First off, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking in advance for the VIP tour, please allow yourself this luxury to fully enjoy this experience. It is truly magical. The tour itself is good and informative, as you walk around the various areas that describe and explain the process on how to make and what it takes to create the perfect pint of Guinness. This can easily take up a good few hours, then you have other levels which include the Guinness Academy where you learn to pull pints, various other exhibits we didn't get a chance to do and the 'gravity bar' where you may get a free pint with your visit and get pretty wasted (the poor cleaners on the staircase, don't worry they do keep it very safe and clean).
However the BEST section by far was the VIP tour in the private bar. You are assigned a time slot when you book and this will be the time you move away from the tour or what you're doing to be whisked off with a very small group to a private and hidden bar which is exclusively for you. Here you learn not only the history of Guinness from an expert barman and host of the Guinness factory but sample various foreign, current and discontinued ales from their past. Every little detail in here is perfect and it's a gorgeous experience. You not only have several decent sized samples, but you also get to pour yourself a pint of one of the freshest most delicious kegs from the factory, choice of ales to take home as a gift (both included in the VIP price) AND you receive an additional free gravity bar pint/bottle on top of the one recieved with your regular admission. So overall you get 4 drinks included in the price which isn't even that high for the standard this experience it is at.
You also get 2 restaurants alongside the gravity bar in which you can also use your free pint coupon if you fancy a bottle of original or other choices of Guinness products not sold at the gravity bar. In one of these you can get delicious Guinness stew, Guinness burgers and Guinness spicy hot dogs!
This place is a dream come true for me and was one of the biggest highlights of our entire Ireland trip and I just cannot wait to return here as soon as we can! I sincerely hope you get the same on your visit, cannot recommend VIP enough, worth everything and more.
