This tour was informative and fun to do with a large group and knowledgeable guides. The time in bars for a drink between stops was only 20 minutes, another 10 minutes would’ve added been perfect. Overall, would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Dublin!

We had a great time with Collum and John. The pubs were interesting and the mix of poetry, songs, recitations, and history of the city and pubs was fun and engaging. We also had plenty of time to grab a few drinks along the way. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see some cool pubs, hear great songs, and learn more about Dublin's past and present literary figures.
