We did it as a group of 7. What we loved about this self guided pub tour was that we could start when we wanted to and could do it on our timeline. We had lots of fun!!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm thrilled to hear that your group of 7 had lots of fun and that you enjoyed the flexibility of playing on your own timeline. That freedom is exactly why we built the app this way. Hope you'll explore another city together with us soon! Thanks, Alex – Founder of Questo
Not bad, a good walk through the central areas of Dublin and some of the old pubs. This needs updating for the future as 2 of the pubs are now closed down and another has painted over the clue we were looking for. Which was disappointing.
Thank you for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed the walk through Dublin's central areas and historic pubs, but I completely understand why finding closed pubs and a painted-over clue was disappointing. Cities are always changing, but that means we need to stay on top of it! Your feedback is incredibly helpful, and I've already shared these details with our local creators so they can update the route and replace that missing clue immediately for future explorers. I'd love to make up for those hiccups and give you a flawless experience next time. Please email us at explore@questoapp.com so we can send you a free quest for your next adventure!
First pub we found easily. The story on the app was really disjointed and didn't make sense. Next couple of pubs we couldn't find what we needed for the points. Gave up and did our own thing
Thanks for trying the Dublin Old Town pubs quest. Sorry the story felt disjointed and clues were hard to find. If you message us in the app, we’ll help live; and if you’d like a refund or credit for another quest, contact Viator support and we’ll approve it.
Didn't use on specific date & was locked out to use a later .... unable to get credit or reset date to use

Fun way to see the pubs in Dublin. Enjoyed solving the puzzles at each pub and of course trying the drinks along the way.
We're thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring Dublin's pubs while solving puzzles! It’s always fun to blend a bit of challenge with discovering new spots, especially when there’s a refreshing drink to enjoy after each stop. Looking forward to your next adventure with us!
Enjoyed the history lessons and visiting all the pubs and eateries (some of which were too fancy to go into). The story was hard to follow, and some of the puzzles were too difficult. Great concept, the execution needs improvement
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the history lessons and exploring the pubs and eateries, although some were too fancy to enter. We appreciate your feedback on the story and puzzles; we'll work on improving the execution while maintaining the great concept. Thank you for sharing your experience!
We were a family of 6 in Dublin for 3 days, ages ranged from 18 to 55! Looking for something fun to do which involved a pub crawl we found this game, it was the perfect solution for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed the story and visiting each of the 11 pubs for a pint, most of the pubs would not have been found without playing this game. Definitely recommend, great fun for EVERYONE!
What a wonderful way to explore Dublin as a family! We're delighted to hear that our game provided the perfect solution for everyone. It's fantastic that you all enjoyed the story and had a memorable time visiting each of the pubs. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for more fun adventures in the future!
We had great fun and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, many of the pubs included wouldn't have been found without playing and we enjoyed a pint in 10 of the pubs! We also enjoyed the interesting facts and the story too ☺
That sounds like a fantastic time! We're thrilled to hear that you had so much fun exploring and discovered some new pubs along the way. It's always a pleasure to hear that our players enjoy the interesting facts and stories woven into the experience. Cheers to many more enjoyable adventures!
We were waiting and they didn’t showed up. Waiting on a response from the operator for a full refund.
We understand that you were expecting a human guide to be present during the activity. However, it's important to note that our activity operates on a self-guided basis, where everything is managed through our Questo App with the support of your phone. There is no human guide physically present at the location. Please know that you can play the game any time at any date with your booking - please contact us via chat or send us an email at care@questoapp.com for more details and guidance on how to play.
It was a fun experience, we loved the clues, some harder than others. We liked the fact that the timer paused between clues and pubs which allowed us to add some exploration of our own in some areas as well as enjoy a drink. The competitive members of our group would have like to know how we ranked in our completion time against other travellers 🤣
Thank you so much for the good review and feedback. We appreciate your sharing your experience and we hope that you can play your next game soon with your family and friends.
