- Temple Bar - While this tour focuses on more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple Bar – the heart of Dublin’s nightlife. Wander the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will reveal the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems in this overly touristy area.
- Dublin Castle - We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without entering any interiors, which can only be accessed through an official Dublin Castle tour.
- Christ Church Cathedral - Along with St Patrick’s Cathedral, Christ Church is a stunning example of Dublin’s medieval religious architecture. We’ll be visiting the exterior only.
- Ha’penny Bridge - Snap a picture of your group at Dublin’s most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha’Penny Bridge, one of Dublin’s landmarks. Look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (you might catch the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers’ locks.
- City Hall - A key location of the 1916 Easter Rising and an example of Dublin’s 18th-century architecture.

INCREDIBLE!! - Kevin was beyond incredible. I would highly recommend this tour. He was so knowledgeable, so funny, and just overall was an amazing experience. We did this tour on our honeymoon, and I would gladly book this tour again when we return with more family! I can’t say enough positive things about Kevin and this tour!

A Passionate and Unforgettable Tour in Dublin - Garvan Rushe , our tour guide wasn’t just knowledgeable - he was a storyteller, historian , and proud resident of Ireland! Every stop was brought to life with rich detail and personal anecdotes that gave depth and meaning to each place we visited.
What really made the experience truly unforgettable was his passion . You could feel how deeply connected he was to Ireland, the culture and the history. While tucked inside small Dublin pubs along the way,for a pint , he made sure we didn’t just see Ireland - we felt it.
If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the surface, guided by someone who truly loves their country and wants you to love it too, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Ireland is beautiful - but seeing it through his eyes made it extraordinary.
Thank you again Garvin,
Dan and Deirdre Brown 🇨🇦

Sights and Pints Tour worth it! - Our experience with John Caffery as our Dublin "Sights and Pints" guide was more than worth it. We were told John is a walking encyclopedia about all things Dublin and we whole hardly agree. It was welcoming to John for a pint (or 2) and marvel at his ability to share and answer questions.

Fantastic! - We did a walking tour with John our first day in Dublin. He was fantastic! Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and made sure we had plenty of pictures. We felt as if John went above and beyond to help us experience Dublin the proper way. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the future.

Really enjoyed our tour... - Really enjoyed our tour with Carl. Very well versed in the history and told our kiddo ghost stories about the pubs so slightly less boring for her :) . He even went out of his way to find a glass store after learning my sister likes collecting whiskey glasses. Easy, laid back and fun and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a local feel tour.

Site and Pints - it was the best of both worlds ! - Carl provided a wonderful experience for my family that started with a quick history lesson to help set the stage for the sights he was about to show us on the tour. He was personable and knowledgeable and really helped make this experience worthwhile. I highly recommend Carl !!.

Sights and Pints with Austin - Austin provided our group of six with a great "Sights and Pints" tour of Dublin. We found Austin to be a wealth of knowledge about everything to do with Dublin and Ireland in general. Four of the people in our group had never been to Ireland, and after the tour they remarked how much they learned in the four hours spent with Austin. During the tour we stopped at a couple of pubs and spent time chatting with Austin about everything from the famine to what's in an Irish name. If you are looking for a nice overview of Dublin/Ireland (and a couple of pints in the process), I would highly recommend the Sights and Pints Tour with Austin. You will not be disappointed.
