What a wonderful experience to immerse yourself into Irish culture. Our tour guide was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. Not your typical late night pub crawl and that’s perfectly fine!

Must do if you are visiting Dublin

Jennifer_D, Apr 2025

I am so glad I booked this tour! Kevin is the best. He takes you to 4 different types of pubs all in a short distance so there is not a lot of walking. Kevin will also give you references to pubs / restaurants to check out by your hotel or if you have something you want in mind. I have only been on a few walking tours in different countries but this was by far the best! Thank you again Kevin!

Response from Host, May 2025

Good guy Kevin

Elena_B, Apr 2023

Kevin is a sensational guide, as a non-native English speaker, it's hard for me to find a more suitable word for his organisation and presentation. His long experience in the guiding sphere makes him a wonderful source of knowledge, presented by his passionate exhibition. Kevin's competence is proven by the plentyful of answers to the questions, that aroused throuought the journey, related to the food and drinking scene in Ireland. You should look no further, when looking for a typical warm and joyful Irish companion, doing his upmost best to present the heart of Dublin.

Response from Host, May 2023

HI Elena, thank you so much for your amazing review! It really means a lot to us. We're so thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the tour, and that we were able to give a great tour experience. Thanks for joining us! Sláinte, Kevin & Aoife

Response from Host, Mar 2023
