Fun way to see Dublin and be exposed to some of Ireland’s greatest treasures, her authors. Well organized
Excellent tour. A good balance between entertainment and information. Also a splendid guide to the literary drinking spots of the city. Great fun!
We had wonderful time at this pub crawl. The guides are actors, recreating works of famous Irish authors along with a "quiz" at the end with a prize to the winner. Very warm and friendly, funny and no pressure. HIghly recommend
From start to finish the vibe for this experience was fun, relaxed and informative. Our hosts Frank and Ross were brilliant throughout and the pubs we visited all had history and good beer! Well worth it and a great craic!
The Literary Pub Crawl was the highlight of our four days in the Dublin area. Frank and Ross were fantastic guides and performers. They say the crawl lasts a little over two hours, but at the final bar, the party just kept going and our hosts continued to answer questions and sing traditional Irish songs. And even though we did a tour of Trinity College already, when they took us to the college we learned so many new things. Highly entertaining. If I had any knocks it would be that I think there were a few too many people on the tour and they've got to get a better logo for their prize t-shirt. That's one area where I think A.I. can help. :) Thanks for a wonderful experience guys!
Great storytelling and educational. Highly recommend. Go to some beautiful pubs. Make me want to read Ulysses.

By far the best guided Pub Crawl we’ve ever been on. Hands down! The guides were not only insanely talented and knowledgeable, but funny as hell and genuinely good people. They took pride in their work, pride in their city, and it showed. Bravo!!
