I’ve ridden this bus in many different places around the world as usual they are excellent well worth the money and a great way to see things initially when you arrive gives you an idea of what you want to actually see. The driver was great.
We enjoyed the hop-on, hop-off experience but we were amazed at the dexterity and skill of the drivers in weaving in and around the streets of Dublin with all the holiday traffic, pedestrians and maniac electric bike riders but but particularly Phil C! We were sat at the front upstairs and had a great view of the sites as well as all the idiots Phil and the earlier driver we had when we got on at stop 1 around 11am, had to contend with. Our hands go out to them. Thank you.👍🥰 Great trip.
We love doing hop on hop off bus tours in the city we go to, and this one did not disappoint. The bus was clean, and our guide was excellent with a nice blend of knowledge, stories, sense of humor, and even sang to us a couple of times.
I bought a 72 hour pass which included an evening tour and a day tour to Glendalough in the Wicklow mountains. Excellent drivers and the tour guide Glendalough, Mike, was just fantastic! I highly recommend for solo travelers.
Hi Aidan_K. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback! It brings us great joy to know that you enjoyed our bus tour, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard again in the future. Best regards, Razvan @BigBusTours
I always do the Hop On/Hop Off Bus tour when I arrive in a new city. It is a great way to get oriented with where things are and what we may want to come back to visit. Eoin was an absolutely fantastic driver and guide on the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off tour in Dublin. I loved his live commentary so much that I waited for his bus rather than take one with a prerecorded tour. You can track the buses and which ones, and where they are all on the App which was really helpful! His sense of humor was wonderful, and he made the history, landmarks, and stories of Dublin truly come alive. He was engaging, informative, and genuinely made the experience more memorable. Eoin is a real asset to Big Bus Dublin, and I highly recommend taking his tour!
Was informative, great to jump off an on. Would recommend a 48hr ticket so you have time to see everything
Hi! Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you found the tour informative and enjoyed the flexibility of hopping on and off to explore the city. Thank you as well for your recommendation regarding the 48-hour ticket. We hope to welcome you on board again for another great experience! Andreea@BigBusTours!
This was a great way to see the city for our short stay in Dublin. It stops directly at many of the city’s highlights and includes a live guide, no recording to listen to. Your ticket includes a free pint of Guinness from Nancy Hands. Entire loop takes around 1.5 hours or less and stops are quick. Would recommend!
Hello Kara_M. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We are thrilled to learn that you had a wonderful experience on our bus tour, and we hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Razvan @BigBusTours
I jumped off and on this bus three times and had three different drivers/guides. Robbie was absolutely fantastic! Super knowledgeable and easy to understand with an entertaining style. Even an Irish ballad thrown in! Loved it!
Wonderful trip, Fiona guide just amazing the stories she was telling and songs she was sang..she made our day. Just amazing.
We got the bus from.the camac campsite. The driver (Ian) i think that was his name, sorry if that's wrong. Was really helpful. We got off the bus at stop 1 and had to start the tour on another bus. 2 ladies the driver and Fiona the guide where great they told us where we could get a coffee with 10% off. Fiona sang to us at certain points. When we hopped on and off we got on Ian's bus again.His stories where great even his jokes. The drivers are skilled at negotiating, other buses, trams, bikes, pedestrians and having to deal with the general public on the bus.
