I purchased tickets for this tour back in December 2011 for use in January 2012. It stated on the website that there were no tours March 17th - Oct 31st and Dec 12th to the 27th inclusive. So based on this and the reviews I had read I purchased 2 tickets online. When we arrived in Dublin on Weds 11th... More

Dublin Bus Tour offers excellent service with multilingual tours. The staff is super friendly and the offer good packages that you can buy and book with their staff on the bus. We did the Wicklow - 2 Day Dublin Combo and loved it very much. More

My friend and I were very impressed with this service on the first day. We had two live tour guides, both very friendly and informative. The second day was a bit disappointing as the driver seemed to understand little English and using the earphones was not nearly as good as the live tours. We had left a parcel on the... More

We were tourists in our own city for a weekend and it was magic. I can understand why tourists love Dublin. We did the open top tour, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday evening we had Fred on the big red Bus and he was great. Very funny and informative. He made us look at the sights as we had never seen... More

This was a perfect way to travel around Dublin, especially if like me, you don't know where you're going! We visited all the areas of interest and the service was excellent. The driver on our first bus was amazing and she really knew her stuff! It was so easy just to hop on and off and we brought another ticket... More

The ticket covered two days. The first day our guide was Fred. He was great really informative and entertaining. With a limited time in Dublin it covered the city and gave us ideas for the second day. Great being able to hop off and discover on foot and hop back on when ready. More

As I said the sound in the headphones only worked half of the trip in Dublin. This was very disappointing. But the driver/guide in the yellow bus which we took next was fabulous. More

When we bought our tickets from the Customer Services Bus, one of our party almost wasn't allowed on the tour because they refused to give change for a €50 euro note. Then we were told that due to the torrential rain that the bus that was about to leave had standing room only, this was fine until we got on... More

On that day our buses were full to capacity... More

We like these tours when we visit a new city - it is a good way to get a feel for the place in a short time. However I felt disappointed with this one. I felt that the commentary was a bit flat - just pointing things out without giving too much background. There were several commercials for local attractions... More

Dear Brent Thank you for leaving your feedback on Tripadvisor. It seems that you didn't travel our Live Guide tours while you were visiting us. Every alternate bus is a live guide so we have as many Live Guide tours as we have Multi-lingual tours. The feedback left in previous posts were for our City Sightseeing tour of Dublin. We... More
