Custom Celtic adventures. Planned your way.

Ireland Pub Crawls

Tailor-made trips through Ireland & Scotland — built around what you love most.
From legendary pubs and hidden gems to stunning landscapes and free time to wander, we create custom Celtic adventures that feel personal, relaxed, and unforgettable.

We know why you’re here.
It’s the same reason we are.

Ireland is MAGIC. Our time there has taught us a few things.

Custom-made trips are better than cookie-cutter trips.
Traveling with friends is better than traveling with strangers.
If your trip lacks structure, you risk missing out on what you want to see.
If your trip lacks flexibility, you could miss out on getting to know the amazing Irish people.

Every Ireland Pub Crawls trip is UNIQUE, because every trip is built around what YOU want to experience. Better yet, our custom-crafted trips can be MORE AFFORDABLE than most pre-made vacation packages.

All you have to do is fill out the survey to get started. NO OBLIGATION. NO UPFRONT FEES. And if we meet in person to discuss your options, THE FIRST PINT IS ON US.

MUSIC TOUR

In additional to our lives as travel planners, we are also professional musicians. Are there musicians in your group? Let’s create a music centered trip, hitting the best small music venues in the country, perform a gig in an Irish pub with us as your band, or even record a live album.

BEER / WHISKEY TOUR

Love beer? Let’s tour breweries big and small. Guinness in Dublin. Smithwick’s in Kilkenny. Or little guys like Blacks of Kinsale or Treaty City in Limerick. There’s much more to Irish beer than just “the black stuff.” If spirits are more your style, the folks at Jameson, Bushmills, or Killbeggan will be more than happy to treat us to a wee dram.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Are natural wonders your thing? Well, look no further. Hike the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast. Explore the Aran Islands. Climb the pillars at Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. There’s too much to list, but this tiny island is home to some of the most stunning places on earth.

What Our Clients Say

About Us

I’m Owen Sartori, co-founder of Ireland Pub Crawls.

What started as a small trip with friends and family eventually became something much bigger. Our first official group trip took place in 2007, though my connection to Ireland began earlier — including a six-week backpacking trip and a family visit that showed me how deeply personal travel there can be.

As those early trips grew, something became clear: once you know how to plan thoughtfully for a few people, scaling up doesn’t mean losing what matters. Our travel “family” grew quickly — not because we were trying to build a business, but because people kept asking to come back, and to bring others with them.

Today, I plan trips alongside my partner, Elsa Lee, continuing the same approach we’ve used from the beginning: thoughtful pacing, great local partners, plenty of free time, and experiences built around the people taking the trip — not a template.

We focus exclusively on Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, and we do it with care, experience, and genuine love for the places and people.

Best of All? There’s No Risk.

There are no fees or obligations to have us create your initial travel plan.

Just tell us what you’re dreaming about — and let’s see what’s possible.
