Be aware that the title "Dublin shore excursion" is misleading. This tour does NOT pick cruise passengers up at the port - you must find your own way into the city (It says so in the "fine print" but not prominently). Once in the city, it was difficult to find the bus location.…

I was in Dublin for a few days in April and bought 6 premium tickets that, subsequently, gave us access to the big bus service for three days. They were supposed to serve us from the 19-04 to 21-04. Unfortunately they had disturbances in the service between 19-04 and on 21-04.…

Response from BBDublinStephen, Marketing Executive at Dublin Shore Excursion: City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour
Responded Apr 26, 2019
Hi Maria, I am sorry to hear that you did not fully enjoy your experience with us. Unfortunately, due to Garda road closures and factors out of our control, the Blue route was not able to be operated on Easter Sunday. We did however cover most of the blue route on the red route to ensure our passengers continue to get access to as many stops as possible. The only stops which could not be serviced were stop #33 – stop #37 as these were rendered inaccessible due to the direction of our route. Hence the service was running for the three days which your ticket was valid. We put up a message on the service updates page before the weekend warning that closures and disturbances were to be expected. Unfortunately it was too late to inform customers once we were made aware of exactly what these closures would be. We understand your frustration and your feedback has been passed along and will be acted on internally in future. Thank you very much for taking the time to reach out and share your feedback. All the best, Big Bus Dublin Team

We bought a 3 day bus pass for €37 and did the bus tours all around Dublin to get our bearings. On our last day we took a tour to Malahide Castle and Howth. Our driver was called Eoin and he was brilliant. He talked non stop with a mixture of facts and humour and general…

Hello petula66. Thank you for your great review. Eoin is certainly an attraction not to miss out on in your Dublin explorations. Hope to see you soon again. Kind regards, Igor
