Jameson is a must! - Great tour! Our local guide was great, gave us a lot of information as we walked. Learned a lot about the history of Jameson and Guinness. I enjoyed Jameson way more, the tour guide was amazing. Guinness is like a huge Disneyland. The building and different floors are beautifully crafted, it so crowded.

Jameson whisky and Guinness guided tour. - I went on a guided tour of the Jameson distillery and the Guinness brewery. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide was informative and entertaining. The whisky tasting was good. And I do believe there is a slight difference between the Guinness in Dublin and the Guinness in the UK. It seemed slightly thicker, less watery. Maybe it was a placebo effect 🤔. Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone who visits Dublin.

Perfect way to see Dublin and see the distilleries. - We had a great time wandering around Dublin. Our host, Sinead, was very informative and provided some great history of the city. Both the Jameson and Guinness distilleries were informative and the tastings were delicious. Highly recommend this tour as an easy way to see the city and skip the lines at each.

Very fun! - This was a great tour! We could have booked both of these experiences separately, but I'm glad we opted for this tour. Our tour guide John made everything seamless and easy. He was there on time with our tickets and helped us find where to go. He also threw in some surprises! As we walked from Jameson to Guinness, he showed us around the city and gave us lots of history and information. He also squeezed in some time for us to stop at The Brazen Head - Dublin's oldest pub. The Jameson tour is really cool and we also had a great guide there - Colin. You will learn about the making of Jameson and get to do a tasting. The Guinness Storehouse exceeded my expectations - there are 7 floors and it is informative and beautiful! I originally thought this tour would take about 4 hours, but plan on it being closer to 5 hours - more if you want to stay and hang at Guinness a little longer.

Guiness portion of tour rushed, don't take this tour if you have mobility issues. - The Jameson portion of the tour was well done and paced just right. The Guiness portion of the tour was rushed, hardly any time to see or enjoy the exhibits. The beer was great though, and view from the top bar was spectacular. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would not recommend this tour for anyone with mobility issues. You walk almost a mile (we took a taxi due to spouse mobility issues) from Jameson to Guiness. Our guide was a helpful as possible. There are many stairs and uneven surfaces as well. We did not think the tour description adequately addressed this. Maybe better if you took two separate tours on different days

Just go to Jameson - The Jameson Tour was wonderful. We definitely enjoyed it. Sean was a good guide but the walk from Jameson to Guinness was more like a jog. Not everyone is 6ft tall and walk at an extremely fast pace. I am 5'2" and I was at a slow jog trying to keep up. The Guinness tour was rushed through. Never had a chance to read signs or take pictures in some areas. Overall it was an ok tour but definitely not one I would recommend
