I was in Dublin last weekend and had a great time, however, this trip without a doubt made the weekend! The one thing I wanted to do was show my English friends the 'real' Ireland because Temple Bar is a complete tourist trap and does not reflect the Ireland I grew up in! This trip gave a nice taste of... more

We had so much fun on the pub tour. We organised a group from our office to head out on the pub tour in a private bus. All the pubs are great fun and offer a traditional Irish feel to them. We were escourted into and out of every pub and were looked after very well. Would definitely recommend this... more

We stopped in Ireland for 3 days prior to a Transatlantic tour. We found the Rural Pub Tour information online and decided to take the tour. Shane and Mitch were absolutely amazing we had the best time. I don't really drink but went along for the tour and had a wonderful time. Everyone was so friendly they made you feel... more

I made the tour on the 20th of November, and as everyone is telling you here Shane is a great guide, and to chat with him during a pint of Bulmers is also great, because he has lots of stories to tell. 1st stop was at the blue light pub, this was a really cozy little local pub, where you... more

Shane was one of the best tour guides I have ever had, and I have travelled round the world!! He looked after us and made sure we had as much fun, information and pictures as we needed. Oh and the beer and banter was pretty top form too!! more

We took the tour on Halloween and our guide Shane and driver Mick made it so much fun. I was really nice to be on a tour with a small group. We got lots of information and history of the area of the pubs visited and were made to feel welome everywhere we went. The dinner that was included in... more

I only had a weekend to spend in Dublin and this pub tour made the entire trip worth while. Dublin is an amazing city, but if you would like to get out of the city one day and go to the Irish countryside to see authentic Irish pubs then this pub tour is what you need to do. I went... more

We took the Rural Pub Tours trip on our first day in Dublin, and had a FANTASTIC time. We had a small group, which made it easier for us all to get to know one another. Our tour guide, Shane, and driver, Mick, were wonderful hosts. The Wicklow County countryside was beautiful - an easy way to get to see... more

Have some relaxing fun and take this tour or rural pubs outside of Dublin. The scenery is lovely and the pubs are friendly. We had a mix of older and younger travelers, which was great. Loved the old wood, the music and talking to the local people. Something for everyone. more

I purchased my tickets from the States with no idea what to expect, and I was a little concerned. When we showed up for this pub crawl to see about 5 or 6 elderly women waiting for us, I thought that it was going to be a bust. HOWEVER, after the first stop my perspective was completely changed. Just 20... more
