What does everyone reckon? I'm a terrible traveller with drink in me, I'd actually be worried about how far they'd take us cause I'd not be able to hack an hour or two on a bus with a lock of pints in me.

From past experience they won't go too far, otherwise you'll be stopping every 5 seconds for piss stops.

Last one went to Swords, Bray and the Red Cow I think and there were plenty of stops along the way.

Bloody hell that's rubbish. More a mystery tour of County Dublin.

The Red Cow and the reasons people go there are a mystery to me.

I thought it was just me! I can't even travel well if I've had a lot of energy drinks!

I don't really get mystery tours... you buy a load of drink, get on a bus and go to a random pub somewhere down the country? Sure that could happen any night, I know one lad started drinking in the Roost and somehow woke up outside the Poitín Stil in Rathcoole.
I just don't get what's so OMG MYSTERY TOUR!!!!! about it! Getting on a bus full of drunk people, stopping every 5 minutes for piss stops and someone inevitably getting sick down the back of your seat.... eugh reminds me of the bus trip to grad night.

Somebody explain why they're so great? Despite what I said above, my main reason for my dislike for Mystery Tours comes from the travel sickness, not the dislike for debauchery. I'm mad for a bit of debauchery, just not in an enclosed space...

I am a perfect traveller when sober but if I'm steaming and we start going near bumpy roads my stomach just starts churning and I sometimes need to stop and get out to throw up. Hasn't happened in ages though.

I think the whole fun of the mystery tour is that you end up somewhere you'd never normally go instead of just going out for another night in Maynooth, you meet loads of new people and suppose there's a feeling of liberation, almost like going on holiay(for one night).
