Tour meeting point:

📍 Bowling Green Park

Transportation options to the tour meeting point:

• Subway: 
  • Take the 4 or 5 train to Bowling Green Station – the park is directly outside the station
  • You can also take the R or W to Whitehall Street-South Ferry, or the 1 train to South Ferry, both just a short walk away.

• This is a walking tour — expect to be on your feet, moving between historic pubs and Irish-American landmarks.
• Includes a Guinness pouring master class — you’ll learn the official method, pour your own pint, and drink it. (Must be 21+ with valid ID.)
• You’ll visit iconic Irish pubs — some are historic spots with deep roots in New York’s Irish community.
• It’s a mix of history and fun — storytelling, culture, pub stops, and interactive moments rather than a heavy academic history lesson.
• Drinks may be included or available to purchase — depending on your setup; if needed, specify how many pints are included.
• Tours run in all weather — so dress appropriately for rain, cold, or heat.
• Small group experience — more personal, conversational, and social.
• Suitable for solo travelers, couples, and groups — but not ideal for kids since it’s alcohol-focused.
• Access & walking — note any stairs or long walking distances if accessibility is a concern.
