I made the tour on the 20th of November, and as everyone is telling you here Shane is a great guide, and to chat with him during a pint of Bulmers is also great, because he has lots of stories to tell.
1st stop was at the blue light pub, this was a really cozy little local pub, where you can meet some nice irish folks, and have a chat.
2nd stop was at the highest pub of Ireland, the Fox Pub, this was a more touristic place, but great location, and there was a great irish band playing some nice music
3rd stop was again a more local pub, we were staying there a bit longer than at the other pubs, there was also a great band, and they even played happy birthday for me, when Shane asked them.
So this a great tour, please do it when you're in dublin, because if you just go to the temple bar pubs, then you haven't experienced the Experience of a real iris pub. And the pint is cheaper here a the tour, then in temple bar. So if you like to combine a guided tour with Pubs, then take this tour with Shane
