Great tour with Fergal. Really enjoyed getting into some “local” pubs where he knew the operators and patrons. Lots of history included in this tour. Fergal tailor made our experience according to our tastes. Thanks!

(WALKING TOURS ONLY) Hi folks, I'm Fergal, it means "bright man" in Irish Let's see! Born and bred in Dublin, for over a decade I've been lucky enough to guide people around home town. I love to be able to stroll through the city and take in whatever that day's offerings are. I rarely take larger groups now as I guess I prefer a style of guiding that is more based on a chat rather than a lecture. No matter where you are from, I hope that to some extent I will be able to draw comparison between the way we do things here and the way it's done in your neck of the woods. It's incredibly important to me that my guests get an accurate and unbiased account of Ireland's history, culture and politics to name but a few, albeit given from a personal viewpoint. It's equally important to me that you enjoy your time in Dublin. A sense of fun, or 'craic' should be had by you and I both. I'm a bit of a generalist in terms of my tours. In a good days sight seeing we should cover a good amount of not only what's to see in Dublin, but also discuss many topics that will give you a strong insight into life here. However, if you have special areas of interest that that we absolutely must cover, even in great depth, let me know and I'll sort it. In fact that goes for each of my tour itineraries. Being inflexible is a most un-Irish characteristic, so lets not be too rigid. So why not drop me a line and we'll come up with a plan for your trip? - Failte Ireland qualified National Tour Guide - Dublin City Ambassador - City of a Thousand Welcomes Project - MA International Relations, DCU - BA European Studies, Trinity College - Erasmus, Sciences Po Bordeaux I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. We may have difficulties guiding through the grounds of my alma mater, Trinity College or through the courtyard of Dublin Castle. We'll play it by ear though.

There is one thing we can proudly say with certainty. . . "Ireland's pubs are without equal". I have to say this is an area I know better than most as I worked in the game locally for years. Starting wherever is most convenient, lets take a stroll through a smattering of Dublin's best ale houses. When amongst small groups of friends we generally always do rounds here, but this might not be possible depending on the size of the group. If you're interested in whiskey, craft beers, the traditional brews, or just sampling the atmosphere, we can fit it all in over 4 or 5 of my favourite select bars. And of course, we can get discuss anything at all, culture, sport, traditions, and even politics or religion. The reality is, if we weren't allowed chat about these in pubs, we'd never get anything fixed. By the end of this tour you will be fully versed in good "Pinting Etiquette". A good toast, a few words in Gaelic, and most importantly how to order like a local!

Thanks, Fergal, for a fun few hours and some insider information about pubs the locals go to. My sister and I enjoyed ourselves and appreciated your company.
We had a great time exploring Dublin’s pubs with Fergal! He tailored the visits to our specific requests and we were able to see a wide variety of places we would not have known about. He also provided recommendations for the remainder of our vacation.
Exactly what we asked for, and much more. Fergal is a great guide to Dublin pubs and music and more, and we really enjoyed our evening with him. We will look for him again on our next visit!
Great tour!
For a perfect day in Dublin, combine Fergal's walking tour with his 'after dark' tour. It's a great way to experience all that the city has to offer. Fergal is professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he's just fun to hang out with. Book with confidence!
So the itinerary for each pub crawl will likely change, especially as some pubs are extremely busy on certain nights, and others have live music on given nights. I will decide on itineraries on a group-by-group basis. However, we will likely take in some of these pubs for live music, choice of beers, or purely for ambiance. . . - The Porter House - The Bank - O' Donoghue's - The Bull & Castle - Kennedy's - The Celt - Brogan's - The Cobblestone - Darkey Kelly's - The Beer Market - Arthur's - The Stags Head - The Old Stand - The Merchant's Arch - Bruxelles - The Dawson Lounge - The Confession Box - Cafe en Seine - Bankers - McDaid's - Sheehan's
