Where to Drink: the 3 Best Self-Guided Tours

1.Dublin Self-Guided Murder Mystery Tour by Temple Bar

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 12 reviews · from $21Our pick

You’ll collect a clue envelope near Trinity College, then follow riddles and tasks through central Dublin toward Parliament House. This private, self-guided experience takes about 90 minutes to two hours, with no live guide and plenty of time to pause at Temple Bar and other city sights.

“This was a unique way to discover different parts of Dublin, but it could be better. It rains constantly in Dublin, making the paper guide impractical. A digital guide, perhaps one with GPS guidance to the different spots would have been helpful. Read more”

2.Self-guided Red Light District Pub Crawl Mystery

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 6 reviews · 3 hours · from $41

Take a three-hour, self-guided mystery through Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Start at Bierfabriek near Rokin, follow clues tied to a 1988 true crime, visit three breweries, and finish at de Prael near Central Station. You get one drink at each stop, plus the game materials.

“Het was veel te duur voor wat je krijgt. De eerste bar waar wij kwamen zijn we niet leuk ontvangen. Er is geen uitleg gegeven over het spel. We moesten overleggen met elkaar, maar de muziek stond te hard. Groepsgrote is ook van belang. Wij waren met 7 man, maar hierdoor kreeg iedereen de helft mee van het verhaal. Je krijgt wel 3 drankjes per persoon, maar dit is alleen voor simpel pils of frisdrank. Al in al hadden wij er meer van verwacht voor de prijs.”
