Traveler reviews
An Unforgettable Night of Magic and Myths!
Our storytelling pub crawl with Daniel was easily one of the highlights of our trip! We visited three different pubs, enjoying drinks and snacks while Daniel brought the history and mythology of Dublin to life through incredible storytelling. Daniel is a fantastic guide—he made the legends of giants and fairies so captivating and fun. It wasn't just a history lesson; it was a lively, immersive experience that felt like we were just hanging out with a close family friend! We especially appreciated how seamless the evening was: all three bars were expecting us and had a quiet little corner set aside for our group at each place, making it easy to hear every word of the stories. If you want a unique evening that combines great pubs with the magical side of Irish folklore, this is a must-do!
Highly recommend this tour
This is an experience that should be booked out months in advance. Daniel was an absolute gem and it really felt like we were traveling with a local friend with a WEALTH of knowledge about Ireland who didn't shy away from sensitive topics. I really can't recomend this enough, everyone can get something of value from this tour. Take this tour as soon as you get to Dublin, it may just influence what you do and where you go. All the pubs are great and the convo is amazing. Thank you for the experience!!!!
Whiskey trail Dublin
We ended up doing the whiskey trail with Grainne and it was terrific! She was a wonderful guide. So knowledgeable and lots of fun. Thank you!
Storytelling and pubs...
Storytelling and pubs tour through dublin. Daniel was great! He told wonderful stories and was very knowledgeable
Give it a go; you’ll be glad you did!
This felt like a pub crawl with a really smart friend more than it did a tour with a stranger. Daniel, our guide, took us through Ireland’s varied storytelling cycles and mythology, but always made it feel conversational rather than a lecture. We learned so much, and we had a really good time. The food and drink were excellent as well—whoever invented the ham and cheese toastie should have been knighted.
