Learning the history of Guinness was astonishing. The activity was a great experience on all seven floors. Our tour guide, Ferguson, was excellent.

Guinness and whiskey tour with Noel
Noel Quinn was a great tour guide. Loved the tour and making our own cocktail at the whiskey portion of the tour. Learned a lot thanks to Noel. We recommend this tour.
P
Jameson, Brazen Head and Guinness Storehouse
Very impressive tour over 3 stops (Jameson Whiskey, Brazen Head and Guinness Storehouse) with extensive information on the history of Ireland and Dublin...the whole thing was carried out relatively stress-free and humorously by our guide Noel Quinn. The tour at Jameson was a great show that totally thrilled us all. Brazen Head is just bursting with old charm and the 5 floors in the Guinness Storehouse are like a trip to a theme park. This tour was very well done and highly recommended. Lasted a total of 4 hours.

It was a great...
It was a great experience! Rich did a great job! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
Operator response
Jorge, Rich created an atmosphere where learning and laughter moved together through the Guinness Open Gate Brewery and Roe and Co Whiskey experience. That balance, genuine information paired with the kind of energy that makes a group want to stay longer, is what makes these Dublin tours worth your time. We hope you'll be back to explore another corner of the city with us.

4 stars only because of how busy it is.
Our guide Mary was full on much like the Guinness tour. She gave great insight to the beginnings of the Guinness family and their importance to the city of Dublin. Mary explained the different levels of the tour building then you are free to explore. Guinness tour is a very busy place.
Operator response
There's a rhythm to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery and Roe and Co Whiskey experience, guided history followed by free exploration, and Mary clearly set that tone with the same energy as the tour itself. David, thank you for highlighting how she brought the Guinness family's story to life before letting the group loose in what is genuinely one of Dublin's busiest attractions. That mix of structure and freedom is by design, even if it means sharing the space with plenty of other visitors. Thank you for choosing LetzGo City Tours.

Best of both worlds
This was a great experience. We chose this tour because my husband enjoys Guinness and I whiskey. While Guinness is in its own state of awesomeness, we both really enjoyed our time spent at Roe & Co. The mixology class was a great experience. We had lots of fun making our delicious drinks. We would definitely go back. I can’t say enough about our guide Anna. She was the best. She was loads of fun, kept our group on track, but most of all provided a wealth of history that made the story of Guinness and Dublin come alive. Additionally, Anna gave us some suggestions so that we could continue to experience Dublin and all it has to offer. All in all, this was one of my favorite experiences in Dublin because it was so personable. Thanks again Anna!
Operator response
Candy, the Guinness and Roe and Co whiskey experience sounds like it unfolded exactly as a premium Dublin tour should, and Anna clearly understood that bringing people together around craft and story matters as much as the product itself. She wove Guinness history and Dublin's spirit into the mixology class, turning a fun afternoon into something that felt genuinely earned. We're grateful you chose LetzGo City Tours, and we look forward to welcoming you back whenever your travels bring you to Dublin again.

Guiness Storehouse and whiskey experience
Richard provided us with a truly wonderful experience. He was so knowledgeable of the history of the Guinness storehouse and made sure we knew what we were seeing. The whiskey distillery was my favorite with getting to mix my own cocktail. Richard was always sharing bits of Irish history which we enjoyed.
