My all-time favorite tour!

We had an amazing tour! The pubs were lovely. Getting into the countryside to experience local pubs was a great chance to see their role as community gathering sites. The trips between the pubs were amazing, with the beautiful Wicklow mountains providing incredible scenery, and our guide Shane keeping us laughing throughout. Shane is a phenomenal host! Best tour ever!!

A glimpse of Ireland’s pub culture

A great option for a slice of life view of Ireland’s pub culture. Really gets off the beaten path and the locals at each pub were eager and excited to meet us. The small group format and stops at several pubs allows you to make quick friends with your fellow travelers. Shane is an excellent tour guide and his energy is infectious and fun. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour of pubs and countryside

With a 2pm start in the city we were met at the pick up point by Shane who during the course of the next 9 hours proved to be an excellent guide - navigating the country lanes, imparting his knowledge, leading the singing and being sure to include everyone throughout. The pubs visited were a great mixture from local store with bar to former hunting lodges, the latter including a stop for an excellent meal. The beers in the pubs were a great selection, of course including Guinness, with my wife getting the chance to pull a Guinness for a local at one stop! The last pub had locals playing Irish instruments and songs in a compact, atmospheric room - a great final stop. The fact that there were guests from the US visiting for the 3rd time speaks volumes for this experience and we would certainly do it again if back in Dublin. Philip and Lindsey

All of the fun and no need to drive!!

Taking time to visit Ireland's countryside pubs is one of the best ways to experience local pub culture - it's a slice of life in each of the carefully selected pubs - all a little different. Shane is an expert in beer (and cider!) and can tell you pretty much everything about beer, he knows everyone, they know him and it's 9 hours of pure fun... Just go you'll be glad you did!
