If you want to experience the real Dublin, book this pub crawl with Austin. My family, and I loved every minute of it. Austin is incredibly knowledgeable about Dublin’s history and clearly passionate about sharing its culture. He took us to some fantastic spots we probably wouldn't have found on our own. It was a major highlight of our family trip to Ireland—great pints, amazing stories, and top-tier guiding. Five stars!

My husband and i walked through the streets of Dublin to various pubs with John. He is so rich in history and knowledge of the country that the time flew by. We found ourselves talking to him more about the history and the culture of drinking than the actual pubs! Even learned to enjoy Guinness!! Great tour if you like to walk, drink, visit real local pubs and see some live music!
Response from Host, Sep 2024

We had an absolute blast with Eamon wandering through Dublin's pubs! We had great drinks, good conversation, and tons of laughs! Eamon introduced us to the Dublin pub culture and to the city itself. The evening was well paced, and we enjoyed walking through the city as much as we enjoyed the pubs themselves. We've done a lot of tours in a lot of places over the years, and this is definitely one we'd recommend! Eamon was great fun, and our trip to Dublin was better because of him!

Austin Rock was a great guide! We really enjoyed the pubs he took us to and have already been back! Fun way to get a history, orientation and pub culture tour all at once!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hi Jaime.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had a blast with Austin Rock on our pub tour! Austin really knows how to show our guests a good time. It's fantastic to know that you've already revisited some of the pubs he introduced you to – that's the mark of a memorable experience! Combining history, orientation, and pub culture all in one tour is what we aim for, so it's great to hear that you appreciated it. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon on another one of our tours in Dublin!

Eamon was a fantastic guide! We enjoyed several pints as well as the fabulous history of many iconic pubs. We highly recommend this experience!

Hey Dinah, delighted to hear that! Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review :)

Austin introduced us to 3 pubs including one with music while sharing his seemingly vast knowledge of Irish history in general, and Dublin in particular. My wife and I had a wonderful evening with Austin and fully recommend him as a guide.

Maura was an excellent guide! Not only did she take us to cool local pubs, we also learned a lot about Dublin’s history and the Irish culture along the way. We met as strangers but left as friends 💚. Highly recommend!
Steven_A, Jun 2022
We had an outstanding afternoon with Kevin! He took us to 5 or so spots mixing in history of the pubs and areas we visited. He also gave great beer and whiskey advice at each location, and even suggested a perfect spot for dinner following our last pub stop. We highly recommend this tour!
