Belvedere Irish Nights in Dublin: live Irish music and dancing with a three-course dinner, plus audience participation and stage time.
“It was a fun night. Always love the Irish dancing. They did not disappoint. Their enthusiasm and relationship to the audience made the show alive and fun. Would do again in a heartbeat”
Dublin by night from an open-top bus with a live English guide, past Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, and Christ Church in 1 hour.
“James was excellent! Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The only slight improvement would be the sound. When sitting in the open area at the back upstairs it was sometimes difficult to hear James due to traffic and wind sounds.”
Pre-book a guaranteed seat for Taylors Three Rock’s Irish Night show in south Dublin, with a 4-course dinner and music and dance.
“Fantastic experience! Great food and atmosphere. Talented one of a kind performance. Lots of laughs and so much fun! I would 100% recommend Taylor’s Three Rock night show”
Enjoy Irish music and stepdancing at Dublin's Merry Ploughboy Pub, with optional three-course dinner for a fun 3.5-hour night out.
“Fantastic. The venue, the staff (very welcoming and attentive), the food (really good, especially as catering for approx 200 people) and of course the live traditional Irish music and Irish dancers. Would highly recommend this place.”
Sunset cruise from Howth Harbour to Ireland's Eye and Dublin Bay, with live captain commentary, wildlife spotting, and great photo views.
“The boat trip was brilliant, and we saw puffins, seals and many sea birds in their natural habitat. We were also really lucky with the weather. I can highly recommend this trip - an excellent way to see Howth and the area from a unique perspective. Even the Dart trip out to Howth was great”
One-hour open-top Dublin night bus tour with live English commentary, illuminated landmarks, and big views from the top deck at sunset.
“Wonderful tour guide. My only suggestion is to update the website with correct times. I would recommend for a quick tour of the city.”
Merry Ploughboys Irish Night in Dublin pairs a traditional pub dinner with live music, dance, and crowd sing-alongs.
“It was my birthday that day and I did led them Know in advance. No happy birthday wishes. It said start at 6:30 pm. We know it would be dinner first but thought show would start at 7:30. Wait staff was super slow because of the crowd of guests they had to serve. Finally at 8:15 show started. Did not get attention of the server again to get a second round of drinks all night. Gave up and left a bit early to avoid the people all exiting at the same time. Music and dance performance was good. Food was decent. Good but not again.”
Guided sunset hike and history walk at Glendalough with headlamps, wildlife talk, then guided stargazing in County Wicklow.
“Both guides but especially Elena were marvolous. Perhaps start earlier so the pace is not so fast and more time to enjoy the views.”
Dublin Temple Bar Night Tour with a Spanish guide, Irish pub culture stories, and beer history for an easy 2-hour walk through classic night spots.
“Everything was great with Stefany, she was super friendly and made the tour very enjoyable.”
Dingle sunset photo tour on Slea Head Drive with George. Hands-on tips for cameras and phones, beach and oratory stops.
“It was a great tour! Tour guide was really informative, personable, and knew where to go for beautiful pics! Highly recommend.”
80 minute guided night walk through Galway’s Latin Quarter with Brendan. Lynch mob lore, the Claddagh Ring, Spanish Arch, and local tips.
“Brandon was an excellent tour guide. His passion for the history of the city was evident.”
Sunset SUP in Malahide, Dublin, a beginner-friendly 90-minute class with safety training, small-group paddling, and calm estuary views.
“It was a great experience, there were lovely views at sunset, and a very friendly crowd, I would definitely recommend!.”
3-hour sunset cruise from Baltimore Harbor to Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, with photo stops, sea wildlife chances, and Sherkin Abbey views.
“Spacious boat with lots of room to move about but seating was oversize (too high and too wide) and not very comfortable for a 3 hour journey.”
Paddle Dunlewey Lake at sunset in Donegal Gaeltacht waters with top gear, clear guidance from Joe, and Errigal and Poison Glen views.
“We had so much fun! Joe was great!! Really sweet & so fun to know, great photographer too! I mistakenly booked the wrong date & he was super nice about it, & still took us out on our intended date - it was so nice, super appreciated! Donegal is gorgeous - great excursion for a weekend trip! And the views headed to & from the lake / around Mt. Errigal are unbelievable! Highly recommended! Thanks Joe!!”
