EPIC has been named Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction at the World Travel Awards multiple times, including 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Irish history told through personal journeys

Follow the stories of Irish emigrants from famine ships to modern global careers through first-person narratives, letters, and testimonies.

When entering we were perfectly greeted by the staff who was not only nice but tried to keep things flowing as best as possible. After they send us on our way in which they delivered the perfect explanation on what separates them from the other brands that make stout Guinness. On the third level they surprised us with a tasting of the brand which was nice and good to see, and in the same level they had a bar with music and live performances which were great to see. After doing all that you would say the expierence would already be complete but they completely surprised us with the amazing view on top of the bar and the stout or was also wonderful to do and have a great memory on the experience. To round it off I would say as I great Guinness fan myself they have they have the perfect items in the gift shop to suprise you and make you want to buy it all. Overall 10/10 experience!

The history of Guinness is a microcosm of the history of Ireland. Where in the World could you find a business founded by a 9000 year fixed rate lease. 9000 years. Incomprehensible! The tours are informative, and the diverse restaurants satisfying. Do not miss this.

Great, friendly welcome in beautiful premises. The bars were stylish and the drink we got to start with was a good way to begin our tour. Our guide was infectiously happy, competent and made the experience flow from start to finish. The taste and smell experiences were "a good spice" to the story telling and the experience. We were thrilled, to say it the least, and would definitely recommend this experience to friends and acquaintances who are going to Dublin!

Loved James he is new to the guided tour leading. Fantastic job! Unfortunately the other guide we had was difficult to understand due to a thicker Irish accent and very quick speaking. Loved the day though.
