Seamus was so knowledgeable and helpful. He shared a lot of interesting facts about the city. He took many photos of our family and shared them with us via WhatsApp.

Noel was an incredible guide! We had a beautiful afternoon walking through Dublin from Jameson to Guinness. Noel is well versed in the history of the area and his love of Dublin is truly authentic! If you are fortunate enough to have him as your guide, you scored!!!

Our tour was so informative and so much fun! Noel, our tour guide, was quite knowledgeable about Ireland and Dublin's history and shared it as we were walking down the very places where it happened! He was friendly and courteous, and we immediately felt like we were hanging out with an old friend.
We did the Jameson tour first and began with a complimentary drink. The tour and tasting was excellent. We learned about the history of the Guinness family, and the distilling process was full of sensory treats. Our guide inside the tasting room was so enthusiastic and funny, and had great information! He expertly guided us through three whiskey tastings. We then walked through town a bit with Noel, where he described the rebellions and fighting that took place on the very spots we stood.
We then stopped at The Brazen Head, the oldest bar in Ireland, where we all shared a pint and some laughs. The bar was so charming, and we felt right at home. Be sure to see the room where police officers and firefighters from all over leave their patches on the walls.
We then proceeded to Guinness, which is a complete experience in itself! It is very interesting and fun, mostly self-guided and interactive. Each floor highlights something different: from the company's history, to the brewing process, to their marketing, and so on. We stopped on one floor and learned how to pour the perfect pint (an extra charge), even receiving a "Certificate of Achievement" along with the pints we poured. We ended up with a complimentary pint at the Gravity Bar on the 7th floor of the building, which boasts a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city.
I absolutely recommend having a tour guide for this day, which took about 4-5 hours, and Noel was absolutely excellent! Please plan to take a cab home after finishing up at Guinness!
Response from Host, May 2026
That may just be one of the best descriptive 5*reviews possible — hearing guests describe the real deal experience “right from the horse’s mouth” is exactly what future visitors love to read! ☘️ We’re delighted Noel made the day feel both deeply historical and wonderfully personal. Thanks for sharing such an incredible account of your Dublin adventure!..

We did our homework and based on reviews we felt using Dublin Heratige Tours through Viator would maximise our experience to both of these iconic places. Both of these locations hold historical significance to the more recent development (200+ years)of Dublin and Ireland, so having someone like Marty our tour guide who is a university graduate in history was a wonderful element to our visits. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We really appreciate the trust you placed in us when choosing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that your visit to Trinity College & Dublin Castle lived up to all expectations. These are important sites for understanding the shaping of modern Dublin & Ireland, their historical context makes all the difference. It’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Marty Fennell, his academic background and passion for the subject really do elevate the experience. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words. Thanks again for the 5* recommendation, it means a great deal.

Tours were great and woven together seamlessly by Marty our guide who was fantastic. It’s like we had a whole day or touring in 4-5 hours. Having a guide take you through Guinness makes all the difference.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Delighted you had such a great day with Marty.
That 'full day' feeling is exactly what we aim for as we like to pack a punch on our tours, so it’s great to hear it came across seamlessly. You’re absolutely right that having a guide inside Guinness makes the difference, as the G-storehouse is huge. It really transforms the experience from just a visit into a great story. Marty's family worked in the Guinness factory and he knows all the biz there. Hope to see you again on another tour soon! ☘️☘️

Through an operational error our guide was given the wrong time and was not there at the appointed meeting time/place. The Jameson folks were terrific and made room for us in a standard tour. Our assigned guide scurried to get there and meet us by the end of the Jameson tour. He was good and did his best to apologize and compensate for the glitch on viator’s part. However the timing was off for subsequent tours at Guinness and again we had to wait in lines for standard tours. Lines were not horrible but this was not the VIP tour (treatment) we signed up and paid for. We’ve made several trips and have for the most part had great experiences with Viator, so this was disappointing. Once we were able to track down the number of of the subcontracted tour company and call them, they got on the case immediately to seek a remedy. Again the Jameson folks were amazingly helpful and understanding and our guide, once we got connected was really good, but the logistical mistake threw off everything. This was NOT the quality performance we’ve come to expect from Viator, especially for what was billed as a VIP tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share this.
This was the result of an administrative scheduling error on our side, where the guide was unfortunately given the incorrect start time due to a computer glitch, its a first for us. That said, we fully recognise that once the timing is thrown off early on, it has a logictical knock-on effect—especially with timed entries etc.
While this is not reflective of our usual standard—where we consistently receive 5-star feedback for both organisation and delivery— we take full responsibility for this mix-up. We’ve already addressed the issue internally to ensure this kind of glitch was a one off. We truly appreciate your patience on the day and your understanding of the efforts made to assist you.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and glad you enjoyed the tour—it’s invaluable in helping us maintain the high standards we aim for every guest.

Noel made our trip! He was simply the best! He was aware of our needs, simplified traversing the city and brought laughter, great history and a friendly face to our time in Dublin. He gave helpful recommendations and was wonderful to communicate with. I highly recommend this tour and if you get Noel, that is icing on the cake ! He’s the BEST of the best.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
It was genuinely a pleasure having you along. When guests are as warm and engaged as you were, the whole tour just comes alive, the stories flow better, the laughs come easier and Dublin shows off a little more than usual.
I'm so glad the recommendations came in very handy too, making sure people leave knowing the city like a local, not just a tourist.
If you're ever back, you know where to find us. Safe travels!

Our tour was wonderful. Sean was knowledgeable and fun. It felt more like exploring with a friend then being led by a tour guide. I would recommend this to tour to anyone!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words! Delighted to hear the tour felt relaxed and enjoyable, that’s exactly the experience we aim for. I’ll be sure to pass this on to Sean, he'll be chuffed.
Really appreciate the 5*recommendation!

This tour is a must for all visitors to Dublin. Obviously, Jameson and Guinness are iconic, but our guide, Seamus, provided context and connected the brands with the identity and intricate history of Dublin and Ireland. As a local resident he provided insight and background that turned the experience into a highlight of an already wonderful European vacation. Don’t just book the tour, ask for Seamus.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for this fantastic 5* review. We’re delighted you felt the tour was a “must” for visitors to Dublin thats what we aim for for customers.
Seamus is great at connecting the stories of Jameson and Guinness to the wider identity and layered history of Dublin and Ireland.
We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Seamus — he’ll be absolutely delighted. Thanks again.

Highly recommend this tour. You can do them on your own, but so much better when you have a guide. Noel was great and gave us so much history as we walked along the way. Great way to experience historical locations, especially if you like whiskey and Guinness.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you very much for the 5* recommendation. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the experience and that having a guide added so much more depth to the walk. Noel will be thrilled to know his storytelling and historical insights made the journey so engaging—especially with a few well-chosen whiskey and Guinness connections along the way. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again soon.

There is a little bit of walking. Stairs too. Bring a jacket . Some of it is outside. Very fun day! All of our guides were friendly and knowledgeable!
Kelly_G, Oct 2025
We had a great time learning about the history of both the Jameson Distillery and the Guinness Storehouse. Noel was a wonderful guide and had a great deal of knowledge that he shared with us! I would highly recommend the tour!
Annette_H, Aug 2025
Easy way to hit both of the experiences with time for a mini walking tour in between. Mick was phenomenal! Could talk about most anything we had an interest in.
Patrick_H, Apr 2025
Really enjoyed the afternoon with Fergie!! Knowledgeable, patient and a great person to spend an afternoon with. Wonderful experience!
