Thanks for joining us and for the review. Every time we visit a venue, you are clearly told what time to meet outside to depart to the next venue as a group. You did not come out on time, we went back inside and searched for you twice. We can't keep the rest of the group waiting indefinitely so had to depart. One guide then even went back again to the last bar to search once more, but I guess you ahd already realised you missed the time and made your own way to the club. Yes, you can only skip the line and get free entry to the club when you come with the pub crawl, so it's normal that you had to join the queue with 20 others of the public when you arrived there alone. It's unfortunate you didn't come out on time with the rest of the pub crawl group, and we did all we resonably could, and more, to try to find you and catch you up. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience overall though, and hope you'll join us again when next in Dublin.

Hi LouLou, thanks for the feedback. Yes, it sounds like the pub crawl wasn't really what you were after. It's a pity you bailed on the experience at the first pub though; while your estimate of 100 people is a bit of an exaggeration, as you mentioned, we do split into smaller groups once we start the crawl so there would have actually been about 20-25 in your particular group had you stayed. I'm not sure why you expected a pub crawl "where we would sit, drink, chat, and even learn a bit about Dublin pub culture".....in fairness, there's nothing in the description you booked that suggests this - this is a party, nightlife experience....free welcome Guinness, free shots, exclusive drink specials, live music, and skip the line free entry to late bar, and free VIP nightclub entrance, as per the description. Yes, pubs were busy that particular weekend due to the rugby game in town, but Dublin's nightlife is a bustling one most weekends. Again, it's a pity you skipped out before we even really got going, I think had you stayed you'd have easily interacted with your lovely fellow Crawlers and locals and had a really great night out with us, but I'm glad you did find a quiet and subdued pub to sit and have a chat in, LouLou, as it sounds like that's what you wanted....but that's not us, I'm afraid. I'm happy you had a good night though and enjoyed meeting people in your own way, LouLou. We'd love to have you with us next time you're in Dublin if you feel like letting loose and partying a bit, now that you know what we're about ✌️🍻

We're sorry you didn't enjoy the activity, however we must refute your accusation of false advertising and being a scam - it's simply not right. Nowhere do we claim that you get a free pint. You get a free welcome glass Guinness (half pint). As for the drinks discounts, there are 21 exclusive pub crawl drinks discounts and specials across a wide range of drinks throughout the night. The average discount per drink is almost €3.30. Drinks have increased in price all across Ireland in recent months, so it may seem that the discounted prices are not so cheap, but you'd certainly be paying a hell of a lot more at the public price. No we don't reserve tables, Irish pub culture is not one of table service, its a free for all, and the pubs we work with are popular venues with plenty to see and explore across different floors and areas...Irish people don't book tables in pubs on nights out. Yes, you could do it on your own, but you certainly would not save any money: for €14 you get a free welcome Guinness, free shots in each pub, exclusive drink specials through the night, free entry to all venues including VIP skip the line entry to the most popular club in the city (saving up to €20 on entrance fees alone), and you have a hassle free night out with a ready made crew of fellow party people and lovely local guides. As you suggest to do it on your own, I think you're missing the point of the pub crawl, but It's not for everyone, and you might have preferred a more subdued kind of 'pub tour' with a small group and reserved tables to sit at all night in quiet pubs, but that's not us I'm afraid - it's a party pub crawl, we deliver a fun, proper Dublin night out and offer unbeatable value.

Hi Nadine, thank you for sharing your feedback of our Pub Crawl with us. I am sorry to read that you did not enjoy the night out. I would be grateful if you could get in touch with me on dublin@generationtours.com to see which day you were on the crawl so I can discuss the issue with the guides who worked that night. The shots might not be anyone's taste but we usually get quite good feedback on them as well as the discounts given on drinks. Again, thank you for your review and be assured that we take your comments serious and that the issues raised will be dealt with. Kind regards, Carolin

Ah lovely stuff, Donna. Thanks a million for joining us, and I'm delighted you had a proper night out in Dublin! Thanks for the review.
