Tour guide was great! - The tour itself was uneventful but the tour guide was the real star of the show. I learned so much from him and I thoroughly enjoyed the way he shared his knowledge.

Great first activity! - The perfect start your vacation activity the day you arrive. Not too long, very informative and fun. I want to thank everyone here for being so kind and responsive. I emailed with a question and received a response immediately. For those who need to know, my mother was going to be using a scooter for our trip. I wanted to know if the boat was wheelchair accessible and could we get the scooter on, and guess what? It is accessible and yes the scooter was able to roll right on!!

My experience - The joy of having a good experience getting to know the River Liffey up close, it's a shame it was raining a lot that day. But I recommend everyone to try the tour.

Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the city at a slower pace - I recently took the Discovered Liffey boat trip in Dublin, and it was a delightful way to see the city from a different perspective. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local looking to experience Dublin in a new way, this boat tour is a fantastic option. Beautiful Views of Dublin's Landmarks: The boat trip along the River Liffey offers stunning views of Dublin’s iconic landmarks, including the Ha’penny Bridge, Custom House, and the modern Samuel Beckett Bridge. Seeing these sights from the water gave me a whole new appreciation for the city’s architecture and history. It was a peaceful way to take in the scenery without the hustle and bustle of the streets. The guide was excellent—sharing interesting facts about the history of Dublin and the significance of the river in the city’s development. He pointed out key landmarks and offered great insights without overwhelming us with quite much information, making it both educational and enjoyable. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The pace of the tour was leisurely, which made it a perfect way to relax and take a break from walking around the city. The trip is short enough to fit into a busy day of sightseeing, but long enough to feel like you’ve seen something special. This boat tour is a great option for everyone—whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or as a family. It’s accessible and suitable for all ages. The Discovered Liffey boat trip is a relaxing, informative, and scenic experience that gives you a unique view of Dublin’s landmarks and history. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the city at a slower pace, and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Dublin. A great addition to any itinerary.

Wonderful storytelling - Highly recommend this tour for its honesty and historical accuracy. A highlight of our trip is the memory of viewing Dublin from the water - “old” Dublin is still visible from there. These guys removed the “leprechauns and rainbows” and spoke truly about the IRISH PEOPLE. 10/10 must do. Only one complaint- too short! I wanted more!
