Super fun--exceeded expectations! - I had such a great time on this unique, well-organized pub crawl, which included 6 great pubs (some with live music). The guide has such a fun, hilarious personality, and it was neat to see him interact with his friends and locals in the pubs in an area where he was born and raised. The food at the third pub was also excellent. I highly recommend this tour and would absolutely go again.

This tour made my year!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Do not sleep on this tour, y’all, because it was amazing. Our phenomenal tour guide Shane took us into the Dublin and Wicklow mountains for 10 hours of rural pub culture. We went to six pubs, each one unique. Loved soaking in the decor, talking to locals, and getting to know our group. Johnnie Fox’s apparently has a cult following. We had dinner at the fourth pub and I had this succulent venison in a heavy dark sauce with potatoes and veggies. The fifth pub was a delightful shoebox with the best locals. And the last pub featured live music. Shane regaled us with drinking culture tales and taught us pub songs along the way. This was one of my dad’s favorite parts of our two week trip, and he’s not a huge drinker! Thank you guys - very well done!

A very fun experience! - Just all in all a fun time! Interesting pubs to visit, and Shane is a gift to us all. If you're a fan of Craic and alcohol, this is a tour for you.

This pub tour was just... - This pub tour was just what we were looking for. The tour was guided by Shane who was amazing. We learned a ton about beer, whiskey, gin, and real Irish pubs. Highly recommend this tour to get out of the touristy Dublin Pubs.

Favourite Experience in Ireland - Just returned to Nova Scotia from a week long adventure in Ireland with my Dad and brother. This tour with Shane was our very first booked tour the night we arrived. We also did Guiness Brewery and both Jameson distillery tours, among many other things. BY FAR, this tour was our favourite! Shane is fantastic! You really need to go on this tour and appreciate unique rural pubs and such great local culture and hospitality. If you don’t completely enjoy it, then you don’t know how to have fun!
