The group included wide range of ages and were all very pleasant
Guide was too loud even in a small group and room and only paid attention to the 5 young men paid no attention to my husband walking with a cane
Would not book the tour again

We had a great guide who shared a lot of knowledge about the beverages we were drinking. It was a lot of fun.

Rob was a fantastic guide - genial, friendly, curious and a great story teller. We had a group of ~20 from all over - Iceland, Germany, Italy, US, Canada and elsewhere and everyone got along great. It started off a bit slow but things started flowing after some social lubricant and by stopping at 4 different pubs we were able to mix up who we sat with and talked to. We only had a single night in Dublin and were very happy to have spent it on this tour.
Corinne_P, May 2026
We had an awesome evening. Rob, our tour guide, was full of information and entertaining all evening.
Myah_G, May 2026
Absolutely great way to explore Dublin, great locations, conversations, and drinks. Our guide was amazing and showed us locations many people miss when traveling solo. Nice way to start a trip to familiarize yourself with the city.
Lori_R, May 2026
Great way to experience various pubs. Loved experiencing the Guinness pour. Group size was too large.
Charles_H, May 2026
Great pub tour with Martin, went to some old not well known publicized pubs for tasting and music. The group became friends quickly in this experience and had a great time.
Calin_T, May 2026

Martin was an outstanding guide. He loved what he was doing and kept us engaged and laughing the whole time. By the end of the tour we were all friends, laughing and having a great time .
Bethany_S, May 2026
A very fun and funny introduction to 4 pubs in Dublin, including a chance for dinner and ending with music. Wonderful group to spend the evening with. Dubliners are also very welcoming and ready to chat. Highly recommend!
Thomas_C, May 2026
Rob was amazing and gave us a true feel of real Dublin pubs and neighborhoods. Evening was well paced and brought the group together. Rob created a wonderful experience.
Gina_S, May 2026
The tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We had fun.
Small group size worked out really well.

Arrived from the US at 9:00am and after a nap and late lunch we were ready to explore the pub scene. The tour was perfect…our guide was an entertaining Irishman with the gift of gab. He explained the history of Guinness, different kinds of beers and taught us how to do a perfect draw. The focus was on beer, but there was also whiskey and a wonderful gin and tonic. There is an opportunity to buy food at one of the establishments…we did not partake, but it looked good and everyone seemed pleased. There was Irish music at the last stop, but the space was small and cramped…but at that point we were having such fun we didn’t care.
Would definitely recommend.
Karen_P, Apr 2026
We had Martin as our tour guide. He was so much fun and had a great sense of humor! We loved being able to pour our own Guinness at Nealons and appreciated touring where the locals go to drink! Thank you Martin!
Marcus_Z, Apr 2026
Great evening in local bars with a local host. Money well spent to experience the authentic Dublin bar scene. Best tour in Dublin.
Kimberly_A, Apr 2026
Rob was fantastic! At each pub he gave us a bit of history about the place and the spirits we were tasting. He was very knowledgeable and made it a very fun and enjoyable experience! Highly recommend his tour!
Shay_W, Mar 2026
Going out on this tour with Rob was absolutely amazing, it was like meeting up with a friend you hadn't met for ages, you'll be up to date with the traditional pubs you're brought to, if you're also a fan of the show 'Skins season 3/4' this should be great for you. I'll definitely be booking again within the year.
Alejandro_S, Mar 2026
Our guide Rob was very helpful, knowledgeable and overall just a great ambassador to the city of Dublin.
Kevin_K, Mar 2026
We had an awesome experience with our tour guide Rob and the other people on the tour! The tour had a great balance of the history of beer and allowing the conversation to flow freely. Good value that allows you to try multiple local beers and move to several locations. It was a lot of fun meeting everyone! Would recommend as a perfect opportunity to explore Dublin.
Kathy_k, Mar 2026
Awesome time. Made a few new friends and enjoyed the whole experience. Rob was our pub guide and he was wonderful.
Dena_S, Mar 2026
Rob, our guide, was an absolute delight! Very knowledgeable, quick wit, and made the whole evening grand! Loved discovering less touristy places and sampling a variety of Irish spirits. Would highly recommend!!

Evangeline_A, Mar 2026
I met so many people from different parts of the country during the tour..all were lovely folks! I did the Guinness/Jameson tour in the morning and finished my day with this tour. I was one drunken female by the end of the night lol but it was really fun!
Amira_O, Feb 2026
I had an amazing time! The tour was wonderful and Martin was just lovely! The pubs were lively and the drinks were fabulous! This was MUCH better than simply just going to Temple Bar!
John_J, Feb 2026
There were three other people on the tour with us. They were great company and we really enjoyed chatting with them. The guide was fine until he led us into a very small very crowded little pub, suggested a place we could stand then banged out of there like his shorts were on fire. It was an odd abrupt poorly planned end.
Michael_O, Feb 2026
Really wonderful and informal tour. Felt like drinking around Dublin with a friend instead of an educational tour.
