Great Dublin experience - I hopped on and off several times and had the pleasure of listening to several different bus operators/tour guides. Every guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They all wove in different stores about their experiences in Dublin, while giving the standard tour guide experience. The tour covered all the major sights around Dublin and the highlight of the tour for me was the Guinness Storehouse. The Guinness Storehouse is an experience not to be missed. It’s interactive and really informative. Then there is the reward at the end, a pint of Guinness, there are several to choose from. Who knew! The views of the City from the sky bar are exceptional. I would totally recommend this tour.

Cool way to learn the history, science, and marketing of Guinness! - Really cool way to learn about the history, science, and marketing of Guinness! Definitely worth the extra time and money to buy the laser-created picture of your face on the foam!

Fantastic driver and commentary - The big bus was a fabulous way to introduce us to Dublin and its attractions. Our driver Gerry was exceptional! Not only did he cheerfully and efficiently sort out a problem we had with our tickets, he also provided an exceptional commentary throughout the journey. It was the perfect mix of interesting anecdotes, historical facts and humour. Thanks Gerry!

Great way to get around and see the sights - Great experience. Our drivers were very informative. Easy to get on and off. Would do it again. It was great that it dropped us off at Guinness and loved having no line ups to get in.

Excellent value - The 48hr hop-on hop-off was great for getting around and also informative too, with lots of jokes along the way. The Guiness tour was excellent, it is self guided which we preferred and meant we could walk around at our own pace. Lots of interesting facts, the small tasting session was very nice, all topped off with a free pint each in the gravity bar with amazing views of Dublin. Great couple of days.

Great trip, narrator makes a big difference! - We really enjoyed this, particularly the Guinness Distillery. If you can sit up top that is the best seat. We had pretty cool weather so we had to wait till the covered area on top had availability. The narrator makes this part of the trip. We had a very animated and informative narrator for stops 8-15 (25 is the distillery. From stop 15-25, the narrators accent was so deep we could not understand him, all four of us. So that was disappointing. From stop 1-8 (8 is where our car was parked near) we were able to understand the narrator, however he was pretty bland and not Interesting. The first narrator almost never stopped talking, and was animated and interesting.

Viator blew it. - Guiness was great. Unfortunately we didn't have tickets since Viator did not book the 8 of us even though we paid a month before. After an hour of trying to figure this out Marie the Guiness manager was nice enough to give us tickets. Saved the day.
