You too can be a Guinnessologist :) on my original private tour.
This custom tour is relaxed & local and avoids the very busy self guided Guinness attraction.
This is the perfect way to have a fun and engaging adventure in Dublin, exploring an amazing unknown story and fun for all ages.
Explore young Arthur Guinness, his ancestry, own family and the bold decisions he and his descendants made in life that laid the foundations for unimaginable success!
Expect good fun and learn local sayings, Irish humour with genuine passion and this tour explores our beloved Irish pub culture which is uniquely engrained into our friendly society as we meet the locals!
Discover a Guinness family home in central Dublin before hitting a legendary local Dub's pub for a pint and option to pull your own pint, certified in Dublin under Eamonn's expert eye.
Optional free whiskey tasting included if you fancy? Family Friendly Irish snacks & soft drinks provided on me!
We'll have fun in my city,
Eamonn
