Perfect Pint is and has been one of our best experiences in Dublin. All there people are truly amazing. This was my 4th time doing this tour and it has gotten better every time. I would highly, highly recommend doing this tour, especially if you want to learn about some iconic pubs, and learn about Guinness and if you want to laugh and have an amazing time. They are truly the best.

Old bars and Dublin.
My husband and I had the best time ever with Dennis. No other people were on this trip so we got a lot of attention. Loved going to those old bars and talking about anything!! Highlight of our trip in Dublin.

Absolutely worth every penny! 🍻
I made sure my friends visiting from America did the Perfect Pint Tour while they were in Dublin, and I’m so glad we did. Even though I’ve lived in Dublin for seven years, I learned so much about the history of Dublin and Ireland that I had never heard before. It was such a fun way to experience the city from a completely different perspective.
The staff at every pub we stopped at were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. And John Kavanagh, The Gravediggers truly lived up to the hype. Without question, it was the best pint of Guinness I’ve ever had!
We also had an amazing Belfast Coffee at the Sackville Lounge, which was another highlight.
But the biggest shout-out has to go to our guide, Keith, who is also the owner. He was brilliant, knowledgeable, funny, personable, and clearly passionate about Irish history and the perfect pint. He made the whole tour feel relaxed, entertaining and genuinely enjoyable.
And to top it all off, we ended the tour by pouring our own pint of Guinness, which was such a fun way to finish the experience.
If you’re visiting Dublin, I would absolutely recommend doing this tour. And even if you’ve lived here for years, you’ll still learn something new. My American friends loved it, and I loved being able to show them a side of Dublin they wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.
5 stars. Absolutely worth every penny!

Amazing!! Such an authentic experience with good company!
Bobby gave us such an amazing tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our family loved it!
We are from California and gained probably the best Dublin experience of the local pubs and best Guinness’s :) We definitely recommend booking this tour.

Highly recommended
Rob was a fantastic tour guide and had a wealth of knowledge of the pubs of Ireland. We got to drink multiple pints of Guinness we learned to pour, which was fun. Also got a taste of some local oysters which were some of the best we’ve ever had. We are from South Carolina and consider ourselves oyster aficionados

A wonderful Pub experience.
We had a wonderful time with Keith who took us to some wonderful and unique pubs. There were 4 others on the tour and it was wonderful meeting them while enjoying Guinness. The tour was a great compliment to the Storehouse tour.
