About this tour

Follow Guinness from Dublin to New York on a story-led walking tour through the city’s historic taverns. Over 150 minutes, a local guide shares the history and cultural connections behind the brand’s arrival, growth, and lasting influence in New York.

Visit taverns associated with Guinness history and hear stories that bring the city’s past to life. The experience also explores what makes a perfect pint, then wraps up with a hands-on masterclass in the legendary two-part pour. Guests aged 21 and older can enjoy one included pint; additional alcoholic drinks are available to purchase. The small-group format makes it easier to ask questions and join the conversation.

Meet at the park’s south entrance near the National Museum of the American Indian, where your guide will carry a green flag. Choose this New York Guinness History Walking Tour for a lively blend of local history, iconic taverns, and a taste of the tradition.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 38% in New York City means it ranks in the top 38% of tours in New York City by this score.
