Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Together: Combo Tickets & the Walking Route
Planning the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery together? The truth about combo tickets, third-party bundle prices, the 20–25 minute walk between them, and how to do both in a day.
There is no official combined ticket for the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Bow St. Diageo runs one and Pernod Ricard the other, and the two do not sell a joint ticket. What you will find instead are third-party bundles: guided combos with transport and skip-the-line entry, entry bundles that pair Storehouse admission with a hop-on hop-off bus, and city passes such as Go City that include both. The two sites are a 20–25 minute walk apart, or a few minutes on the Luas Red Line, so doing both in one day is comfortable — ideally Jameson first, the Storehouse second, so you finish with a pint in the Gravity Bar.
(Combo prices move with the season and the operator, and every “combo” is a third-party product, so check the inclusions line by line before you pay. The calendar above books the Guinness Storehouse & Jameson Skip-the-Line Tour — the guided half-day version, with skip-the-line entry to both attractions and a guide between them, rated 4.7/5 from more than 1,200 reviews. The self-guided route further down this page costs less and needs no tour at all.)
The short version
- There is no official combined ticket sold jointly by the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Bow St. They are run by different companies — Diageo and Pernod Ricard. What you will find are third-party bundles: independent tour operators and city passes that package the two together.
- Your options fall into three buckets. Book each attraction separately (cheapest, most flexible); buy a third-party combo or bundle (convenient, often with transport and skip-the-line entry — roughly €65–€80 for entry-style bundles and €135–€160+ for premium guided combos); or use a city pass such as Go City that includes both plus many other attractions.
- The two sites are a 20–25 minute walk apart, so doing both in one day is comfortable — ideally Jameson first, Guinness second, because the Storehouse’s Gravity Bar is the natural finale.
The key facts
- No first-party joint ticket exists. The Guinness Storehouse (Diageo) and Jameson Distillery Bow St. (Pernod Ricard) are competitors and do not sell a shared official ticket. Any “combo” is packaged by a third party — a tour operator, a reseller or a city-pass company.
- Third-party combos come in two flavours. Entry bundles that combine admission, sometimes with a bus or transfer, and premium guided tours with a live guide and transport between the sites. Typical ranges: about €65–€80 for entry-style bundles and €135–€160+ for premium small-group guided combos. Verify current prices, because they change.
- City passes are often the best value if you will see more. Go City: The Dublin Pass includes both the Guinness Storehouse and the Jameson Bow St. Experience plus 35+ other attractions — good value if you are doing several sights over one or two days.
- Proximity makes a self-guided combo easy. A 20–25 minute walk, or a short Luas Red Line hop between Smithfield and James’s plus a few minutes on foot at each end. No tour is required to do both in a day.
- Order matters. Do Jameson first, then the Guinness Storehouse, so you finish with a pint in the panoramic Gravity Bar. Book timed entries for both and leave a comfortable gap.
Is there an official combo ticket?
No. Because the two attractions are owned by rival drinks groups — Guinness by Diageo, Jameson by Pernod Ricard — there is no officially combined, first-party ticket. When you see “Guinness and Jameson combo,” it is being sold by a third party: an independent tour operator, an online reseller, or a city-pass company that bundles admissions. That is perfectly legitimate and often convenient, but it means you are buying from a middleman, and that cancellation terms, inclusions and guide quality vary by operator. Our Guinness Storehouse guide covers the Storehouse’s own ticket tiers, and our Jameson Distillery Bow St. guide does the same for Bow St., so you can price the two halves before you look at any bundle.
Other Dublin experiences worth booking around these two
Neither company sells a joint ticket, but the neighbourhood between them is dense with things you can book. Directly opposite the Guinness Storehouse on James’s Street, Roe & Co occupies a former Guinness power station and pairs with the brewery on the Guinness Storehouse & Roe & Co Whiskey Tour, a newer listing with a smaller review base (57 reviews) than the headline tours. A short walk into the Liberties, the Teeling Whiskey Distillery Tour & Tasting on Newmarket is the city’s working distillery, and Pearse Lyons on James’s Street runs the Pearse Lyons Distillery Signature Experience in a converted church. Across the river in Smithfield, Bow St. also runs the hands-on Jameson Distillery Whiskey Cocktail-Making Class, and the Irish Whiskey Museum Guided Tour & Tasting on Grafton Street pours a brand-neutral flight opposite Trinity College. Our complete Dublin distillery comparison weighs every option side by side.
The three ways to do both
Option A — Book each separately (cheapest, most flexible). Buy a timed ticket for the Guinness Storehouse direct from guinness-storehouse.com and a Jameson Bow St. Experience ticket direct from jamesonwhiskey.com, and walk between them. This is usually the lowest total cost and lets you pick your own times and pace. Booking direct also generally gives the best cancellation flexibility. The downside is that there is no transport or guide, and you coordinate the timings yourself. If you would prefer both tickets on one account with free cancellation up to 24 hours before, the same two admissions sell separately on GetYourGuide: the Guinness Storehouse Entry Ticket (self-guided, with the Gravity Bar pint, from $41, rated 4.7/5 from more than 26,800 reviews) and the Jameson Bow St. Tour & Whiskey Tasting (from $34, rated 4.7/5 from more than 7,800 reviews). Bought together they land at the bottom of the entry-bundle range and you keep full control of the day.
Option B — Third-party combo or bundle (convenient). Many operators sell the two together, and the products split in two:
- Entry bundles: combined admission, sometimes with a shuttle or a hop-on hop-off bus included. Convenient and modestly priced, roughly €65–€80 depending on inclusions. The bundle we cover takes the bus route: the Guinness Storehouse Ticket & Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off Tour (from $72, rated 4.7 from 406 reviews) pairs fast-track Storehouse entry with a 24- or 48-hour open-top bus that stops at the Storehouse door and passes within a short walk of Smithfield — add a Bow St. ticket and the bus does the linking.
