical facts and anecdotes. Our guide Gabriel was local, so it was great for my friends who were not from Ireland to get an insight into the culture throughout the decades. The places we went were all a very high standard and there was a mix of a lot of locals and some visitors in them. The award-winning Irish coffee was one of the highlights of the tour. I would recommend this tour to visitors and Irish people who want to do something different in Dublin, fill their bellies and enjoy some pints!

A fun and 'classy' pub crawl through four unique pubs and bars - We had just one weekend in Dublin and this was the perfect way to discover some different pubs and bars! We went to 4 different pubs and bars, 2 historic, a cafe/bar for amazing Irish coffee, and a whiskey bar. All were unique from each other and provided an insight into the drinks, culture, and history of Dublin. We had such a fun time learning about Dublin from our guide, and loved the tastings that were guided the bartenders at a couple of the stops, too. We had food just at 1 of the stops but it was perfect as we were full after and it set us up well for sampling drinks at all the other stops after. Thank you Devour!

A fun pub and drinks tour in Dublin! - We wanted to do a bit of a different experience in Dublin so we signed up for this pub tour. We visited 4 different pubs and bars, each one very different from the others, and two were two of Dublin's oldest pubs. It was a fun way to try different drinks and learn a thing or two about Dublin in a different way. Our guide made the whole experience fun, I'd highly recommended this to those looking for an interesting drinks experience in Dublin.

Great, chill pub crawl - Our tour guide Shannon was great, friendly and knowledgeable. We thought the food servings were generous as well as the drinks and enjoyed the whiskey tasting part too! Would definitely recommend if you want to do a pub tour with a more chill “non spring breakers” vibe.

great way to get to know the city - What a brilliant tour around Dublin city centre! We went to some beautiful bars - ranging from the more traditional to more fancy - trying lovely beers and delicious local produce before finishing off with a whiskey tasting at a great location. Sionainn, our guide, was super friendly and incredibly knowledgable about Dublin and Irish history - we learned so much! Highly recommended.

Beware - Horrible. Used the portal to contact the tour operator to let them know that our US flights were delayed and we would not make it to Dublin on time. Of course they did not check that message portal - no refund possible !!! Only one other person on tour and started late so was this even a tour to start with. With a 6 hour time difference and add 12 hour notice it was real close to 24 hour notice if they would have checked their contact tour operator portal that is on the ticket. Traveling in the air there was no other way to notify them. I understand 24 hour notice but time difference and not checking your portal of where I and supposed to contact you at - how else is it possible to contact you. Then with only three people one your tour and I am two of them is that really a tour - y’all should have offered a cancellation anyway because so small of a group and you started 20 minutes late anyway. It’s a principle and doing the right thing
