Great Tour for Authentic Irish Music - My wife and I recently joined a traditional Irish music pub tour in Dublin led by Neil, and it was a genuinely enjoyable experience. Neil was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who made the evening feel relaxed and welcoming. He shared stories about Irish music and culture that added real depth to the tour. The highlight for us was the live music. Each pub featured talented local musicians who played with heart and authenticity. It wasn’t a flashy performance — just great traditional music. You could tell the musicians cared deeply about the craft, and it was a treat to hear them up close. If you're looking for an evening that’s both entertaining and culturally rich, this tour is a great choice.

Highly recommended - Excellent tour! Niall was a fantastic and friendly guide. We made it to some unique spots we never would’ve found on our own. Highly recommended if you want to check out trad music in Dublin and get away from Temple Bar and the touristy spots

Best Irish trad music - Neal was the best guide, we discovered parts of the trad music scene that we would have never found and accessed because of him. The history and integration Irish trad music into pop culture and music was fascinating. Neal was so friendly and kind. He shared his love of music with us and we would do this particular tour again! Everyone will be different because the artists and songs and sometimes locations will be different each time. Thank you Neal and congrats on the new little one!

Authentic trad music in legit local pubs! - We had Seán as our tour guide and could not be happier with our night out. Each place we visited was absolutely legit and had some amazing musicians playing outstanding trad music. Seán worked tirelessly to get us the best spots to experience each performance and was constantly making sure if we needed anything. We were made to feel like VIPs wherever we went and couldn’t be happier when the night was done. A talented musician in his own right he even treated us to an impromptu performance at our last stop! Great tour with a great guide made for a night we won’t soon forget.

An excellent view of Dublin pub music - This was a very good tour. Kieran, our guide, was well-informed, part of the music community himself, and enthusiastic. The pubs were all different so we got a variety of experiences. Kieran also highlighted some of the sights en route between the three pubs we visited. My only criticism is that we spent at least as much time walking as we did listening to music. An hour and 20 minutes in, we had heard only about 30 minutes of music. And at the second stop, the musicians took a break shortly after we arrived (which I understand is hard to anticipate). Otherwise, all good. Just be aware that there’s a lot of walking (and standing)-we had already walked all day!

It was excellent until my phone got pickpocketed - Sean was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. 4 couples including us so a great group. It was a Saturday so knew the pubs would be crowded. Cobblestone very packed, so if you do not like sardine crowds do not go on a weekend. Pipers Corner was very enjoyable and got much closer to musicians. Leaving Pipers Corner my phone got lifted from a shallow side pocket. Not the tour’s fault. Just be advised to keep your phones in a deep pocket and be very careful right outside the pubs. The 3rd pub was shaping up to be very enjoyable, but had to get back to hotel to call phone company and turn phone to lost mode in apple
