Excellent tour to get you primed to visit Guiness. You meet at the oldest pub in Ireland so get there early to have a beer. Martin was excellent. Highly recommend

Did not see it as a walking tour, if I had I would’ve never booked it. Too much distance between various locations visited. Seemed like walking went on forever. Learned a lot of interesting facts about the family. Tour guide was great. If all you want us to tour the factory, this is not the tour for you.
Mary, Thank you for joining our tour and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your guide and found the stories and history behind the family fascinating — this is exactly what we hope brings the experience to life. We are sorry to hear that the walking element was more than you expected. Our experience is designed as a guided walking journey, allowing guests to discover the surrounding historic locations and understand the people, stories, and heritage behind the attraction — rather than simply visiting the factory itself. The goal of all our guided experiences is that our guests see, do, discover, and experience so much more than they ever could on their own. A great guide does not simply bring you from one location to another — they uncover the hidden stories, fascinating details, local history, and special moments that transform a visit into a truly memorable experience. Judging by the wonderful reviews and feedback we have received from more than 1 million guests who have joined our tours, travellers overwhelmingly agree that a carefully curated experience led by an expert, local, professional, and friendly guide is one of the best ways to guarantee a rewarding and memorable visit. The knowledge, passion, and storytelling of a great guide can turn a simple visit into an unforgettable experience. We completely understand that some guests may only wish to visit the factory, and in that case a standard admission ticket may be the better option. Our tour is created for visitors who want a much richer experience — combining expert storytelling, unique insights, carefully selected locations, hidden details, and the final visit. Thank you also for your kind words about your guide — we will be sure to share your comments with them. We appreciate you choosing to explore with us and hope the fascinating stories and places you discovered remain a special part of your visit.
