Very Fun and Efficient Way to see Dublin - The Hop-On/Hop-Off is a great way to get an overview of the city when on a limited time schedule. The driver was very entertaining and funny! We happened to have this tour on a bank holiday in Scotland, and the train into Dublin was not running that day due to a scheduled maintenance. But, the Hop-On/Hop-off buses were at the dock instead to take us into town and begin our tour of the city. The driver was very specific on communicating when and where to catch the bus to take us directly back to the pier for the ship.

A good choice - The guides on shore were clear and helpful on directing us to the train station. Upon one arrival in Dublin we easily found the HOHO bus. We enjoyed the tour and commentary.

EXTREMELY FRIENDLY DRIVERS - VERY NICE EXPERIENCE - We Hop On on Friday morning and we did the whole tour. The driver was very very friendly and the tour was very nice, explaining everything. The bus was very good. Overall we had a great time. We had the 48 hour ticket so the next day we visited lots of places and the bus was always on time.

A great day out - Excellent from start to finish. Collected at dock in Dun Laoghaire as trains start later on Sundays. This saved time and we had the same bus to begin the drive round. Excellent driver, Richie, who gave a live commentary which was really good, including advice on last timings for comfortable train return to Dun Laoghaire. Train journey easy.

Wish We Had More Time in Dublin! - We were delighted to learn that the excursion included round-trip rail transfer. This is NOT clearly stated in the description. Unfortunately, we were delayed getting tenders from our cruise ship into port due to high"ish" seas and this definitely shortened our day and abbreviated our plans. That said, it was fairly easy to find the Hop-on Hop-off staff upon arriving in Dun Laoghaire and getting the DART into Dublin. This is a good way to get around Dublin and see the city in a short amount of time.

Not worth it. - We were able to get on the bus but after we got off we never could find one again and when we did it was at capacity’. I would not book this again. We then had to Uber it so we wouldn’t miss our ship
