In Dublin’s Ultimate Pub Tour, the first half of the getaway will be spent in Dublin. Inclusions featured are a Literary Pub Tour which strikes the perfect balance between learning about the city’s rich literary history and experiencing the iconic pub scene. The tour begins at the Duke Pub off famous Grafton Street where an entertaining guide will take participants to all of the spots where James Joyce and James Larkin wrote their most famous works.
One of the most iconic spots to explore during this vacation is the iconic Temple Bar area, and while the actual Temple Bar is a great tourist spot to visit, there are dozens of different places to check out from authentic Irish pubs and dance clubs to intimate bars and more. Off Grafton Street is the traditional Irish pub, Kehoe’s, where travelers can grab a pint and admire the Victorian-style interior while chatting with the locals who make their way to this bar.
One of the highlights of the tour will be a visit to the Guinness Storehouse, a staple in the city of Dublin. Travelers will enjoy the interactive tour, learn how to pour the most perfect pint of Guinness, and will receive a certificate stating that they are an expert at the craft of pouring this iconic beer! Here they can also indulge in a Guinness at the Gravity Bar where they will have panoramic views of the city. Another highlight is a visit to the Jameson Distillery which is a beautiful storehouse where the brewing of this legendary whiskey takes place.
After time in Dublin — which is easily walkable by foot — travelers will pick up their rental car and take off to the countryside where the next three nights will be spent at an Irish Welcome Home of their choice. These 4- and 5-star Bed and Breakfasts are truly incredible and participants can select from 100 Bed and Breakfasts which have met the exacting criteria to be named an Irish Welcome Home. Travelers will be able to interact with their knowledgeable host who will be able to offer directions, travel tips, and a wonderful warm welcome with a little surprise upon arrival.
