This was our favorite thing we did in Dublin. Shane is a great guide. The three pubs were cozy and welcoming, even in a busy Friday night. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you Heather for choosing our tour & we're delighted you had a memorable experience with us. Thanks also for taking the time leave a review. Kind regards Rural Pub Tours Team
Perfect tour in a small, modern travel bus. Shane, the tour guide, is great and passionate about pub culture. He explained the beers to us and recommended brands. It was also a great group with an international mix and many interesting, good conversations.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und dass Sie sich für unsere Tour entschieden haben. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen alle Aspekte unserer Tour gefallen haben. Herzlichen Dank! Ihr Team von Rural Pub Tours
This was a great evening, lots of fun and laughs with fellow travelers as well as with locals at the pubs we visited outside Dublin. The road trip alone is fascinating, lovely countryside, narrow twisty roads, beautiful hedgerows and stone walls. But the absolute best part was our fantastic driver, Sean, who kept the party going! If you want to do something a bit different and enjoy a really good time, don't miss this trip!
Thank you Barbara_M for joining our tour & for taking the time to review your experience. It's a delight to know our tour was a highlight for you & your husband. Thanks again Rural Pub Tours Team
Hi myself and Andrew had the most amazing evening shared with another couple from America, Aaron and Dee Dee. Shane our tour guide was a delight to meet, very funny, knowledgeable and friendly. The pubs we visited were so welcoming, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, bit of a heavy head the next day and I was introduced to my now favourite drink Dingle Gin! Thanks Shane for a great time love Jane and Andrew xxx
Hi Jane & Andrew Lovely meeting you both & thrilled to hear you had a fantastic experience on our tour. Thanks for being part of it & for taking the time to post a review. Many thanks Rural Pub Tours Team
This small-group pub tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The intimate size made it feel personal and relaxed, and we got to really enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Every pub had its own local charm, and it was clear these were places we never would have found on our own. Our guide created such an easygoing, friendly atmosphere and it felt less like a tour and more like a fun night out with locals. Great drinks, great conversation, and a true taste of the neighborhood scene. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic pub experience without the big tourist crowd.
Thank you Dixie D for taking the time to review your tour with us & we're delighted you had an excellent time and you loved all the aspects of the experience. Thanks for choosing our tour and for taking time to share your experience with others. All the best Rural Pub Tours Team
We did the Rural Pub Tour with Shane for my brother in law’s 50th birthday weekend and it was hands down one of the best nights of our entire trip. This isn’t a touristy pub crawl. This is real - cozy local pubs, incredible music, hilarious moments, meeting locals, making new friends, and laughing all night long! Shane is an absolute legend and somehow made every stop better than the last, and every pint came with a story. If you don’t like making the kind of memories you’ll still be talking about years from now — this is NOT the tour for you. 😉 If you do like all of that? Book it immediately! 10/10 would recommend! Sláinte to Shane & the Rural Pub Tour 🍀🍻
Thanks meaghano41 for choosing our tour for your brother laws birthday celebrations when you visited Dublin. Glad to hear our tour is a memory you'll never forget. Thanks again for the detailed review & we hope to welcome you back in the near future. Many thanks Rural Pub Tours Team
What an amazing experience! Mingling with the locals, learning about the Guinness rings on the glass, and discovering Gunpowder Gin were just a few of my highlights. Shane’s hilarious personality and beautiful singing voice were an added bonus!!!! It was my favorite part of our trip.
Thanks for the review & for the lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed the G&T's Slainte Rural Pub Tours Team
Our guide Shane was a joy to spend the evening with. He knows everyone in the small communities where he takes his guests. The pubs, and the people, were amazing. This was probably my favorite experience traveling solo in Ireland
Hi Kathleen, Delighted to hear you had a wonderful evening with us & our tour was your favorite experience. Thanks for joining us & for taking the time to submit a review. Many Thanks Rural Pub Tours Team
Do not pass over this tour when making reservations, it was a great way to mingle and relax with locals and other tourists. We started as a small group of strangers and with Shane’s charm, humor and knowledge we ended the tour as friends. The pubs and patrons made us feel so welcome and we even joined in a few sing alongs. I would 100% recommend this tour and our guide Shane. I would book again if I had the opportunity to return to Ireland.
