Absolutely amazing time. Literary enthusiast or not the team made the tour captivating! The history behind Irelands literary greats was fascinating to learn about and knowing the history behind the pubs as well really pulled it all together.
Great evenings entertainment and enjoyable way to spend time in some of Dublin’s landmark pubs. Frank and Finbarr were brilliant guides and entertainers. Couldn’t recommend highly enough
Thank you sir?! We really appreciate your comments COLM/FRANK/FINBARR
Wonderful evening hosted by Frank and Finbar who entertained us throughout with excerpts and tales of famous Irish writers whilst we drank our way through 4 pubs. I learned a lot about these writers while having a very enjoyable time. Highly recommended.
The tour was great they were both so talented and knowledgeable. The tour was the highlight of my trip!!
Thanks Frances Frank, Finn
Had a phenomenal time on this tour (despite not liking beet and knowing very little about Irish literature!) The tour guides are trained actors who are gifted storytellers. The crawl takes you through different pubs (as well as trinity college) and it was so fun to hear stories about different authors. Would strongly recommend for an evening in Dublin!
Thanks Julia Frank, Fin
Fun way to see Dublin and be exposed to some of Ireland’s greatest treasures, her authors. Well organized
Thanks Tara Fin, Frank. Ross
Excellent tour. A good balance between entertainment and information. Also a splendid guide to the literary drinking spots of the city. Great fun!
Thanks Anita We appreciate your review Colm
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
Thank you Sir
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!
Thanks Roving! Delighted you enjoyed Colm, Frank, Ross
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!
Thanks a mill Rick Colm, Frank, Ross
