Overview

Discover Dublin’s famous pub culture with a private tour. Avoid the tourist traps that other pub tours bring you to, and experience the local pubs with us. Fancy it to be really off-the-beaten-path? Just ask!

On this tour, you’ll learn how to drink a Guinness (yes, there is a specific way), the origins of Ireland’s pub culture and heritage, sip some fantastic new Irish craft beers, and try some beers that might be the most interesting beers you’ll ever taste. All of that will be expertly delivered for you by our charming guide. Sure, what’s the point in going to the pub with an Irish person if they can’t engage you in riveting conversation!? Our guide ensures an immersive experience, maximizing your time as you absorb the essence of Irish heritage in a private setting designed for lovers of storytelling, history, and local life. You’ll experience a real ‘old man’/Guinness pub, a modern craft beer pub, a traditional Irish music pub, and a surprise pub."

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
