My Dublin pub crawl is perfect for small groups who want to explore the best pubs in Dublin in a relaxed walking tour.

Just one hour away by car, you can see one of the best preserved monastic sites in Ireland, founded by Saint Kevin in the 6th Century, almost 1500 years ago.

It features churches, some of which are over one thousand years old, an intact celtic belltower and a majestic valley with two lakes.
