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. I live in this magical city, which I fell in love with for its history, its people, and, of course, its pubs 🍺. I'm passionate about sharing local stories, curious anecdotes, and authentic customs, combining history, literature, nature, and Irish culture. My goal is for you to enjoy each tour, learn something new, and take home a unique souvenir of Ireland. See you along the way! ✨

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. We don't offer a classic pub crawl or a standard sightseeing tour.

📍 During the tour, we'll visit seven selected traditional pubs , each with its own unique style, history, and atmosphere. We'll also pass three iconic Georgian parks : Iveagh Gardens, St. Stephen's Green, and Merrion Square. These green spaces will allow us to take a few breaks, connect with the local environment, and learn interesting details about the architecture, art, and famous people who have stayed here.

🍻 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 (spoiler: it's not just the Guinness).
  • What is a snug , why is Irish whiskey distilled three times, what was the most unusual whiskey-related fire, and whether this spirit was really born in Ireland.
  • How to pour the perfect pint , what kind of music is played at a traditional session , and which local beers are worth trying (and where to find them!).
  • Many more things!


An ideal tour for those who want to truly understand Irish culture, not just imbibe it. After this experience, you'll never look at pubs the same way again. Reserve your spot!


***Additional expenses for consumption within each pub are the responsibility of each walker***
