IRELAND
Ireland's standouts.
The 10 most popular evening experiences in Ireland. What each one actually includes, who runs it, and what you can expect to pay.
Belvedere Irish Night in Dublin: 3-course Irish dinner plus an interactive dance and music show in an intimate bar setting.
“A good value considering you are getting dinner in a show. One word of caution is that the dinner is first, then when it’s completely finished the show then starts so it’s about three hours in total.”
A one-hour open-top Big Bus night tour of Dublin with a live English guide, panoramic views, and big-name sights lit up after dark.
“The guide was very nice and funny, enjoyed learning something new during the tour!”
Skip-the-line Irish Night in Dublin with a guaranteed seat, 4-course dinner, live music, award-winning dancers, and sing-alongs.
“It was a wonderful experience. From the time that my wife and I arrived, the host was there to greet us right from the steps. He kindly escorted us through the building and to our table. The entire team was full of energy and the performances were incredible. We unfortunately had to leave early after…”
Dublin’s Merry Ploughboy Irish Night show pairs live music and stepdancing with an optional three-course dinner for about 3.5 hours.
“It was wonderful! Delicious food, beautiful music and dancing, all-around GOOD CRAIC!!”
A 1-hour sunset cruise from Howth Harbour to Ireland’s Eye with expert captain commentary, wildlife sightings, and postcard views of Dublin Bay.
“Excellent sunset cruise that included puffins, walruses and a rainbow. Passengers were allowed to drive the boat too!”
Dublin night views from an open-top bus with live guide highlights, from the GPO and Liffey to Trinity, Temple Bar, and more.

Merry Ploughboys Irish Night in Dublin pairs traditional music, dance, and dinner in one fun 3h40 evening with audience participation.
“Great music, but be aware the 3 course meal is not included in the price, as per the description overview.”
Guided Glendalough lakes night hike from sunset to stargazing with head lamps and history. Small group, moderate hike.
“Both guides but especially Elena were marvolous. Perhaps start earlier so the pace is not so fast and more time to enjoy the views.”
A Spanish-led 2-hour night tour of Dublin pubs, Temple Bar icon spots, and beer culture lore, ending where beer is brewed.
“Everything was great with Stefany, she was super friendly and made the tour very enjoyable.”
3.5-hour sunset photo tour on Slea Head Drive with local photographer George, small group of six, and hands-on tips.
“This experience was amazing! Even though we are not professional photographers or photography amateurs, we have been able to learn more about how to take better pictures. But that's not all! Since we were only two on the tour, George told us to choose wherever we wanted to go in order to visit and to…”
