- Temple Bar - While this tour focuses on more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple Bar – the heart of Dublin’s nightlife. Wander the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will reveal the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems in this overly touristy area.
- Dublin Castle - We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without entering any interiors, which can only be accessed through an official Dublin Castle tour.
- Christ Church Cathedral - Along with St Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church is a stunning example of Dublin’s medieval religious architecture. We’ll be visiting the exterior only.
- Ha’penny Bridge - Snap a picture of your group at Dublin’s most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha’Penny Bridge, one of Dublin’s landmarks. Look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (you might catch the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers’ locks.
- City Hall - A key location of the 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin’s 18th-century architecture.

Sights and Pints with Austin - Austin provided our group of six with a great "Sights and Pints" tour of Dublin. We found Austin to be a wealth of knowledge about everything to do with Dublin and Ireland in general. Four of the people in our group had never been to Ireland, and after the tour they remarked how much they learned in the four hours spent with Austin. During the tour we stopped at a couple of pubs and spent time chatting with Austin about everything from the famine to what's in an Irish name. If you are looking for a nice overview of Dublin/Ireland (and a couple of pints in the process), I would highly recommend the Sights and Pints Tour with Austin. You will not be disappointed.

Sights & Pints = Winner - My family (me and my 3 sons - 22, 20, and 16) had a lovely experience with our guide, Colm. The tour covered landmarks across the city while explaining the significance to both Dublin’s and Ireland’s histories. On our walking tour, we stopped at a couple of pubs, to further embrace the culture, sports, and music of Ireland.
Colm was a great resource and incredibly knowledgeable on the area and history. He was able to make several recommendations in while staying in Dublin and to other parts of Ireland as we traveled across Ireland. I highly recommend this tour for those that want to learn more about Ireland’s history and traditions…it’s much more than a bar crawl through Dublin.

Outstanding tour and guide. Highly Recommend - Outstanding in every way. Our guide Colm Hogan was fantastic. Smart. Funny. Knowledgable. Flexible. We enjoyed the major sights and also some hidden gems. Colm knows the city and the history and explains it with great clarity. We loved spending time with him in a pub as well, learning more about the culture of Ireland. Highly recommend this tour with this guide.

Great tour and tour guide - Definitely recommend this tour! Our guide John was so knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed learning all about Dublin and the Irish culture. We had a great time sitting and chatting in the pubs with John, and the highlight of the day for my husband was being able to go behind the bar at Dublin’s oldest family ran pub and pour his own Guinness.

Great tour - five stars! - It was a great tour! Our guide, John Caffrey, was so knowledgeable and told us a lot of rich history about Dublin. He was personable and friendly and we enjoyed sitting in the pubs chatting with him. The highlight for my husband was being able to pull his own Guinness at the oldest family owned pub in the city. Definitely recommend!!

Great Walking Tour of Dublin - John Caffrey was a great host and guide for our tour around Dublin. His deep knowledge of Irish History and relationships around town made it so enjoyable. Learning to pour a proper Guinness was a bonus.

Sights Plus Pints - count me in !!! - Our sights and pints tour with Carl was amazing! It was as if your cousin (that you like!) was showing you around his hometown. We learned the lay of land and how to get around the city, a super cool enjoyable history lesson, and felt like we got some insider information. OH, and the cherry on the top - also had a couple of pints ! We were super tired from the overnight flight but the walking kept us going and the information kept us intrigued. Would 100% do this tour with Carl again!
