Jared is a Top Class driver & Tour Guide - Jared, our driver and tour guide, was an encyclopedia of Belfast city and Northern Ireland history. We learned so much and gained appreciation for NI and Belfast. In addition, he has a great sense of humor and provided a lively narrative.

An excellent tour with live guides - This was an excellent tour round Belfast. The stand out fir me is the tour had live guides on board. Not the usual crackly head phones. The guides are so entertaining. Each dipping into their own experiences knowledge and humour. We circled twice. First the full circuit only getting off at Queens University ) highly recommended. We then used the tour to return to the Titanic exhibition. As the weather was bad we got back on the bus to get back to the City. Buses run to time so are a good transport option once the tour is complete We had three guides throughout so several different perspectives of the history of Belfast

Best 3 days I could have imagined! - Fantastic guides and there is no cheaper way to see the best parts of Belfast Hopping on and off the bus! 2 days for $25 was great deal - I would recommend it to anyone. I did a total of 3 days to enjoy all the stops! It was unbelievable..Loved it.

Not to be missed! - We had a truly fantastic tour with Louis and John today. Insightful, informative with all the right touches of humour and excellent driving. Don’t hesitate to plan a tour with the big red bus in to your itinerary!

Good way to find out basics and distances twixt tourist must do’s - Our driver and guide Mike/Mick was excellent and very welcoming. Much better than an earpiece any day! Good value for money although we didn’t get full use due to Marathon…didn’t know it was on beforehand. Very good for getting bearings of city and cheapest taxi in town too.

Terrible-LONG wait - Don't do it. Just waited 35 minutes for a pickup. 3 city buses came during that time. 35 minutes is a lot of time when you only have 6 hours and were told you would see a bus every 10-15 minutes

Worst hop on hop off we’ve done - You can hop off, but there will be no hopping on. The buses will drive past you and act like you’re not even there. Had to get a cab back after waiting more than an hour and multiple buses passing. We’ve done these all over the world, and have never run into this before.
