Private Dublin Pub Odyssey: Storytelling, and Pub Culture
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."
