This tour was super fun. We were looking for light humor and a scenic way to see the Temple Bar area without the craziness. The musicians were fun and had great attitudes to get the crowd involved,

I'm not really sure what we were expecting when we booked this tour, but it more than exceeded them. Our musicians/tour guides were fabulous and very entertaining. We got to enjoy traditional Irish music in traditional pub settings, and learned a few sing-a-longs, too. Everybody on the tour was very nice and seemed to enjoy themselves; there was a wide range of ages. This pub crawl did not resemble any of my experiences in other Dublin (Temple Bar) pubs, but it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it to everybody!

The weather was not cooperating at all, it was raining all the time, but we managed to visit all the places - Trinity College, Old Irish Parliament, Dublin Castle, City Hall and Temple Bar area. Our guide - Peter was very knowledgeable, he tried to make Irish history more comprehensive for us.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better Review by Ruth E K, October 2012

I thought we were going to authentic Irish Pubs and mingle with the rest. Instead, we were in a private room at each pub. The musicians were really good, but all of this could have taken place in any room in Temple Bar. I was quite bored.

Interesting and fun. You'll get loads of Irish music ion just about any pub, especially in Temple Bar, Dublin. Here you'll get a bit of musical history.

We did the Traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl on a Saturday night; it was Very Busy in Temple Bar. We met at one bar but immediately left and went somewhere else. It would have been fun to start at the bar we met at, but maybe they were too busy for that. Would have liked to have gone to 1 more place. The musicians were AWESOME and their stories were great! I would do this again

Temple Bar is tricky. On one hand it's a tourist-oriented theme park. On weekend nights it can get fairly obnoxious with crowds of 'lads' getting loaded and acting it. That said, if you choose wisely you can have an awesome time in Temple Bar. Here are three of my favorite pubs. They're not secret, by any means, but they tend to quiet afternoons and have actual locals drinking in them. 1) Stag's Head, on Dame Ct. This is a lovely spot, the food they serve is perfect in a pub sort of way, and the atmosphere is just what you'd want in an old-school pub. 2) Grogan's Castle Lounge on South William Street. Ah, Grogan's. Back in the day this was an island of wonder, one of the few pubs that guaranteed a fine conversation and a pleasant drink. It's changed a lot, more trendy now, still good though. 3) Front Lounge on Parliament St. It's newish, part of the late 1990s gold rush in Temple Bar. But it's still one of the better 'modern' pubs.

Fantastic. Absolutely loved it. The musicians were excellent being both talented and informative. It was great to hear real Irish music from local musicians rather than the usual Irish pub songs that you could hear coming out of every other Temple Bar hotel. There was a big crowd as tickets were also available on the night. This was not a problem and in fact added to the atmosphere. The night went way too quick and was the highlight of our stay in Dublin.

We had a fun time on this tour of a few of the Temple Bar area pubs, the history and information was well worth the trip.
