We enjoyed the hop on hop off tour and the places it took us to. The stops were easy to find and if you download their app you can track when the bus will be arriving at the stop you’re at. The one downside was later in the afternoon it look us 2 hours to get from Christchurch Cathedral back to the first stop because if the traffic volume. We missed one stop because we would’ve run out of time and the buses end at 5pm

We had just one day in Dublin, so using the hop on hop off service was a good way to see the key landmarks in the city. Overall, it worked well for us. We joined the bus at the Guiness Storehouse and choose to remain on the bus for the rest of the route back into the main part of the city centre. I’m assuming we just missed a bus as we had a 20 minute wait for one to arrive at the Storehouse (other providers buses turned up in the interim) but 15-20 minute intervals is in line with the published service information so that was just our unfortunate timing. On the day we visited Dublin there were many rain showers. Whilst the tour company cannot control the weather, using a bus with a partial covering on the upper deck would create a better experience for customers. We have seen the partial covered buses in other cities on our travels, they also shade some of the sun on hot days. We spent some of the time on the upper deck which was ideal and then downstairs when it rained, but couldn’t return upstairs when the rain stopped as all the seats were wet and unusable unless you were happy with a very soggy behind. The journey on the bus was at times quite slow, as it’s a busy place, there are several stops and traffic lights on the route so allow plenty of time to cover the distance. It’s a useful way to see the city but its not necessarily speedy ! Our final top tip is to look for deals – these types of buses can be quite expensive. We picked up a Groupon offer which saved us several euros for our group – had we have paid the published price I would have rated lower.

We couldn’t even do the tour We had a small toy poodle who has enjoyed tours of Belfast ,Derry, Edinburgh , Glasgow, London ,Chester, Bath , Bristol ,Brighton ,Bournemouth ,Chester,Oxford ,Cambridge, Stratford upon Avon , York and Llandudno But Dublin -No Dogs Allowed Dogs aren’t allowed on the trams either The most unfriendly city in Europe Will never be back !!

A very good tour. No guides on board, so they use taped commentary. Many of the plug ins didn't work though, so it was tough to find working commentary. You see a huge amount of the city, a very thorough tour. Took about 2 hours to go the loop. Recommended for a great overview of Dublin.

The company needs to solidify their branding logo, as a start. My wife purchased tickets for us to take our four year old grandson on the double bus, and to the Dublin castle. Neither of us knew there were multiple hop on, hop off companies here. She sent me the PDF so I could map where we needed to go. The top of the PDF has a HOHO logo for hop on, hop off. That doesn't match anything on their buses or the signs on the bus stops. So we tried to get on to the Big Bus (what came up when I had searched Google for Dublin). He told us the QR code was not theirs. So we had seen some of the green buses (Do Dublin) by then and looked up their map. Moved to one of their stops. The first driver let us on because he was rushed. So we did get to the castle and the little guy loved it. But when we tried to get back on, that second driver tried to figure it out why the code didn't work and found the words City Sightseeing. By then we had seen one of those just go by. They seem to be the lesser of the three companies and we finally tired of waiting. So we walked back to the hotel. Some of the things above were our own fault. But a lousy day could have turned much brighter by the simple consistency of marketing material. Our purchase was a waste.

the customer service team via email were unhelpful and refused assistance as I had bought my ticket from groupon. My complaint was not about the buying the ticket but about the hour long wait I had with my elderly father. At no point in any of the emails did a customer service person apologize about the lack of buses running, instead the insisted it was not their problem as I had not paid them directly. Really unimpressed with the service and would not use them again.

It was a bus ride around the city. The commentary was minimal and not informative. Do not waste your money. Google is more informative.

Save your money book another sight seeing tour. I suggest Big bus or Hop on Hop Off . City sight seeing tour was sporadic at best only running 4 busses this day opposed to the other two mentioned. Waited between 45 minutes to an hour between pick ups. We had 4 or 5 stops to see, we were only able to get to two stops in the 7 hours we were in Dublin. Very disappointed with this tour company, the only reason we booked this tour company was Trip Advisor rating.

Not a lot of buses. We saw the green ones a plenty but these were far and few between. Do yourself a favor and first look how many buses are plying. For a day ticket of this hop on hop off we were able to do only 2 stops for exploration, because we were waiting for the next bus for 20-30 mins. The frequency is terrible- 50 mins to one hour. So even if you finish clicking pictures and exploring one stop, you can’t go to another till the next bus comes. We took a stop at Trinity college, explored the busy square while waiting for the bus. Even had coffee. After 55 mins the bus came and we realized this would be its last round. The driver however wouldn’t even give us a full route. He turned half way thru the botanical garden to finish off his trip. How we know? We had done the first full one.

I had taken this bus previously and had a good experience. This time was horrible. Every competitors’ buses passed multiple times before ours did. The wait was miserable knowing I could have picked someone else and already been picked up. Pick DoDublin or CityBus instead.

I have used the Hop on Hop off bus previously and had always had a positive experience. Unfortunately, my recent trip to Dublin was very disappointing. The first bus we were on got a flat tire. We waited for more than 20 minutes for the next bus. That bus then literally broke down in the middle of the road. The driver was uncaring and unhelpful as he discharged us from the bus with no other means of transportation. We were nowhere near another bus stop and ultimately had to rely on public transportation.

Excellent tour with informative commentary indicating places of interest and history. Suggest getting a 48 hr ticket, do the full tour and then choose what to do the following day.

Marcus is awesome Mark is the guy. His aura is contagious and persuasive. He made a good impression on us. Would definitely love to go on one of your tours one day.

I really enjoyed the Hop On-Hop Off bus tour in Dublin on my 19th birthday in February 2023 & the tour bus staff are amazing.

Whole tour felt like it was a sell for other attractions. Recorded commentary often didn't tie up with the location, long gaps when nothing was said even when passing interesting sights. Seemingly random experts of Irish music added nothing. Fake bonhomie. May as well had taken a public bus or two and carried a guide book. More informative and way, way cheaper for. Not sure if other company tours are any better, but avoid this one.
