“meh”
if you want to meet other tourists and you're a social butterfly, this is for you. However, given the fact that Dublin has some of the most beautiful pubs in the world, this tour seemed like a waste of time. You don't go to the actual pubs but some lesser known bars and you're also on a separate floor reserved just for the tour. The guide was very friendly and funny, good organisation too. But l wouldn't book it again.

“Unfortunately it doesn't worth it”
To be honest we were expecting a little bit more information from the guides about the Pubs we are visiting, the area of temple bar etc. Some more background infos. It was just a guidance from pub to pub (4 in total) only with a free shots/ drinks an nothing more. So we were able to Do such a tour by ourselves.

“Great way to soak up the atmosphere of Temple Bar”
There were so many people on the pub crawl but it was well organised although we never really had any contact from the guide - just too many people,
The pubs we were taken to were great, the drinks and the special offers were great and the live music excellent.
Would certainly recommend it and would do it again.

“Went from terrible to decent”
Done pub crawls all over the world and this one was the worst. The night started with confusion about drink specials at the first bar (realized this was an issue at all of them), the crowd was waaaay to big, the guides were no help other than herding sheep from bar to bar then you were on your own until the meet up time. I will admit the bars (2 of 5) were great. Would not do this one again or advise anyone else to.

“Ratio of People Good, Guides Punctual and Entertaining, Free thi”
So when you first arrive you have to cue in, however, it was a confusing when you have a lot of people and could not tell who are your tour guides to cue with and get a wrist band. The free shots are okay.. and the Guinness ad you need to buy a drink first to get it (Not that I think I should really complain since the event itself was 12 Euros). There was a lot of people that we needed to split into two groups. It was a great experience because of the people I met and not a complete sausage fest. The guides were entertaining and punctual. There aren't really beer pong or events, but there was very social people and good live entertainment. Wonderwall was performed like 4-5 times that night though... Not that I am hating. Overall, still enjoyed myself with good company.

“Just ok. ”
It’s like hanging out with 75 of your closest friends. Too big of a crowd to meet anyone. o big that they had us line up single file to even get in the first bar. We left after that so not sure if it got any better. Just ok.
Allison Griffin (English)

“Pub crawl on 25th of November 2018”
On Sunday we also went to the Pub crawl and although it was Sunday the pubs were quite full. Unlike Edinburgh were they take you to bars, we were in pubs only. Live music in everyone, amazing atmosphere in all the places and great drinking deals, of course. The last venue of the night was nothing special, but before that, we went to a couple of very cool places. The only downside was that all of the pubs/bars were in the center (around Temple bar) and are not hard to find by yourself. Maybe it would be more exclusive if there were hidden gems shown to the crowd.

“Fun opportunity to meet new people”
This pub crawl is as much fun as you want it to be- meaning you have to put in some effort to meet new people and have a good time. That being said, if you end up with a group of people you don't click with, you won't have as much fun. I ended up with a small but energetic group, and we had a great time, staying out much longer than the end of the tour.

Es war super lustig. Wir haben nette Leute aus aller Welt kennengelernt. Am Eingang gab es zwar immer einen Shot aber dieser hat sehr verdünnt geschmeckt. Am Anfang gab es ein kostenloses Guinness, in den Bars gab es dann Vergünstigungen. Die Veranstalter waren sehr lustig und es hat riesen Spaß gemacht!

“Fun but a too big group”
The 2 guides were really nice but didn‘t tell us much and the pubs/bars were great too. But we were so many people (really too many!) so we got divided in two groups and that was very chaotic. The last pub was a bit too much outside so we had to walk for a bit.
After all it was a fun night with great people but it could have been better.

Not our first pub crawl but it was a great time, same as before! I was a little disappointed that Irish music was only featired at one venue, but still highly recommended.

