    Must take this tour!

    Our guide Mario is brilliant. Best tour I’ve ever been on ! His knowledge mannerisms and approach were perfect and exceeded expectations!

    Response from the operator: Best tour you've ever been on is high praise, Geraldine, and we're passing it straight to Mario. He took you through the Jameson Distillery, the oldest pubs and the Irish music of our Dublin night tour with the knowledge and easy manner you describe. Thank you for spending your evening with LetzGo City Tours. If your travels bring you to another of our cities, we'd be glad to have you along.

    King Niall

    We toured with Niall, and it was exceptional. He was so personable and friendly, and filled with knowledge. We would definitely recommend, and go anywhere with Niall!!

    Response from the operator: Ava, Niall led you through Dublin's most storied spots, from the Jameson Distillery to those oldest pubs where the music and history feel genuinely alive, and did it with the kind of warmth that makes a night tour feel less like a checklist and more like being shown around by a knowledgeable local friend. That combination of personable charm and real depth is what LetzGo City Tours builds on. We hope Dublin stays with you, and we'd love to welcome you back to another city soon.

    Drink, dance and be happy!

    The experience with Maureen was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about Dublin, Jameson and the bars that we visited. We had a lot of fun with her.

    Response from the operator: Vivian, Maureen brought Dublin's spirit to life that evening, moving confidently from the Jameson Distillery through the oldest pubs with stories and local knowledge that made each stop feel like stepping into the city's real character. Her enthusiasm for what makes Dublin tick clearly made the whole experience more fun for your group. We hope those Irish music moments and Jameson memories stay with you, and we'd love to welcome you back to explore another corner of our cities soon.

    Sean was fantastic! He...

    Sean was fantastic! He was full of great stories, both historic accounts and the Irish folklore! After the tour itself was done, he took us to a few local pubs and we had a very nice experience! He shared a lot of helpful information on the history and the current state of affairs of Ireland and its people.

    Response from the operator: Sean wove storytelling and history together on your Dublin Night Tour in a way that felt alive, Brigid, moving easily between the grand historical arc and the folklore that explains how Irish people actually live and think. His choice to guide you into local pubs after the formal tour finished showed real insight into what makes an evening memorable rather than just informative. We're thrilled he brought that kind of authenticity to your time in Dublin with LetzGo City Tours.

    Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music 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 Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music?

    +

    Around 5 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music 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 Dublin Night Tour: Jameson Distillery, Oldest Pubs & Irish Music?

    +

    Included: Dublin pub culture through the centuries and Ireland’s oldest pub: The Brazen Head (est. 1; Traditional Irish drinks and Guinness pouring traditions; Jameson Experience Whiskey Sampling Tour and Jameson signature drink; and Live traditional Irish music session & South-side Dublin nightlife atmosphere.
