Staff member at door of bus was so helpful. We were there on the 1st February at around 11am. He was a lovely lad and showed people how to connect to on bus tour with headphones and how to navigate system. Bus driver was very safe and we throughly enjoyed the experience.

Absolutely fantastic bus tour and service from the driver Richie - he made the tour with his great character making it both very educational and comical. You get to see all the sites around Dublin Centre and is one of the best activities to do when visiting.

Great bus tour round Dunlin.. if you buy the toue ticket but it around lunchtime as it will take you through to the next day as valid for 24hrs from point of purchase.. we got on around 13.00 got off at the Guinness storehouse... we choose to walk back so therefore used the tour again in the morning from 11am and choose to do the rest of the tour...if you get off at this point you cant get back on without buying another ticket. Remember there are no toilets on the bus so choose when you have a Guinness or two before boarding 🥴🇮🇪🤩

My wife and I were on a UK cruise and the Hop On, Hop Off bus was used by the cruise company to get us to/from the ship and around the City of Dublin. As with most of the Hop On / Hop Off companies, they offered free headsets and a running audio commentary as you traveled around the city. While this is a good way to learn where various places are located that you may want to see, we weren't in town long enough to really enjoy what Dublin has to offer. If you are into history or even just want to drink, eat, and be merry, (which many were doing during our visit), you'll need to explore more beyond the bus route to experience the fun and/or learn about Dublin's history. I would recommend this option as a way to get around town and learn about the sights, especially if you do this on your first day of a multi-day visit.
