Overview

My Journey Ireland Historical Pub Crawl – Discover Dublin One Pint at a Time!
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon exploring Dublin’s most atmospheric and historic pubs while uncovering the stories, legends and colourful characters that shaped Ireland’s capital.

With warmth, humour and plenty of craic, your expert local guide brings Dublin’s past to life in the very places where history was made and pints were poured.

No two tours are the same. The pubs we visit are carefully chosen and adjusted to suit the group’s interests and energy on the day, creating a personalised and authentic Dublin pub experience with history, culture and traditional Irish music.

We finish in one of Dublin’s oldest pubs, a hidden gem loved by locals.

Come for the history. Stay for the pints. Leave with a true taste of Dublin.

Small groups, expert storytelling and an experience designed around you.
