Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 49 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their knowledge, humor, and ability to make tours engaging and memorable. Many people highlight the drivers and guides as exceptional, often mentioning their personal stories, singing, and entertaining commentary that enhanced the overall experience. Reviewers also found the buses clean, well-maintained, and appreciated the convenience of seeing the city's main sites without much walking. However, some customers experienced issues with the service, including long wait times for buses, being misdirected, and drivers who were rude or did not allow them to disembark at desired stops. A few people also noted that not all buses had live tour guides, relying instead on pre-recorded audio, which they found less personal.

This was so much fun

This was so much fun. Lovely tour guides ie bus drivers on each bus we hopped on and off. Made the adventure for the day. Their stories and comments of knowledge very unique. Thank you to you all.

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.

Entertaining open top bus tour

Fabulous experience. Informative and a whole lot of fun! Our driver made the journey very entertaining adding humour to our sight seeing tour of Dublin.
If you are lucky enough to get Tony McGuinness, you’re onto a winning day!

Finn made the entire trip so fun and informative, I wouldn’t remember a lot of it without his energy when telling us about the history of the pitstops. Francis scared me three times without hesitation and took care of us all throughout. I would recommend this tour to anybody!

Great Experience

The drivers were personable, engaging, funny, and live--not recorded! Busses were clean and timely. Great experience and an informative introduction to Dublin and its sites.

48hrs in Dublin

Where do I start, firstly I had problems purchasing my ticket online, but John Ryan, helped me every step of the way, getting my 48hr bus ticket and my walking tour package, when I had everything sorted I enjoyed the tour, in my 2 days I went round several times. I also was on the docklands tour, and Mark made it come alive, with his knowledge and humour. The buses were clean and well maintained, all the staff were helpful.

We were very frustrated with this…

We were very frustrated with this service and found it was definitely not worth the money we paid.
There were four members to our party.
We went straight to the tour office on Tuesday morning to find the bus route, only to find that we had been misdirected by the associate to wait for the last bus on the route rather than the first one , an hour and forty five minute wait on an advertised twenty minute wait.
We ended up walking to our destination.
Two additional times we waited over forty five minutes for buses, once with one of the companies associates, again for a twenty minute route interval.
We would never recommend using this particular tour in Dublin to anyone .
By the way, we had just come from Edinburgh, Scotland and used their Hop On Hop Off . It was excellent, reliable and informative.

Terrible bland AI recording

This tour was awful, We chose this bus company bc of the reviews that say how wonderful the live tour guides are but the bus we took actually just had an AI voice recording saying very dry things about the post office and stuff. It referred to things like "uprising of 1922" but never provided any context and there was no way to ask questions. We were bored and confused and didn't really even learn anything. My mom fell asleep it was so boring! Apparently there are only live guides on some of the busses so make sure u get on a bus with a live tour guide. Idk it was fun to ride on the roof of a bus I guess? I can't believe we paid over $100 for 3 of us to take this tour, such a waste of time and money, super disappointing.
