It ended up just being myself and my fiancée and he took us to some of the most authentic Irish pubs, where we got to pour our own Guinness pints and even catch a bit of the Irish Open with some other locals – it felt like the perfect blend of culture and fun. Donal truly went above and beyond for us, making sure everyone had a great time. If you’re in Dublin and want a genuine Irish pub experience, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend! This is a can’t miss tour in Dublin especially with Donal as your guide!”
