Best Tours & activities in Dublin (2026)

A guided tour is one of the best ways to get under the skin of Dublin, and the city's operators cover history, literature, music and the sea. Pat Liddy's Walking Tours, named after the Dublin historian and author who founded it, offers The Best of Dublin in several languages, themed walks on the Guinness family, and private tours of Viking, Georgian and Docklands Dublin. For an evening that combines culture with a pint, the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl, founded in 1988, sees professional actors perform Joyce, Beckett, Wilde and Behan as the group moves from pub to pub, starting at The Duke on Duke Street.

Music lovers should consider the Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl, led by two professional musicians from the Ha'penny Bridge Inn, which runs from March to October. On the water, Dublin Discovered Boat Tours runs a 45-minute guided cruise on the Liffey from Custom House Quay, and Dublin Bay Cruises sails between the city, Dún Laoghaire and Howth. Book evening crawls and summer cruises in advance, check seasonal schedules, and bring a waterproof, since Dublin weather changes quickly.
