    Wonderful Experience: Book This Tour

    All I can say for this trip is: JUST BOOK IT! This was so much fun! Sean our guide, was fantastic. He explained pub culture and the beer we could experience. We also were in a small group and had a very nice time meeting and talking with our fellow tour participants. Sean created this warm and friendly environment from the start. The pubs were lovely and the beer was great!

    Nice Experience

    If you’re looking for a nice afternoon at some local pubs outside of Dublin, this experience is for you. Shane was very knowledgeable, upbeat, and friendly. We enjoyed this experience and would do it again! On a side note, this experience is great for those with decreased mobility as you are dropped off right at the pub!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Alexa for choosing our tour & for taking the time to review your tour with us. It's great to know you enjoyed the experience & we hope to see you back again in the future. Regards Rural Pub Tours Team

    Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.

    Is Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 292 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?

    +

    Around 102 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dublin?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dublin?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dublin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?

    +

    Included: 3 Rural Pub visits; Live Music; Fully Guided Tour; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?

    +

    Please wait by the City Hall Building at the Bottom of Castle Street which is located off Lord Edward Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15) if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Dublin. Standard cancellation terms apply.

    What do travelers say about Afternoon Dublin Mountain Pub Tour(small group pub crawl max 15)?