- Premium guided combos: a live guide takes a small group through both, with transport between the sites and skip-the-line entry; these run higher, roughly €135–€160+. Good if you want a hosted, logistics-free half-day with extra storytelling. The Guinness Storehouse & Jameson Skip-the-Line Tour (from $154, rated 4.7/5 from more than 1,200 reviews) is the one we sell, and our full breakdown of the tour covers what the half-day includes. For a private version with hotel transfers there is the Guinness & Whiskey Private Tour with Transfers (from $324) — rated 5.0, but from only 18 reviews, so treat that score as early.
Always check exactly what is included — both admissions, transport, a guide, a tasting, a pint — and the cancellation policy before booking.
Option C — City pass (best if you will see more). Go City: The Dublin Pass includes both the Guinness Storehouse and the Jameson Bow St. Experience, alongside 35+ other attractions, and often extras such as a hop-on hop-off bus. If you plan to visit several sights over one or two days, a pass can pay for itself and effectively bundles Guinness and Jameson at a strong per-attraction rate. Check the current pass price against the sum of individual tickets for your planned itinerary. Note that the pass does not cover every whiskey venue in the city: Teeling is on it, while the Irish Whiskey Museum and Pearse Lyons are not.
The walking route between them
The Guinness Storehouse (St James’s Gate, Dublin 8) and Jameson Bow St. (Smithfield, Dublin 7) are a 20–25 minute walk apart. A pleasant on-foot route runs from the Storehouse through the Liberties and across the River Liffey to Smithfield, or the reverse, passing close to other Liberties whiskey sites along the way. Alternatively, the Luas Red Line connects James’s, near the Storehouse, and Smithfield, beside Jameson, in a few minutes, with a short walk at each end. Taxis and the hop-on hop-off buses also link the two.
Suggested self-guided day:
- Late morning: the Jameson Bow St. Experience (about 45 minutes) in Smithfield; browse the shop, maybe a drink at JJ’s Bar.
- Walk or Luas (20–25 minutes on foot) to St James’s Gate.
- Early to mid afternoon: the Guinness Storehouse (allow about 2 hours), finishing with your complimentary pint in the Gravity Bar for the city panorama.
- Optional add-on: since you are in the Liberties, Roe & Co, Pearse Lyons and Teeling are all nearby if you want to extend the whiskey theme.
Practical planning tips
- Order: Jameson first, Guinness second — the Gravity Bar pint is the ideal finale, and the Storehouse is the bigger, longer visit.
- Book timed slots for both in advance, especially in summer and at weekends, and leave a comfortable buffer — the walk plus browsing time — between them.
- Time budget: roughly 45 minutes for the Jameson flagship tour and about 1.5–2 hours for the Guinness Storehouse, plus the walk — a relaxed half-to-full day.
- Both include a drink. The Jameson tour ends with a complimentary Jameson drink or cocktail; the Guinness Storehouse includes a pint, or a Guinness Academy pour-your-own option. Pace yourself and eat in between — our best whiskey bars in Dublin guide has a Liberties route if the day runs into the evening.
- The Caskmates connection is a fun narrative link. Jameson Caskmates is finished in stout-seasoned casks, a collaboration born with brewers, so a Guinness-and-Jameson day has a genuine flavour thread — a nice thing to mention to companions. Our Jameson whiskey prices guide covers what a bottle costs if you want to take the story home, and our Irish whiskey cocktails guide has the Jameson-and-stout recipes to go with it.
- Non-drinkers and families: both offer non-alcoholic options and welcome under-18s on standard visits, with no alcohol — check the age rules for any premium tastings.
- A history flourish. The Guinness Storehouse sits at St James’s Gate, and the surrounding Liberties were the heart of Dublin’s distilling “Golden Triangle,” with Roe & Co named for George Roe, whose vast 19th-century distillery once stood beside the brewery — so the two industries were literal neighbours. Our history of Irish whiskey and Dublin’s Golden Triangle maps those old distilleries onto the streets you will walk between the two.

Recommendations
- Most travellers: book each attraction directly and walk between them — cheapest and most flexible. Do Jameson first, Guinness second.
- Want it hosted and hassle-free? Buy a premium third-party guided combo with transport — the Guinness Storehouse & Jameson Skip-the-Line Tour is the one we cover — and confirm both admissions, the guide and the cancellation terms.
- Seeing lots of Dublin? Get Go City: The Dublin Pass, which includes both plus 35+ attractions, and compare it against individual ticket prices for your plan.
- Extend the theme: add a Liberties distillery — Teeling, Roe & Co or Pearse Lyons — since you will be right there.
- Benchmarks that change the choice: if you will visit 3+ paid attractions in a day or two, a city pass usually wins; if you only want these two, booking direct is cheapest; if you value guiding and transport over price, the premium combo earns its fee.
A note on how fast this changes. There is no official first-party combined ticket, so confirm that any “combo” is a third-party or city-pass product and check exactly what it includes. All prices are approximate and change frequently — entry bundles around €65–€80, premium guided combos around €135–€160+, and individual admissions and Go City pass prices vary — so verify at booking; the cheapest total is usually booking each attraction direct. Go City / Dublin Pass inclusions (both Guinness and Jameson) are current as of writing, but pass contents and prices change, so reconfirm on the Go City site. The walking time (20–25 minutes) and the Luas connection are approximate, and routes and Luas service can change. Tour durations and inclusions — Jameson about 45 minutes with a drink, Guinness about 1.5–2 hours with a pint — are typical but subject to change, so confirm current formats and age policies. And cancellation policies vary by operator and channel, so read the specific listing’s terms.
