The Best in Dublin!!
I have been on this tour multiple times as it is my favorite tour in Dublin. Shane is a man of outstanding character and wit. He will have you laughing throughout. The 3 pubs each have their own character and are well worth visiting. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you, Shane!

Wonderful Experience: Book This Tour
All I can say for this trip is: JUST BOOK IT! This was so much fun! Sean our guide, was fantastic. He explained pub culture and the beer we could experience. We also were in a small group and had a very nice time meeting and talking with our fellow tour participants. Sean created this warm and friendly environment from the start. The pubs were lovely and the beer was great!

Nice Experience
If you’re looking for a nice afternoon at some local pubs outside of Dublin, this experience is for you. Shane was very knowledgeable, upbeat, and friendly. We enjoyed this experience and would do it again!
On a side note, this experience is great for those with decreased mobility as you are dropped off right at the pub!
Operator response

My favorite tour!
This was my third time taking this tour. It’s my favorite! Shane was our guide,and he’s the best. I don’t know how he keeps everyone name and engages them. He’s an excellent driver too. I told Shane I’ll see him next year when we come for the Ryders cup! With some other family members for him to meet! This is the one tour that I will not miss. Can’t wait to go again!

Great Pub Tour!
I highly recommend the country pub tour with Shane. We went to three pubs in the countryside just outside of Dublin and they were all expecting us and had reserved tables. The tour group was small and friendly and Shane was an informative, friendly and fun tour guide. Shane had a happy group, singing Irish toons on the way back to Dublin. This tour was perfect as we wanted to see a bit more of Ireland other than Dublin.
