Iconic
Perfect Pint is and has been one of our best experiences in Dublin. All there people are truly amazing. This was my 4th time doing this tour and it has gotten better every time. I would highly, highly recommend doing this tour, especially if you want to learn about some iconic pubs, and learn about Guinness and if you want to laugh and have an amazing time. They are truly the best.

Bobby (Rob McCarthy) our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and just a good man. We had a great time and made memories we will never forget. Truly worth it to get some history and have a wonderful time meeting new people!

Old bars and Dublin.
My husband and I had the best time ever with Dennis. No other people were on this trip so we got a lot of attention. Loved going to those old bars and talking about anything!! Highlight of our trip in Dublin.

Absolutely worth every penny! 🍻
I made sure my friends visiting from America did the Perfect Pint Tour while they were in Dublin, and I’m so glad we did. Even though I’ve lived in Dublin for seven years, I learned so much about the history of Dublin and Ireland that I had never heard before. It was such a fun way to experience the city from a completely different perspective. The staff at every pub we stopped at were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. And John Kavanagh, The Gravediggers truly lived up to the hype. Without question, it was the best pint of Guinness I’ve ever had! We also had an amazing Belfast Coffee at the Sackville Lounge, which was another highlight. But the biggest shout-out has to go to our guide, Keith, who is also the owner. He was brilliant, knowledgeable, funny, personable, and clearly passionate about Irish history and the perfect pint. He made the whole tour feel relaxed, entertaining and genuinely enjoyable. And to top it all off, we ended the tour by pouring our own pint of Guinness, which was such a fun way to finish the experience. If you’re visiting Dublin, I would absolutely recommend doing this tour. And even if you’ve lived here for years, you’ll still learn something new. My American friends loved it, and I loved being able to show them a side of Dublin they wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. 5 stars. Absolutely worth every penny!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Perfect Pint Pub Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does The Perfect Pint Pub Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 The Perfect Pint Pub Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 The Perfect Pint Pub Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 160 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Perfect Pint Pub Tour?
+
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 The Perfect Pint Pub Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Perfect Pint Pub Tour?
+
Around 56 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Perfect Pint Pub Tour 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 The Perfect Pint Pub Tour?
+
Included: Luxury Bus Transport; Irish Music; 4x Pints of Guinness included. (Beer, wine, cider & non alcoholic drinks accepted); Learn How To Pour The Perfect Pint of Guinness in an Irish Pub; and Visiting 4x Unique Authentic Traditional Irish Pubs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Perfect Pint Pub Tour?
+
The bus will collect you at the famous Guinness Storehouse - Outside The Main Entrance on Market Street South, The Liberties, D08 VF8H. Please arrive 15mins before your tours departure time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Perfect Pint Pub Tour 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 The Perfect Pint Pub Tour?
+
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.
Is The Perfect Pint Pub Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to The Perfect Pint Pub Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Dublin. Standard cancellation terms apply.
