Well organized self-guided tour. The casks maker's exhibit is a must-see! The free pint of Guinness in the Sky Bar at the end makes for a great ending. More

It's really busy, it's only a self guided tour and a boutique - however the bar upstairs to enjoy your Guinness has fantastic views over the entire city. More

Guinness has done a great job of bringing the berr-making process to life with their interactive, self-guided tour. The Gravity Room is a must see. We love Guinness beer! More

I was looking forward to seeing what is the one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ireland. Its an old building and there is lots of old machinery and a lovely water feature. The view from the gravity bar is fab and it was a beautiful sunny day. There was a magic buzz about the place with most sampling... More

The Guinness Storehouse has 1000's of interesting facts in its multi level storehouse. The views from the top level of Dublin are spectacular. My tip would be to catch the lift to the top, have your free pint of Guinness and then walk down the levels to the bottom. The Storehouse is an easy walk from Temple Bar and the... More

Plan at the very least 1hour. Guinness has done a great job incorporating antique pieces of machinery into a modern, fun, tour. This is not your traditional factory tour. It's self guided and very engaging. The only issue is that there are jot enough elevators and it's difficult trying to go back down to previous levels. More

This is a self tour. You do not see the actual brewing process- it is all on audio-visual and no direction signs so things sometimes get a bit confusing. There is a good deal of history and plenty of advertising through the ages. The storeroom with the museum is cleverly housed in the old building with you going up to... More

If you like Guiness you can't miss this. The freshest pint of Guinness you'll ever have - very interesting. At the very top, the Gravity Bar, the panoramic view of the city is fantastic. More
