Your group has folks who want to explore the city but others who just want to have a beer and relax in a local pub, right? This tour will keep everyone happy as it combines elements of a sightseeing tour with elements of a pub tour. During our 4hours together, we'll stop in 2 pubs (or more if you're so inclined!) during our exploration of Dublin's attractions, history and culture. Once you've booked let us know how you'd like the tour customised as we will tailor the experience to suit you and your group.
Visting the campus. If you want to visit the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5hr tour '(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours'. Access to the campus is limited to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity's rules).
Although on this tour we will only visit more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple bar – the heart or Dublin's nightlife. Stroll the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will show you the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems of what is a overty touristy area.
We will explore the grounds of Dublin Castle (upper and lower courtyards, Chapel Royal, Dubh Linn Gardens) without needing to explore any interiors, which can only be availed of through an official Dublin Castle tour
Along with St Patrick's Cathedral, Christ Church is a remarkable example of Dublin's medieval religious architecture. We'll be visiting the exterior only.
Snap a picture of your group at Dublin's most iconic river crossing! Cross the famous Ha'Penny Bridge, one of Dublin's icons. Take look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (maybe you'll detect the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area. Or simply stop to observe the lovers' locks.

Carl was an AMAZING tour guide and we had loads of fun! The tour was exactly as described and Carl was so knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to great Dublin pubs and worked hard to accommodate our request to see some live music at an off time when they’re not usually playing. He’s a great guy and has loads of information for all of your questions. We loved our tour in Dublin on our cruise stop here. Perfect amount of time to get back to the ship but still feel like you got the Dublin experience!

Our group of six had the best time on our Sights & Pints tour. Eamon was an incredible guide - engaging, astoundingly knowledgeable, funny, and flexible. He cultivated a tour that was perfectly tailored for our interests, preferences and timing. We all saw Dublin and learned about the city's amazing history and personalities in ways that we could never have done on our own. And we made a couple of great, non-touristy pub stops that were well timed and fun and kept our discussion going. It was just perfect. We would not have changed a thing. Cheers to Eamon and Dublin Tour Guide.
Hi Rich, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that your group had such a fantastic time on the Sights & Pints tour with Eamon.

We're especially pleased that you enjoyed discovering Dublin's history and personalities, along with some great local pub stops away from the usual tourist trail. Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to welcome all six of you back on another private tour in the future. Best regards, Tam, Dublin Tour Guide Team
John was very knowledgeable and really tailored our experience to fit our needs. We let him know that we had another walking tour planned the next morning so he kept some of the walking brief which allowed us ample time to enjoy some pints and learn more about the history of Ireland. It was simply perfect because we had a long travel day with several stops on our way to Dublin from Dromoland Castle.

John was amazing. Really made our experience exceptional. He asked what was important to us and catered the tour to our needs. He went above and beyond to make it about us. Having Irish heritage, he looked to see what he could teach us about where our family came from. We could not have had a better experience, his knowledge was unparalleled and made the evening an unforgettable night.
