My name is Leandro, and I'm dedicated to organizing cultural tours around Dublin and other fascinating corners of Ireland, such as the Cliffs of Moher, Belfast, Howth, and Wicklow. Before becoming a guide, I worked for several years as a craft beer producer, which allowed me to deeply understand the world of beer, its processes, styles, and traditions. Today, that experience combines with my passion for Irish history and culture on every tour. I live in this magical city, which I fell in love with for its history, its people, and, of course, its pubs 🍺. I love sharing local stories, curious anecdotes, and authentic customs, combining history, literature, nature, and culture. My goal is for you to enjoy each tour, learn something new, and take home a unique souvenir of Ireland. And above all, that after this tour, you'll never look at a pub the same way again 😉 See you!

Tour description

Did you know that an Irish pub can teach you more about Ireland than a museum?

On this walking tour, you'll discover why the pub is the true social heart of the island. This isn't a classic pub crawl or standard tourist walk, but rather a true historical tour of the pubs of South Dublin.

📍 We'll visit a curated selection of traditional pubs, each with its own unique style, history, and atmosphere. At each stop, you'll learn unique anecdotes, interesting details, and little-known aspects of Irish culture that can only be discovered inside a good pub.

🍻 On the tour you will learn:

The history and evolution of pubs in Ireland.
Traditions and customs of the locals.
How to recognize an authentic pub.
What kind of music is heard in a traditional session .
What local beers are worth trying (and where to find them!).
And much more!

An ideal tour for those who want to learn about Irish culture from a different perspective. After this experience, I guarantee you'll never look at pubs the same way again.

Reserve your spot!

This tour does not include walkers' consumption inside the pubs, but of course you can!
