Dublin, Ireland

Full description

Discover Dublin’s famous pub culture with a private tour. Avoid the tourist traps that other pub tours bring you to, and experience the local pubs with us. Fancy it to be really off-the-beaten-path? Just ask! On this tour, you’ll learn how to drink a Guinness (yes, there is a specific way), the origins of Ireland’s pub culture and heritage, sip some fantastic new Irish craft beers, and try some beers that might be the most interesting beers you’ll ever taste. All of that will be expertly delivered for you by our charming guide. Sure, what’s the point in going to the pub with an Irish person if they can’t engage you in riveting conversation!? Our guide ensures an immersive experience, maximizing your time as you absorb the essence of Irish heritage in a private setting designed for lovers of storytelling, history, and local life. You’ll experience a real ‘old man’/Guinness pub, a modern craft beer pub, a traditional Irish music pub, and a surprise pub."

Brilliant Historical Pub Tour with Austin

If you want to experience the real Dublin, book this pub crawl with Austin. My family, and I loved every minute of it. Austin is incredibly knowledgeable about Dublin’s history and clearly passionate about sharing its culture. He took us to some fantastic spots we probably wouldn't have found on our own. It was a major highlight of our family trip to Ireland—great pints, amazing stories, and top-tier guiding. Five stars!
