The philosophy of the fluid route
“Authenticity

The city changes.
A great guide changes with it.
Follow the local knowledge
No fixed list.
Every pint earns its place.
A famous name doesn’t guarantee today’s best Guinness. We choose pubs for what’s happening now: fresh stout, a careful pour and a room that feels right for your group.
01
Freshness first
We look for steady Guinness turnover and a draught system looked after with care.
02
Respect for the pour
A clean glass, a patient pour and the smooth, creamy head a good Guinness deserves.
03
Read the room
A quiet snug or a lively conversation. Your guide matches the atmosphere to the day and your group.

Ask a localHow much is the tour, and how long does it take?
The public Guinness tour costs €69 per person and lasts approximately 2.5 hours. It includes three full pints across three pubs, with a local English-speaking guide and a maximum of 10 guests.
What time does the tour start?
Available departure times are shown in the booking calendar. Choose your date to see the current times, and check your booking confirmation before travelling.
What is included in the public tour?
Your local guide, three full pints of Guinness and a walk between three carefully selected Dublin pubs. Along the way, you will hear local stories and learn what to look for in a well-served pint.
Which pubs will we visit?
Your guide chooses the route on the day, taking pint quality, atmosphere and the group into account. We don’t publish a fixed list: the best pint is a moving target, and every stop is chosen for your experience.
Can I join on my own?
Absolutely. Public tours are a relaxed way to meet other visitors. Solo travellers, couples and small groups are all welcome.
Where do we meet?
The public tour meets at the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street in central Dublin. Check your booking confirmation for the final meeting instructions and departure time.
What if it rains?
Bring a rain jacket for the short walks between pubs. Much of the experience takes place indoors, so a little Dublin rain is part of the day.

The public tour currently offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. The terms shown at checkout and in your confirmation apply to your booking. Private tour terms are agreed with your quotation.
Can non-drinkers join, and is the tour accessible?
