About this tour

A private tour of Dublin's traditional pubs - not tourist traps!

Duration

4 hours

About

Dublin is where pubs are born. Some don't survive, many leave the Irish shore, several have mid-life crises, but few are aging as gracefully as the stable pubs that bestow so much character on Dublin.

Avoid the tourist traps and fake 'Irish' pubs! Escape with the locals to learn how to savour a pint of Guinness - find out how to ensure you always get a great pint and why it's important - listen to Irish music and enjoy great conversation or, as we call it, 'the craic'!

If Dublin has hidden gems, they're the pubs that don't advertise to tourists. The authentic Irish pub where a conversation is flowing faster than the beer, where the character of the pub is as fascinating as the characters in it, where literature, society, and history eternally live.

Reviews

See our TripAdvisor reviews for proof of how exceptional this tour really is:

"…Eamon is very knowledgeable, sharing Dublin history while we enjoyed, music and pints in several different spots throughout the evening. Eamon is a highly skilled historian, and he shared easily in his Irish "story-tellin" fashion! All 4 of us enjoyed spending the evening with Eamon strolling easily thru the Dublin streets." ~ Eileen, E. from Massachusetts, USA - May '24

"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." ~ Jason L. from Washington State, USA - Oct '23
