Martin was a great tour guide. We’d already been to a number of pubs on prior nights so we wondered if we needed to go on this tour. Turns out it was great. We were so glad we went. It was great to visit an area away from Temple Bar.

We had a great time with our tour guide Martin and the other folks we met on the tour! It was interesting to learn about some of the pubs in town.

Conor was a fantastic guide; he was able to blend history with culture and humor. Successfully makes you feel like you’re not just a tourist, but a friend.
Honestly, he created a night that I’ll never forget. Very happy I booked this tour and would 100% recommend to a friend.

We went to 4 stops. We got fantastic information. I learned the proper way to drink a Guinness. The last stop had live music. It was a little cramped for the size of our group. We learned about craft beers in Ireland. Overall a good time. Good amount of drink.

Fun tour, Sam was our guide. He was clearly very knowledgeable but a little too serious for my liking. He focused on the alcohol which was fine but I would have liked more about the pubs. He reprimanded the group for having fun/lughing and then threatened to stop the tour because he thought someone didn’t pay. Have a better system to avoid that issue. Recommended and would do it again.

It’s the kind of tour where you start out as strangers and walk away as friends. Rob is a genius guide ver knowledgeable and gets everyone involved. The different pub stops were great, you got to see the different type of pub experiences Dublin has to offer. Would highly recommend!

It was a great way to spend an evening in Dublin.
Better than doing it on your own. Guide was there to meet us on time and did a good job

Our host Sam was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a lovely evening with a great group of people of different nationalities. I liked the fact that food wise, you ordered and paid for what you wanted,. Thoroughly recommend.
Jes_V, Jul 2026
Thank you Rob! He was a great tour guide and took us to some different pubs from ones that serve craft beer to places that were a little more of a traditional Irish pub. There were a lot of convos on the history of beer and the pubs themselves. Had a great and low key time for my last night in Dublin!
Leanna_C, Jul 2026
A good experience with a knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the variety of Irish beer, whiskey, and gin.
Cynthia_B, Jun 2026
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

Enjoyed the driver-narrated bus ride across two different days. Easy stop near my hotel. Happy to get to know Dublin.
Helene_B, May 2026
It was such a great experience. We had a big group and guide was awesome and so knowledgeable. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend
Brendan_B, May 2026
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.
Lois_V, Apr 2026
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!
