Just a great tour.

The tour was great value for money, it also included an afternoon tour of the Docklands area. The tour was informative, entertaining and funny and the drivers were welcoming and friendly.

Entertaining open top bus tour

Fabulous experience. Informative and a whole lot of fun! Our driver made the journey very entertaining adding humour to our sight seeing tour of Dublin.
If you are lucky enough to get Tony McGuinness, you’re onto a winning day!

Such a fun night!!

Finn made the entire trip so fun and informative, I wouldn’t remember a lot of it without his energy when telling us about the history of the pitstops. Francis scared me three times without hesitation and took care of us all throughout. I would recommend this tour to anybody!

Great Experience

The drivers were personable, engaging, funny, and live--not recorded! Busses were clean and timely. Great experience and an informative introduction to Dublin and its sites.

48hrs in Dublin

Where do I start, firstly I had problems purchasing my ticket online, but John Ryan, helped me every step of the way, getting my 48hr bus ticket and my walking tour package, when I had everything sorted I enjoyed the tour, in my 2 days I went round several times. I also was on the docklands tour, and Mark made it come alive, with his knowledge and humour. The buses were clean and well maintained, all the staff were helpful.

We were very frustrated with this…

We were very frustrated with this service and found it was definitely not worth the money we paid.
There were four members to our party.
We went straight to the tour office on Tuesday morning to find the bus route, only to find that we had been misdirected by the associate to wait for the last bus on the route rather than the first one , an hour and forty five minute wait on an advertised twenty minute wait.
We ended up walking to our destination.
Two additional times we waited over forty five minutes for buses, once with one of the companies associates, again for a twenty minute route interval.
We would never recommend using this particular tour in Dublin to anyone .
By the way, we had just come from Edinburgh, Scotland and used their Hop On Hop Off . It was excellent, reliable and informative.

Terrible bland AI recording

This tour was awful, We chose this bus company bc of the reviews that say how wonderful the live tour guides are but the bus we took actually just had an AI voice recording saying very dry things about the post office and stuff. It referred to things like "uprising of 1922" but never provided any context and there was no way to ask questions. We were bored and confused and didn't really even learn anything. My mom fell asleep it was so boring! Apparently there are only live guides on some of the busses so make sure u get on a bus with a live tour guide. Idk it was fun to ride on the roof of a bus I guess? I can't believe we paid over $100 for 3 of us to take this tour, such a waste of time and money, super disappointing.

This was thoroughly enjoyable

This was thoroughly enjoyable! The tour is really informative and takes in all the main sites in Dublin. Our bus driver and guide Damian was so entertaining and even gave us a few songs. I would really recommend this tour.

Don’t miss this tour!!!

My sister and I spent last week in Dublin and were really delighted that we chose to take both routes on the City Tour.
The three drivers/guides we encountered were really fantastic and they all made it very memorable.
Outstanding amongst these drivers was Mary - what a woman!!!
She made it so special - and her singing was terrific 🎶.
We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Dublin.
Rock on Mary 😜

Great trip, fun driver

What a brilliant way to spend a few hours. Plenty of sights to see, things to learn and all while saving on the walking!!

Our trip was on a very hot day, was a lovely way to see the city. Our driver, Damien was hilarious and his personal stories enhanced the pre-recorded audio perfectly. Other bus tours I’ve been on have been somewhat impersonal with pre recorded audio listened to via headphones. Audio (English) was played over bus speakers and then Damien interjected with stories and fun. Making this a much more pleasant, personal and entertaining few hours. Alternative languages were available via headphones.

Glad we chose DoDublin and would do again if we are lucky enough to return
