CoupleVerified bookingApr 20264/5A very comprehensive tour with good commentary. Just make sure you know which colour bus you have booked - there are several similar tours going around Dublin and tickets are not transferable!LLinda S
CoupleVerified bookingApr 20265/5Although we had bought tickets, only used it for a few stops as we were running out of time as if you got off at a stop the next bus was only in 90minutes.MMargarita M
CoupleVerified bookingJan 20265/5Great staff – very friendly and helpful. The buses were running every 30 minutes, which we knew because the driver told us. However, there were no signs showing the times at the bus stops, and it would be nice if these were displayed, like other sightseeing tour companies do. Otherwise, we really enjoyed Dublin, even though the weather was stormy and lashing!AAnne B
