If I could give this 10 out of 5 stars, I would! I was super lucky (luck of the Irish at work?) and their first tour of the year fell on my boyfriend’s birthday! I knew I had to book it when I found out and it was a highlight of our trip to Ireland! Shane is absolutely wonderful. He is super funny and will make you feel so welcome. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. We went to 6 amazing pubs that all made us feel welcome. We even had someone sing us a song! Pub culture is so quintessential in Ireland and I can’t recommend this enough. Thank you Shane for making this a birthday for Dan to remember!

This was the best tour I’ve had in years and I travel/tour very frequently. I took this tour by myself and I felt extremely safe, welcomed and met people I will never forget. Shane went as far as sending me recommendations to local music venues after the tour. I absolutely recommend this tour and I look forward to taking it next time! Thank you, Shane!

Note: I get carsick easily and never had a problem. I thought it would be too long but I wish it would have went on longer. Believe the 5/5 stars!

The Sunday afternoon tour was a Dublin highlight. Pubs were lively and fun. Shane was an excellent guide. Nothing like it in the city.

What a blast- Shane is an absolute treasure. The countryside pubs were such a nice change of pace from busy Dublin proper. Highlight of our trip. We will most definitely book again!

This is such a fun tour! This was actually my 2nd time doing this tour with Shane and I'll probably do it again the next time I go to Ireland. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than by visiting 3 pubs in the Dublin mountains. The food and drinks are delicious, and the music is fantastic! Shane is such a great guide. He has lots of stories, recommendations, and he is one of the friendliest people that I have met.

This is a MUST! I have been on this tour more than once and will do it on all future visits. It is a great opportunity to visit pubs that are out of the city, chat with locals and hear some incredible music. Shane is a fabulous driver and excellent host. He makes sure that all participants are having a fantastic time and is full of drink recommendations and knowledge!

Just completed our second pub tour, 7 years apart. If possible I would say this may have been even more brilliant than the first, but we loved it both times! Highly recommend this tour! Shane is an excellent tour guide with knowledge about local history, libations and music, he will not disappoint! There is no other tour like this one! You get picked up near Dublin Castle and whisked up into the mountains. Shane helps you, if you’re so inclined, to decide on a local libation or enjoy a personal favorite. His recommendations were spot on! Be it cider, beer or liquor, there’s a chance you won’t be able to experience these libations anywhere else on your Ireland trip. Not only would we recommend this tour to first timers, we plan on taking it every time we return to Dublin!

Highly recommend this tour! It was a highlight of our Dublin trip and almost a year later, we still talk about the trip with friend and family. You’ll leave with new friends, lots of laughs, and good times that you’ll never forget.

I can't say enough good things about this tour and the infamous tour guide, Shane. This tour exceeded my expectations. It is the perfect combination of the hustle and bustle of the city life of Dublin but also the country side filled with gracious locals and great beer. You'll want to go over and over again like me.
