Pub Tour

Karen_B, Jun 2024

Never having been to Ireland, we wanted to visit some authentic pubs, not a tourist trap place. Austin was our guide and we had a wonderful time. Our tour was just our family and it was really nice to meet someone from Ireland and be able to talk with them one on one. Not only did we learn about pubs and whiskeys etc., but we were able to ask questions we had about Ireland. One of my favorite tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi Karen, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private tour with Austin. It's fantastic that you appreciated visiting authentic pubs and learning about Irish culture and whiskeys. We aim to offer custom-made experiences that allow our guests to connect with Ireland on a personal level. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon on your next visit to Dublin or any of our other tours in the future. Best regards, Jessica, Dublin Tour Guide Team

Pub crawl

Great experience. We had so much fun and Mark is the BEST tour guide. It is a nice thing to do early in your trip so you can go back and visit places.
