A Taste Of Dublin: The Guinness Experience

OVERVIEW

Get a true taste of Dublin and its storied past on this panoramic orientation drive that includes a pilgrimage to the Guinness Storehouse. Your comfortable coach will head out from the pier and onto the city streets where medieval, Georgian and modern architecture share the Dublin skyline. See stately Old Parliament House and sprawling Trinity College, founded over 400 years ago by Queen Elizabeth I. Round the famously tony squares of Merrion and Fitzwilliam, where Irish notables like O’Connell, Yeats and Wilde once lived. See St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin Castle, City Hall, Christchurch Cathedral and more enroute to this outing’s main event: your visit to the 7-story, pint-shaped Guinness Storehouse. Working your way ever upwards to the delicious brews and views waiting at the top, you’ll wander past fascinating memorabilia and exhibits from over 250 years of Guinness history, and get a sense of the ingredients and painstaking processes that go into making its beloved beverages. But the pinnacle of your journey happens when you reach the top-floor Gravity Bar and settle in with a Guinness of your own, savoring its exquisite flavor and toasting the spectacular city views from up here.