“Not really a bar crawl...”
Was really looking forward to this however me and my boyfriend found it quite boring. The bars that we went to were very busy as the group we were in was rather big with only two guides (one of which left after a while) so in a couple of the places we didn't really have time to even get a drink! The guide didn't really interact with the group other than leading us to our next location. Although the places we went were my sort of thing (live music etc), there were no drinking games as there was no one was there to really lead the group as such... Pretty much everyone stayed within their own party. As I've said, the bars we went to were good (we went back to a couple the next night on our own) but in terms on the pub crawl, it wasn't really one! Other than the free shots, I wouldn't really recommend!

Great pub crawl. The guide was very funny and took us to excellent bars in a very cute part of Dublin. Some people say Dublin is ugly- but our guide took us to beautiful spots. All the bars were fun and we had free shots all night. We met friendly, fun and interesting people. My favorite spot was the silent disco. I would do this pub crawl again anywhere

“New Years eve Pub crawl & 1st Jan 2018”
I did the New Years eve pub crawl and also went back for more on the 1st January 2018.
This was not my first pub crawl, however Dublin was up there with my favourites.
Amazing experience, friendly and funny tour guides and great atmosphere. My advice is book this early to avoid disappointment as both nights were busy.
I didn't know that once you pay for it, you can comeback for free the next night. So I paid for both nights. When Ian (Tour guide) found out I had paid twice he called his manager who instantly gave me a full refund. I didn't expect this but I really appreciated this kind gesture. Credit to Ian who was funny and interacted with us all.
Cheap drink deals and shots if you showed the bar staff your wrist band.
For €12 you would be a fool not to book this.

“Nice Tour but to big Group”
It was my first Pub Crawl in Dublin. My Girlfriend, Friend and me paid 36 euros and we get one "Free Guinness or Free Shot" Coin. The Problem is, you have to buy a drink for not less than 4 euros to get your free HALF Pint or a free shot. Also you can't buy one drink and get 3 free drinks for 3 coins.
After the first Pub we went to the pub "THE HUB".
There we got a free shot and 30 minutes time to drink and party.
There is no free Beer Pong! You have to pay the beer by yourself.
The other bars are very nice and the nightclub too.

Terrible host, he was rude and disrespectful towards me and my friends. The pubs were great, and very organized but the guide/host of the pub crawl was inconsiderate. He cussed at me several times and called me a "piece of shit". Inexcusable!!! 0/10, find another company to do a pub crawl with.

“A good pub crawl !”
I enjoyed the pub crawl ! The guid was really funny and the atmosphere was great. I would only improve one thing. The guid should wear something recognizable or carry something recognizable because, when we are quite drunk it's hard to follow him, we don't know where he is and we can get lost easily

“Just brought us to some pubs/bars, nothing more”
I suppose you get your 12 Euro worth in shots and drink specials, but basically all this is a guy leading you to a bar and saying there you go, see you in 45 minutes, then walking off to another bar with his mate. No talking about Dublin, just this way please, there you go. Good musicians I may not have heard otherwise in a couple places. Group was so large that we basically packed the place so no one could move or talk at each venue. They actually split the group but there were still too many people for the size of the pubs. I would do it again, because its worth meeting people and not thinking about where you are going, but just FYI there is nothing extraordinary about the tour. Pace yourself. I did the shots, but got half pints, and by the end of the night I was one of the few that wasn't a total mess...

“great time for all”
Excellent pub crawl by veteran musicians. In a Dublin becoming more touristy and watered down, these musicians keep the spirit of authentic Ireland alive in their jokes, song, and story.

“Expensive pub crawl”
Very expensive Pub Crawl. We need spend a lot of money for drink. The special price in each pub is very expensive. The party atmosphere is not good because the peaple dont drink to much because is very expensive. The positive is he have many people who participate at this pub crawl. Many girls.

“Fun time but where were the games?”
Going to the pubs and getting entry into a club was amazing and it was a great way to meet people from all over. The only thing that was missing were the games that we were promised. The advertisement said there would be flip cup and beer pong but I did not see anywhere where we could've played these games. That would have definitely added to the experience.

“Fun Pub Crawl at the beginning and end”
The pub crawl started off great and it ended great but the two pubs in the middle were lacking some splendor.
