Ciarán was an enthusiastic and informative guide! Not sure this is the must-do tour everyone makes it out to be for the price... I'd read less enthusiastic reviews and make sure it's your cup of tea, but if you have the time for it, like half-pints of Guinness, and really want to hear some trad music with someone knowledgeable who can answer questions, I say go for it!

Excellent

I really enjoyed the trad Irish music tour- it was well organised and our guide was 100% invested in everyone in our group having a great time. The musicians were excellent, and I loved the friendly, authentic pubs, especially the Cobblestone where the atmosphere and community spirit was amazing. It was a really fun and memorable night.
