We had a great time there, but you don't tell on the net where to go.
Reviewed by: Lene L, Denmark, October 2006 Note from Viator: We're sorry that you did not know where to meet the tour. The departure point is at Oliver St. John Gogarty's (upstairs). Corner of Fleet Street and Anglesea Street, Temple Bar.
Great stories, good craic and excellent music and musicians. A good selection of pubs. With the weather being great it made it the perfect evening. Would recommend to anyone.

I would have liked to go to more than two pubs, but it was very enjoyable. The music was great and we had good fun all along the way.

Good music and stories by two players on the day we were there. Background lesson on Irish music and how to see the best sessions. But not a must do by any means.

The music was wonderful! But the walk between pubs was way too long, especially in cold, rainy weather. Then, at the end, we were just left on our own to get back to our hotel.

We had a great time, and the hosts were wonderful. We met some other interesting people as well. We were able to attend a music session later in the week, and it was just as our hosts said it would be. We were able to appreciate it much more.

Enjoyable. The folks we were with were rude to the musicians, but we liked it.

It was great. My only gripe was finding the guy passing out the tickets upstairs at Gogarty's. So many people and not enough signs saying where to wait, where to find the guy to turn the voucher in to, etc. But the music was great and we had a grand time!!

The pub crawl was really interesting as far as the Irish Music goes, but there wasn't as much "crawling" as I think the website advertises. We only went to two different bars, so if you're looking for a real crawl experience, I don't think this is it. BUT on the flip side the music was great and the guides were fun and really knew what they were talking about! Definitely recommend for a taste of real Irish tradition.

We thought we would hear different groups in different pubs. Instead it was one group who took us to three pubs, but still interesting.

Having done the tour before we took my son and his fiancee this time. There was a bit of a late start, possibly due to fewer numbers having booked and we only went to two other pubs apart from the start pub. The performers were good and entertaining and informative but the invitation for people to sing a song themselves was a bit intimidating unless you are a real extrovert, certainly not enough alcohol imbibed to overcome the fear!! Overall an enjoyable evening though.

It's a good first activity when in Dublin.

We had a great time - the guides were wonderful and knowledgeable, and the pubs were grand. I would have liked some more traditional songs that we were all familiar with, but it was great, and I would do it again!

The Pub Crawl was one of the highlights of Dublin. Five of us there on St Paddy's weekend and I'd definitely recommend it, especially to get acquainted with the pubs in Dublin. One area to improve - travelling between the pubs was very unorganized. We actually got lost and thankfully my daughter was upfront in the crowd and called us with directions. There was no guidance or help from the tour planner. We would never have found the second pub as we had to cross the river to get there.

I had a great deal of fun. The musicians were great, and explained Irish music very well. It was a bit crowded; some people had to stand or sit on the floor. The prices for beer were very high by United States standards, but I expected that to be the case.
