Follow in the footsteps of the founding fathers of Jameson on the only tour of the original Jameson distillery in Dublin. Your tour Ambassador will guide you for a serving of heritage and history on the definitive Jameson tour experience.

Housed in an old fermentation plant in the heart of St James’s Gate Brewery, the now seven-storey visitor experience tells the story of Ireland’s iconic drink and brings to life the heritage of this world famous dark stout beer. In the company of your local expert guide your journey begins standing at the bottom of the world’s largest pint glass, which rises through the building. It is a dramatic story that begins over 250 years ago and ends in Gravity Bar, Dublin’s highest bar where you will receive a complimentary pint of Guinness while enjoying spectacular views over Dublin and listening to some great stories from your engaging and friendly guide.
Your guide will commence your escorted tour at the ground floor Atrium to see the copy of the 9,000-year brewery lease signed by Guinness’ founder, Arthur Guinness, in 1759, and learn about the four ingredients of the iconic Irish stout: water, barley, hops and yeast.

A must for first time visitors to Dublin - Really interesting and fun tours.
The guide at Jameson was super good. Sorry can’t recall his name.
Antonio made the Guinness tour especially fun.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed these tours as I don’t drink either whiskey or Guinness.

Great family fun worth the time! - Both tours were amazing, and Alan (with the yellow hat) was a fabulous tour guide, providing good history and guidance at the Jameson Distillery, on the walk between Jameson and Guinness, and during the self guided tour of Guinness. He took care of all of us and arranged for our pints to be drawn up together for a fabulous picture. He was also quick to let us know our teen sons could have all the sofa they wanted at the end of the Guinness tour and provided overall great anecdotes and insights into the history of Dublin during the entire experience. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great walking tour! - Such a great look into Jameson & Guinness. I had visited Dublin and the Guinness factory before, but I still learned a lot from our guide, Richard. He was super engaging and had so many interesting stories to share. He had some excellent recommendations for local pubs & trad music, as well!
Definitely recommend this tour, as it also gets you past the super long lines that tend to form at Guinness in the afternoon - even when you book tickets in advance.
Super fun to enjoy Dublin with a friendly local! Be prepared to walk a bit!

Definitely do Jameson, maybe skip Guinness - The Jameson Distillery tour was lots of fun and very interesting. The short walk to Guinness Storehouse was a nice and our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The Guinness storehouse was neat, but we all agreed it wasn’t as good as the Jameson. It’s very busy and loud and although the Gravity Bar had great views, it wasn’t a comfortable place to have a drink.
