Swap clubs for pubs

If there’s one thing the Irish capital is famous for, it’s the iconic drinking culture. Traditional red-bricked pubs are at the center of socialization, and personalized night tours in Dublin are the perfect opportunity to experience a true Irish pub-crawl. You could explore the soul of Dublin’s nightlife in the historic Temple Bar district, or hop between century-old institutions buzzing with chatter and festive Irish fiddles. Wherever you end up on night tours in Dublin, you won’t be far from the unrivaled Irish pub culture and tipsy locals up for conversation and a good time.

Choose your speed

Night tours in Dublin can go many different ways – it all depends on your mood. The Irish capital is overflowing with fantastic venues, from super-trendy clubs and sleek cocktail lounges to rowdy traditional pubs that feel like traveling back in time. Raucously drinking and dancing the night away is easy in a city like Dublin. But if you prefer your evenings a little more low-key, night tours in Dublin still have plenty to offer. Clap along to live Irish music, catch a movie, take a moonlit stroll along the River Liffey, or feast on a hearty Irish stew at a much-loved local institution.

Latest reviews from our guests

We had a wonderful time with our guide Aurora! She is very knowledgeable of the city and fun to talk to during the tour. She was very understanding and accommodating of us have a bit of jet lag since we landed the day before the tour. There were spots already picked out although she is very receptive of feedback if we wanted to stay at a stop of a moment to take pictures or take in the scenery. 10/10 would love to have as a guide again!

Caroline was fantastic today with our family. She did a great job understanding what we wanted and tailoring the tour to our needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone else that comes to Dublin.

What an amazing adventure. We saw things and did things that we would never be exposed to on a standard tour. Our guide Dom was out of this world! He revealed to us several secret places while saving some time for the tourist things. He corrected more than a few other guides that we passed by in the tourist areas. It was also amazing to have a guide that was willing to not only take us to the pub, but show us how a Guinness is supposed to be consumed! He was even able to talk us into a tour that we missed because our ship arrived late.

Dom was one of the best guides we have ever had. He shows you the real Ireland and still gives you time for the touristy stuff as well. We got to see and do things that you just don’t get on the regular tours and he’d often tell us how some of the canned info other guides provide isn’t always quite right. We saw so many things, went so many places, and Dom was able to talk us into places even when we missed some events times due to our ship arriving late.
