The whole experience was perfect! The bus drivers and colleagues were super friendly, helpful, interesting, knowledgeable, fun and in one case musical! Your ticket lasts for 24 hours and we took a number of tours and each one was slightly different even if the route was the same. On the 1st tour the bus driver beautifully sang "Molly Malone", the 2nd driver was very knowledgable about Irish history, politics and troubles, the 3rd was during the late afternoon so we just enjoyed the Christmas lights and the 4th was the recorded tour which was really interesting and enjoyable too. The Guinness Factory tour is must! Fantastic! It was like visiting "Willie Wonker's Chocolate Factory....totally magical!

This a fantastic way to see the city. Every one of the bus drivers was helpful and gave loads of information in the tour. I hopped on and off several times and it was a simple way of travelling without having to learn the local bus routes. I like how it goes according to the time you purchase the ticket and not the date itself. I purchased a 48 premium ticket and was able to use it a span of three days because of the timing I began on the first day. It also included a night tour.

Amazing team of drivers!! Funny, informative, caring and helpful. I am visually impaired and all the drivers we met in the three days with this company were supportive and understanding, giving me extra time to go upstairs and to come down the stairs so that I could enjoy the fresh air of my home town while my partner enjoyed the views. Outstanding and would highly recommend to anyone travelling with a disability. Thank you especially to Martin and Greg.

The driver was fantastic. His commentary was so interesting and kept our attention for the whole tour

Loved the drivers' different stories. See all the sights at your own pace. Thank you
