Great way to get to know the city, but I don’t think there are a lot of buses in fall so don’t expect hop on hop off without a wait

We had a great time touring Galway, Ireland. The commentary was funny and informative. Highly recommend.

Great way to plan a day in Galway. We rode the Hop On Hop Off bus for the entire route first, planning our next stops from there. Only negative: We started our tour at 12:30 the first day, but despite being advertised as 24-hour passes, our tickets had disappeared by the next morning. Very disappointing, as we had hoped to visit the Aquarium that next morning (since our Connemara Tour had been cancelled due t9 damage from Storm Amy).

We enjoyed the tour around the city while hearing about the things we were seeing! It was very nice to just sit and relax while seeing the city.

The bus runs on a 90 minute schedule, so if you get off at a stop on the route you will wait a long time to continue the tour. That would be nice to know when booking on line.

Wonderful and interesting tour of Connemara. Michael, our driver, was friendly and informative and made the tour thoroughly enjoyable. …absolutely loved the sheepdog demonstration.

The recorded audio tour has good information. Worth it if you have time - about 1 hour long trip around the city. The ride was a bit bumpy - probably due to heavy traffic.

So great to hear all about Galway. The driver had impressive skills to navigate the traffic and small spaces. The ride gave us the overview we wanted to figure out where to go next.

We love to do a hop on hop off bus tour whenever coming to a new major city, and City Sightseeing Tours is one of our mainstays for this. The relatively short 1-hour tour of Galway yields an impressive and concise exposure to Ireland’s culture capital. Excellent way to get to know the Latin Quarter, Prom, Eyre Square, and much more!
