Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 43 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their knowledge, humor, and engaging personalities, making the tours enjoyable and informative. Many highlight the drivers and guides for bringing history to life with stories, jokes, and even songs, creating a memorable and personal experience. People also appreciate the convenience of the tour for seeing the city's main sights and the cleanliness of the buses. However, some people were dissatisfied with the service, citing long wait times for buses, which occasionally led to missed stops or walking to destinations. A few other people also felt that the pre-recorded audio was sometimes impersonal, and some encountered drivers who were perceived as rude or who did not allow them to disembark at their desired stops.

Fantastic tour with the Hop-on Hop-off

The tour with the Hop-on Hop-off was great. Our driver Garrett was fantastic. He told us many things about Dublin and it’s history and above all he sang original Irish songs to entertain us. The whole bus sang with him including clapping hands. It was amazing and very amusing. Garrett thank you very much with love from the Netherlands.

Super easy and fun way see Dublin!

Our drivers Tony, Paul Hahn & Alex were outstanding! Very knowledgeable, funny and helpful with directions and different sights to see. It was truly a pleasure to visit your beautiful and historic city and country.
Also, appreciate the half off lunch coupon for Kennedy's, thank you!!

If he first driver is rude get off and wait for a different driver… or just walk if you’re able.

3/29/26: The driver was simply put rude. When entering the bus I asked if we needed the green earbuds and I reached for them. He rudely replied “NO” and then sarcastically asked if I would let him touch things in my house. I replied, “Yes”thinking he was joking with me. He then indicated that I would not and that the ear buds were for people who didn’t speak English, he then proceeded to say in a caustic voice “…and you obviously speak English” to which I responded back to him in Spanish. In addition, he only played the scripted and taped audio for 95% of the ride. And the worst part is that when we went to get off at a stop and were getting ready to exit the bus (and he could see this via his video up above) he started moving the bus and didn’t let us off. Because of this we had to ride the rest of the route and get in a different bus at Stop 1. When we finally got to Christ Church and St. Patrick’s cathedral they were both closed. If he would have let us off we easily would have seen both stops. In addition, thinking he was funny he went around the round about at least 5-6 times in a circle singing “the wheels of the bus go round and round…” over and over. He was unprofessional, rude, and sarcastic and had no interest in his job or his passengers.

Luckily, for us the second driver who picked us up at Stop 1(where the first driver let us off) was very friendly, provided live voice history the whole trip and didn’t rely on the taped version. He was interested in his job and you could tell it. He sang lovely Irish songs and was an excellent tour guide.

So glad we decided to Hop On!

So glad we decided to Hop On! Our driver, Tyrone, was a rockstar! The stops give you access to all the attractions around town.
Ticket includes free admission to a couple museums and galleries as well. Overall, a great experience!

Really enjoyed the trip

Really enjoyed the trip, drivers were friendly and informative. It was easy to get from point to point along the route. Best way to see the city, especially from the top deck.

New tour driver

We had Stephen S as our driver and he did an excellent job. He was in training but it would have been hard to know if he hadn’t shared that fact with us. Keep up the good work.

Hop On Hop Off was worth the money

The bus operator (Dermot) was friendly and sang very well! He made the trip! Now on the downside, the bus only came every 30 minutes. Since it was February, I can see the infrequency; but it still held me back a little.

Memorable tour with humour. Don't miss out!

My sister and I have been on many hop-on-hop-off tours and other sightseeing tours that informed you with recorded guides. Our DoDublin tour was by far the best ever! Our guide brought history to life with his jokes, singing, and great sense of humour. This trip will be long remembered because of Dermot's humourous delivery. Don't miss out. Your day in Dublin will be memorable for sure if you are fortunate to have Dermot as your guide.

Just a great tour.

The tour was great value for money, it also included an afternoon tour of the Docklands area. The tour was informative, entertaining and funny and the drivers were welcoming and friendly.
