this is my second time in Dublin and my second time taking the Traditional Music Pub Crawl. This time I was with my son and we booked it for the night we landed in Dublin (to force ourselves into the new time zone). It was every bit as good and enjoyable this time as the last. We followed two musicians... More

This was one of the best things we did and my wife really enjoyed it. The musicians were informative and very talented, plus personable. Even if you are not a drinker, I recommend doing this tour – reasonably priced, fun, and a chance to meet other people! More

We did the Traditional Irish Music Pub Crawl on our first night in Dublin, and it was a phenomenal experience. Our guides (Eugene and Anthony) were funny and talented. The pub crawl takes you to three separate bars - our tour actually included a fourth "after party" stop for those who were interested. It is not a typical college kid... More

My group was in Ireland for 10 days, ending with 3 in Dublin. While Dublin was fun, I didn't find the city as interesting as the countryside. HOWEVER, this experience was the absolute best part of my time in Dublin. The tour guides were witty and amusing and talented. We even bought the cd that they were offering. You get... More

We really liked the two guys who hosted the evening. I felt like we got an insider's view to traditional Irish music and we went to some pubs that we most likely would not have tried on our own. It is a great way to start your trip because it informs the rest of your visits to pubs and you... More

Even though I'm not a drinker, I do love Irish music. This was one of the best things we did. The musicians were so informative and so very talented. They also had a great sense of humor. Experienced the "real" music and pubs! More

This is a must do tour if you like Irish music. You walk from pub to pub and they tell you folk lore and the derivation of the music, also the history of the instruments as well. They have a cool CD that I have enjoyed since returning from the trip. More

We had heard about the Musical Pub Crawl. It was such fun! And as the "tour guides" will confess, they are musicians first and not tour guides. The tour can be registered for ahead of time and I would recommend that, although it is not necessary. We went early for dinner. Very good move on our part!!!! Food at Gogarty's... More

We spent our Saturday evening on the Pub Crawl and had a blast. By far the best time of our trip to Dublin. The musicians were fantastic and very friendly. We highly recommend the Crawl to everyone visiting Dublin. More

My boyfriend and I recently took this tour on recommendation of Rick Steve's tour guide of Dublin and we were disappointed. It's overpriced and sometimes boring. Two musicians took us around to 3 bars and played traditional Irish music. I would suggest just taking your money and making your own pub crawl around temple bar area More
