Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Dublin walking tours proceed rain or shine. Ponchos or umbrellas are not provided by guides, meaning you must bring your own or purchase them at high tourist-area markups if caught in a sudden downpour.
  • Large bags, suitcases, and backpacks exceeding A4 size are strictly prohibited inside the Guinness Storehouse. Since there are no onsite storage lockers, you must pay for third-party luggage storage nearby.
  • Even with priority or 'skip-the-line' tickets at major stops like the Guinness Storehouse, you cannot bypass the mandatory security screening and bag check lines, which experience bottlenecks during peak afternoon hours.
  • For tours ending at a different location than the starting point—such as the Perfect Pint Pub Tour, which finishes near O'Connell's Bridge (Middle Abbey Street) rather than the Guinness Storehouse—return transport is not included.
  • While the Perfect Pint Pub Tour includes specific drinks (like a pint at the Gravity Bar and three traditional pub pints), any additional alcohol, craft beers, or food ordered at the pub stops must be paid for separately.
  • Most tour operators enforce a strict 24-hour cancellation cutoff. If you miss the tour departure due to transit delays or late arrival, tickets are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled for free.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance: For the Guinness Storehouse & Perfect Pint Pub Tour, meet outside the main entrance of the Guinness Storehouse on Market Street South, The Liberties (D08 VF8H) at least 10 minutes before departure. For the Guided Dark Walking Tour, gather at Barnardo Square, 3 Dame Street (D02 DR53), between Dublin City Hall and the Fáilte Ireland tourist office, and look for the guide with a purple umbrella.
  • Price: Official prices for individual Dublin experiences vary: standard self-guided entry to the Guinness Storehouse starts from €22, while the standalone Perfect Pint Pub Tour starts at €110 per person (minimum 2 people). Partner packages like the €190 combo bundle both experiences with luxury transport, a dedicated guide, and multiple pints, which accounts for the higher price compared to booking basic entry tickets separately. Guided walking tours, such as the Dark Walking Tour, start at €19.
  • Discounts: For the classic DoDublin Hop-on Hop-off bus tours, one child under 15 travels free with each paying adult, and no separate online reservation is required for the free child. Additional children aged 6–14 require a paid child ticket, while those 15 and older must purchase student or adult tickets. For alcohol-inclusive experiences like the Guinness Storehouse and Perfect Pint Pub Tour, participants must be at least 18 years old and present a valid photo ID to consume alcohol. Dark walking tours are generally accessible but feature mature themes (medieval crime, torture, and grave robbing) that may not be suitable for young children.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do Dublin walking and bus tours still run if it rains?

Yes, tours operate in almost all weather conditions, so visitors are advised to bring an umbrella and dress in layers. In the rare event of an extreme weather warning (such as a Met Éireann Red Warning), tours will be canceled, and you will be offered a reschedule or a full refund.

Can I bring large luggage or backpacks on a Dublin city tour?

No, large suitcases and heavy bags are not permitted on sightseeing buses or inside major attractions along the tour routes due to space and security restrictions. It is best to leave large bags at your accommodation or use a luggage storage locker in the city center before your tour starts.

What is the cancellation policy for Dublin tour tickets?

Most standard hop-on hop-off and walking tour tickets booked through partner platforms offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity. Specialty experiences, such as pub crawls or food tours, may have stricter policies or require up to 48 hours' notice for a refund.

Do I need to print my ticket, or can I show it on my phone?

Mobile vouchers are widely accepted across Dublin tour operators. You can present the barcode on your smartphone to the bus driver or walking tour guide, but it is recommended to download your ticket offline in case of poor mobile signal.

Are there discounted tickets for children, students, or seniors?

Yes, hop-on hop-off buses offer reduced rates for seniors, students, and families, with some operators allowing one child to ride free per paying adult. However, specialty walking and food tours typically charge a flat rate for all participants due to limited group sizes.

What happens if I am late for my scheduled walking tour?

Guided walking tours depart strictly at their scheduled start times, and guides cannot wait for late arrivals. It is recommended to arrive at the designated meeting point 15 minutes early, as refunds are generally not provided for missed departures.

Are there any major Dublin attraction closures affecting tours in 2026?

Yes, the Dublin Castle campus is closed to the public starting June 15, 2026, for the duration of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. City tours during this period will only view the castle's exterior gates.
