Thanks Shane!
Exceptional tour, even higher praise for Shane the tour guide. As someone who works with people daily I was only looking forward to some quiet pints, was not looking forward to engaging with other people on Holiday. Shane has a rare talent of connecting you to the area, the moment, the people in and out of the tour in a comfortable, stress-fee, fun, genuine, easy-going way. Nothing felt forced, there was no pressure to be in the spotlight. It was simply existing in the moment as a part of the surrounding. I've been to Ireland many times. Best experience I've had so far. If you got anxiety and dread going out with a group of strangers... that was me before the tour...melted away on the way to the first pub, gone after that first pint. That's Shane....maybe it's the pints as well...mostly Shane. Thanks Shane. Will be back every time we're in Dublin. Think my dad has been on 34 tours with Shane. It's as much the tour as the tour guide.

5 Stars! Absolutely the Highlight of Every Ireland Trip
I've taken the Rural Pub Tours Pub Crawl through Dublin and the Wicklow Mountains three separate times: once solo, once with friends, and once with family. Every single tour has been the absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland. Shane is an exceptional guide who perfectly balances entertainment, local insight, and history. His knowledge of Irish culture, the history of beer and whiskey, and the stories behind the pubs and villages is incredible. He brings Ireland's rich heritage to life in a way that's both educational and fun. What makes this tour special is that it's much more than a pub crawl. You get to experience authentic rural Irish pubs, meet locals, enjoy stunning scenery, and learn fascinating details about Ireland that you simply wouldn't get on your own. No matter who you're traveling with, solo, friends, or family, this tour is an unforgettable experience. After doing it three times, I can confidently say it's one of the best tours I've ever taken anywhere in the world. I highly recommend booking it as part of any trip to Ireland. Thanks again, Shane, for creating such memorable experiences!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people 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 282 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 Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people?
+
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 Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people?
+
Around 99 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people 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 & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people?
+
Included: Fully Guided Tour; In-vehicle air conditioning; 6 Rural Traditional Pub visits; and convenient Dublin City centre Pick up & drop off location. Not included: Dinner; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people?
+
Please wait by The City Hall Building at the Bottom of Castle Street, which is just off Lord Edward Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Pub Tour small group tour max 15 people offered in?
+
