All the people who work at the company are fantastic. They were always to answer your silly questions and I loved that they gave you some of the history of Ireland including about the troubles and they're just funny guys and fantastic experience

This bus was not a good choice. The other hop on hop off buses passed us a number of times before we were able to get on this one. We waited about an hour to get on the bus. Once we were on it, the tour was fine. We didn’t want to hop off because we didn’t know how long it would take to catch another one.

Easy to hop on and off throughout the city. Great to sit and relax after walking all day. While driving they tell some good history. They provide headphones for different languages. They also provide maps. This bus seems to have more stops then the others.

This is the best city sightseeing tour bus. They are helpful, informative. They stop at the sites they are scheduled for.

The red open topped bus tours were not very good because the recordings sometimes were hard to hear. I preferred the green buses as the drivers had head mikes and were far more pleasant and interactive with the passengers.

It was a great and quick way to see Dublin. We were only there for one day and this tour was great. My teenage son enjoyed it as well.

We did the 2 day pass . It was a great way to get the “lay of the land” and hop off when you want to .

Easy to find location, great routes and main stops, right on time. The communication from Viator said we didn’t need paper tickets and that virtual tickets would work at all stops. Luckily, we went to the first stop and someone checked us in and gave us the paper tickets that apparently we needed. The other reviews made it sound like the guided tour was a live person, ours was a recording not at all entertaining but factual.

Just a not particularly informative recorded voice over which seemed to miss out a lot of opportunity to give more detail. Drivers stopped at lights on many occasions that changed from red to green a few times but we didn’t move.
