The bus driver was brilliant and very entertaining. He typified everything we love about Irish people. The information audio was also great, explaining the landmarks etc we were passing by and identifying the next bus stop, by number, in plenty of time. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Great fun ! In two days we visited the most important attractions of Dublin, for some of which we had discounts in the ticket. We saw how the city lives in its road bloodstream, how it pulsates with the bodies of residents, tourists and cars :)

It was great once we figured out how to find a bus stop and realized there were headphones for us to use because it was not easy to hear all the great information without them.

    We'll run, driver helpful. Great way to see city and get to venues of interest. We appreciated the narration, but the sound was poor on one bus.
