Delve deeper into the tales dramatised in the House of Guinness TV series, then raise a glass of the famous 'black stuff' at a venue closely linked to the start of the Guinness dynasty.

Activity itinerary

Mansion House (Pass by)

The Mansion House has been the official residence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin since 1715 and Benjamin Lee Guinness held the title 1851-1852.

William Conyngham Plunket (Pass by)

We will see at the statue of William Conyngham Plunket, 4th Baron Plunket (26 August 1828 – 1 April 1897). He married Anne Lee Guinness, daughter of Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness in 1863. He was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral and Archbishop of Dublin in the Church of Ireland.

St Stephens Green (Pass by)

St Stephen's Green is a historical park and garden, located in the centre of Dublin. It dates back to 1663 but the present park was extensively remodelled through the generosity of Arthur Edward Guinness, 1st Baron Ardilaun, 1n 1880. Beside the park we will view Iveagh House, owned and lived in on various occasions by the Guinness family from 1862 to 1939.

Marsh's Library (Pass by)

A well-preserved library of the late Renaissance and early Enlightenment, Marsh's Library opened in 1707 as the first public library in Ireland. It was built to the order of Archbishop Narcissus Marsh and has a collection of over 25,000 books and 300 manuscripts.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral (Pass by)

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the national cathedral of the Church of Ireland. It was extensively restored in the 19th century through the generosity of the Guinness family.

St. Patrick's Park (Pass by)

Adjoining St. Patrick's Cathedral, St Patrick's Park is believed to be the site of baptism of the first Irish Christians by St. Patrick in the 5th century. From here we will view the magnificent housing and educational facilities built by Lord Iveagh (Edward Guinness) for the poor of Dublin.

Dublin Castle (Pass by)

Constructed in the early 13th century on the site of a Viking settlement, Dublin Castle served for centuries as the headquarters of English, and later British, administration in Ireland. (We will view the castle from outside the walls as the complex is closed to the public from May 2026 due to Ireland's hosting of the EU presidency).

River Liffey (Pass by)

Next, we will pass through Temple Bar to cross over the River Liffey (once the main transport route from the Brewery to the ships that brought Guinness to the wider world).

The Church Café Bar

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The tour finishes with a pint of Guinness (included in your ticket price) in what was formerly St Mary's Church. The founder of the Guinness Brewery Sir Arthur Guinness married his wife Olivia Whitmore here in 1761.
