As Dublin is known for its pubs any visitor would find it fascinating to learn more out about the wonderful culture Irish pubs hold dear. This tour will be guided by actors with a wide knowledge of Irish literature. Ireland is home to some of the worlds most famous and respected writers such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, W.B Yates, Seamus Heaney and many more. Could there be a better way of experiencing this tour than sitting back with a drink and enjoying your tour guides perform scenes from world famous works.

GUINNESS STOREHOUSE
Saturday 9 June @ 14.00
If you would like to taste a pint of the worldwide famous Guinness why not have it pulled from its home or even pull it yourself! On this guided tour of Dublin's number one “must see” attraction you will witness the story of this brewery that began 250 years ago. While going up through a glass elevator you will see all 8 floors and get to know why the storehouse is what it is today. Then of course you will end your tour at the top, in the Gravity Bar which presents a breathtaking view of Dublin and yes, a pint of world famous Guinness. This bar also offers a selection of other drinks such as wine and beers so everyone can sit back and enjoy the view.
