Absolutley the highlight of our 3 weeks in Ireland. Great tour guide, great food, great drink, great pubs, and great craic. Don't miss out on the time of your lives. These rural pubs are some much more true than the tourist traps in temple bar!!! more

I did this Rural Pub tour with some friends, for my birthday last month. We had a mixture of Cork, Dublin & Monaghan people in our group so we thought it would be nice to do something touristy, outside Dublin City for a change. We had a FANTASTIC day!!! Shane, our guide, especially made the tour for us. He was... more

I really enjoyed the Saturday tour. The meeting location was great(for us) by Trinity College. We went to a variety of rural pubs and drove through the beautiful hilly countryside with baby lambs everywhere. I really liked visiting the countryside since our trip was originally only to Dublin for the week (we ended up stranded for an additional week due... more

The "Thirsty Thursday" rural pub tour was the best night my husband and I had in our week long stay in Dublin. Our guide Shane was so much fun, and really looked after the group while feeling like he was part of it. The pubs were great and the Irish stew at Nancy Murphy's was excellent. The Blue Light, Harbor... more

The rural pub tour takes you into the Dublin Mountains, taking in 3 pubs, The Blue light, Johnny Fox's and the Merry PloughBoy. Lots of Fun.... Well done Shane, you truly have the best job in the world!!! Cheers from Orla down in Clonmel more

My husband and I had the great pleasure of going on the Rural Nights Pub tour with about 11 other excellent folks we got to meet and of course the amazing guide Shane and fantastic driver Mick in March 2010. This trip was by far and away the best find we made during our travels in Ireland. All the folks... more

I wish I was a better wordsmith so I could give this tour the justice it deserves. This was truly the highlight of our week in Dublin. This tour is like going to your neighborhood pubs with friends to meet up with more friends. Sean and Mick could not have been more gracious, but more importantly, they made us all... more

Without a doubt, the Rural Pub Tour was the highlight of my recent trip to Ireland!!! To get the real Irish pub experience when staying in Dublin, you MUST get out of Temple Bar which is crowded with tourists (I, of course, being one of them!)...and I couldn't have imagined a better way to do it than with tour guide... more

I was in Dublin last weekend and had a great time, however, this trip without a doubt made the weekend! The one thing I wanted to do was show my English friends the 'real' Ireland because Temple Bar is a complete tourist trap and does not reflect the Ireland I grew up in! This trip gave a nice taste of... more
