Overview
Many other pub crawls in Ireland stick to just one area, but this one allows you to get the tourist experience in Temple Bar and then a more local experience in the Rathmines neighborhood. Plus, you won’t have to walk the distance in between because a private vehicle gives you a ride. Hear Irish music, drink Irish booze, and have a fun night out while in Dublin.
- Come ready to drink—this pub-crawl tour includes three beverages
- Rest your feet as you ride by private vehicle from Temple Bar to Rathmines
- Hear traditional Irish music being played at some of the stops
- Enjoy a fun night out in Dublin with a guide who ensures your safety

Loved it!

Had a fantastic guide named Eoghan. He was fun, interesting and knowledgeable. We had a great time and loved the places he took us! Recommend this tour if you want to get away from the touristy spots!
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hello Susan_G
Thank you for the lovely review, I am pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful time in Dublin with Eoghan. One of our key missions is that our hosts share their knowledge and passion with the guests and it will seem like Eoghan did just that.
I hope we can host you again for another 5 star experience in the future.
Happy travels

Antonio was a great tour guide. We went to several great pubs and enjoyed a great dinner of fish and chips. We were on the Norwegian Spirit cruise ship so instead of using an Uber to travel from one pub area to another, we arranged a taxi to take us back to the ship after dinner which worked out fabulously.

Temple Bar Area Tour
Lawrence_H
, Aug 2019
We booked this tour because it was suppose to go to a local pub (Rathmines area) and get away from the Temple Bar area and all of the tourist. This did not happen. We went to 3 pubs in the Temple Bar area, including "Temple Bar" itself. We explained to our hosts what our expectations were but they were not meet. We could have easily toured the Temple Bar area by our self.
Response from Host , Sep 2019
Dear Tom W,
I am so sorry to hear that your recent City Unscripted experience was a disappointment. As soon as you got in touch with the team we started a thorough investigation to get a full picture of the booking. We take these things very seriously, and that’s why we asked for further feedback from your side and got in touch with the host.
As my colleague explained to you in detail, we offer personalised city-experiences with local “hosts”. They are not licensed tour guides but rather people who live in the city and know all its hidden gems and best spots to get an insight into how the locals in the city live. Our hosts are not required to have extensive historical knowledge of the places you visit but rather to be able to show the city in an authentic way. However, they are required to be able to navigate their way around the city and have some plan for the experience. As our experiences are spontaneous and planned according to what the guests want to see and do in the city, the plan can be changed at any point. I appreciate your feedback, and the points you mentioned have been addressed by the wider team to make sure similar situations won’t happen again in the future.
I hope you decide to use the 3-hour complementary experience we offered you to make up for the disappointment. We would love to get a chance to host you again in any of our 45+ cities worldwide and provide you with the 5* experience of the standard we aspire to.
All the best,
Anna Kerekes

The Irish Pub Experience
Larry H
, Jul 2019
This whole experience was a total scam. We met them in front of a bar and they ask us where we want to go, instead of this is what we have planned for you. They basically bought us three drinks each for $180.00. They had no clue as to where to take us. There was no itinerary at all and no reservations any where.
Response from Host , Sep 2019
Dear Larry H,
I am sorry to hear that your Irish Pub experience was a disappointment. We never want our guests to feel like our experiences are a scam, so please know that we take all feedback very seriously.
In order for us to sort out any potential problems, our hosts report to us after each experience to tell us how it went. As soon as we heard back from your host in Dublin, our Customer Happiness Manager got in touch with you to sort out any issues. After she received feedback from a few members of your party, we started a thorough investigation to get a full picture of the situation.
As my colleague explained to you in detail, the City Unscripted concept is designed so that you feel you are wandering the city with a friend who lives there, who shows you their favourite places to eat and explore. Our hosts personalise each experience, yet they leave a little flexibility so that you can change course on the day if you feel like you want something a little different. This allows room for improvisation and sets a great base for experiencing the city authentically, as you would with a local friend. This specific experience offers a relaxed introduction to the pub-scene of the city and is a perfect way to enjoy a drink together with a local.
With this being said, your host tried to contact you with a plan prior to the experience without receiving a reply. When they met you on the day, some of the members of your group had already visited the places our host had planned to take you to. After this the host tried their best to come up with other places they thought you might enjoy. I’m sorry if this seemed like there was no itinerary planned. After having reviewed the whole case, we could have connected you with a local who has more experience in managing bigger groups with more people like yours was.
Again, I am truly sorry that your experience turned out the way it did. I hope the partial refund we provided helped to make up for the disappointment and you enjoyed the rest of stay in Dublin.
All the best,
Anna Kerekes

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
