Description

The pub is much more than a place to enjoy a good pint. On this tour, you'll discover why it holds such an important place in Irish culture and how it has been the heart of the country's social life for centuries. A guided walking experience where the history of Ireland is told through its pubs. We'll visit places linked to different aspects of Irish culture: we'll get to know one of the best pubs to discover Irish whiskey and learn how this drink became a national symbol; we'll talk about the origin of the famous Irish coffee and the history behind one of the country's best-known drinks; we'll discover pubs with traditional live music; and we'll also find quieter spots that preserve the cozy atmosphere that made Irish pubs famous around the world. Throughout the tour, we'll explore the influence of the Vikings in the founding of Dublin, the Celtic roots of festivities like Halloween, the struggle for Irish independence, and the role that pubs played as meeting places for debating ideas, sharing stories, and keeping local traditions alive. More than a pub crawl, this experience is a journey through the history, legends, and identity of Ireland. An opportunity to discover Dublin like a local, combining culture, curiosities, traditions, and some of the city's most iconic pubs. And to round off the tour, those who wish can take part in a tasting of five very Irish beers, selected to offer a journey through the country's rich brewing culture.
