See Landmark Sites of Rebellion & Resistance
Starting at Wolfe Tone’s statue, you’ll discover how revolutionary ideas spread through Dublin. Along O’Connell Street, examine bullet-scarred buildings and the iconic GPO while hearing stories from 1916. Stand where the Civil War began at the Four Courts, and end at the Custom House, once engulfed in flames during the War of Independence.

FAQ
Our tours are different because we don’t follow a fixed list. Instead, your guide uses local knowledge to craft the route on the day—choosing pubs for their pour quality, atmosphere and crowd. It’s an authentic experience shaped by your tastes and our expertise, not a checklist.
Booking is simple: select your preferred date on our Public Tour page and complete checkout via our secure payment link. Because departures are limited, we recommend booking early. If you have special requests or want a private tour, contact us directly to design your own Dublin experience.
The price covers your expert guide and reserved tables at each stop. Drinks aren’t included—our tours are pay‑as‑you‑go so you can savour as many or as few pints as you wish. For private groups, we can arrange custom options; just ask when booking.
Our tours are designed for adults since they focus on visiting pubs and enjoying Guinness. Guests must be 18 years or older; we welcome non‑drinkers who want to soak up the atmosphere. If you have younger participants, contact us to discuss private arrangements.
Public tours typically last about three hours with four stops; however, we’re flexible—if we’re loving a pub, we may stay longer and adjust the route. Private tours can span three to four hours or more depending on your group’s pace and preferences.
