Cork - Very easy to use. Can catch the bus right across the street from the train station and in an hour see the lovely city of Cork and get off wherever you choose. Great value

Good experience! - I took my little granddaughter,aged 4, on this tour today. It left promptly at 9.30 and we sat upstairs, right at the front.
I was concerned she'd be bored after 5minutes but it was a great success and she even picked up bits of the historical commentary and questioned me about it.She was charmed to have such a fine view.
The commentary is good..we had no problem hearing it,despite reports here...good warnings of upcoming stops and a skilled driver.

Fun - What a fun ride on the hop on hop off bus! Our driver had a fantastic sense of humor! The recorded commentary was good, but she added a lot to it. Highly recommend this trip - it took about 1.5 hrs for the entire route.

Excellent view from the top - I was able to view Cork in the most memorable way while riding on the top floor of a double decker. It gave me a completely different perspective on the city, my surroundings and the architecture. Cork is truly magnificent and if you get a chance you should try this tour. It was easy finding the correct stops and hoping on and off the bus was a breeze! I would highly recommend this tour!

Get to know Cork with ease - Good way to get an overview of Cork sites and decide which to visit. Recorded narrative sometimes out of sync with location.

It doesn’t stop! - The brochure said it stopped directly opposite our hotel- it did not, so we went to next stop on brochure - it did not stop , then to main mall - again didn’t stop but this time the bus stop had a sign saying it wasn’t stopping. We went to tourist information office who told us to go to the English market. We found it - bus stopped at three places only. The goal, the market and the heritage area. Unless you are happy to just sit on a bus and not get off, don’t bother.

Do not waste your money - Don’t waste your money, this hop-on-hop-off bus is not worth your spending money. It goes in circles to the same place with different stories but nothing new
You could do it on your own and free
