Dublin with a tour from an irishman was a treat. The tour was the best of the HOHO buses we've taken for years. We've grown used to the headset buses, and were amazed when their was an actual person leading the tour. The drivers are courteous, well informed and of course, share their Irish humor. The bus has stops all... More

As we only had a day in Dublin, we wanted to see as much as possible, therefore we paid an acceptable amount of €18 each for the hop-on hop-off bus. Over the course of the day we say everything we wanted, being able to spend as much time as we wanted at each destination knowing that buses went past every... More

This was a great way to get the lay of Dublin. Great overview of the city. Went on two buses. Look for one where the driver does the talking and not a recording.

We recently had a great experience with Dublin Bus. We took the hop on hop off bus tour. The driver was so entertaining and informative that nobody wanted to hop off the bus. We live in Dublin and had visitors from the UK. I highly recommend this tour if you are entertaining people from abroad. I look forward to taking... More

The bus drivers... we were on 3 or 4 buses... were fantastic. Very funny. They gave good advice and were very knowledgable. Value wise, a little pricey :(. The bus did hit all the attractions we wanted as we attempted to do Dublin in one day. If we had stayed for longer we would likely not have used the bus.... More

We lived on the hop on, hop off bus. As an orientation, at first, and by the second day, purely for the transportation. We learned our way around, and got to see much more than we would have on foot, and certainly saved money on transportation. When it rained, we would hop on the bus, and take a little down... More

The people on the busses are very friendly and explain really well how it works, but I would have liked all the busses to have had live commentary. The busses with live commentary were much more fun and lively. THe green bus is a great way to get to tourist attractions which are a bit further away like the Guinness... More

Many thanks for posting your review. I appreciate your note about having more live commentary buses. We have to cater for people who have limited or no English too. The balance we have is that every 2nd bus is a live bus. Regarding waiting for 30 minutes I would like to look into that further as there should not be... More

We purchased a 3 day freedom of dublin pass, which included the round trip airlink express to the airport for 28e. In my opinion, we'd've been better served to just spend 10e for the airlink bus and completely skipped the hop on/hop off bus tour.

Very regular (about every 15 mins or less), this is a great way to piece Dublin together. It's such a small city that this really helps you get your bearings while showing you the main tourist sites It was a mixture of live commentary and recorded depending on drivers which was a shame as the live drivers were much better,...
