Takes about two hours and the queue is usually long to get in. You tour the factory, then the tasting rooms. Then we were allowed to go to the Galaxy Bar on the seventh floor for complimentary pints of Guinness. I have never liked Guinness. I thought it tasted like cough syrup and paint thinner and don’t ask me how... more

We booked our tickets online for the store house.Which was much better than buying them on the day. You get a discount online aswell as not having to queque once you are in there. It was interesting to find out how the famous stout is made. You also get to pour your own pint of guinness as well as get... more

Good News: We did not have to wait in line since we ordered our tickets in advance when we booked our trip. The Guinness Storehouse building is interesting....all the exhibits go around in a circle that moves you from one level to another. The central atrium rises 7 storeys & takes the shape of a pint of Guinness...the head is... more

It may not have been my best brewery tour (Sam Adams, Boston, MA), but to travel to the home of the best stout in the world, it was a blast! They did a very good job with the tour, and the bar at the top was really great. To taste Guinness that fresh, was something I will not soon forget. more

I'm not a beer drinker, but the Guinness Storehouse was very interesting. The self-guided tour includes lots to see, and there are videos throughout to keep the tour lively. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Dublin. more

Parking was a little confusing yet we managed to get in okay. The tour & brewery itself was disappointing. The tour is self guided and the stations were all computer generated and flashy. We did not see any part of the actual brewery; it was all video & pictures. The only thing we enjoyed was the free beer at the... more

Guinness is my husbands favorite beer so we were super excited to get to go see how it was made. The storehouse is a beautiful building but all you really get to do is walk around and read signs. You don't actually see anything being done. Maybe we had our hopes up and were expecting to much. You do get... more

If you must go to this overrated Dublin attraction, then book in advance via the web site in order to avoid the queues. If you just turn up then do note that after you have queued in the street (for however long) you will also have to queue inside for up to forty minutes. There were thousands of people waiting... more

Not worth the cost, get a decent Pint in any Dublin Pub, and the Smithfield viewing Tower is better for seeing Dublin!! more
