Belfast Hop-On Hop-Off Tour / One of the Best

Very thorough tour with excellent narration. The route takes you to all of the areas and neighborhoods of Belfast including "The Troubles". Been on many hop-on hop-tours in many cities and this is one of the best.
Brilliant & Well Worth the Money 👍

Bought tickets online when I booked the city break. Great idea as there is so much to see and the driver tells you all about things as you drive around the city. We got off at Crumlin Road Jail as I also bought tickets for that too then when we were finished there we hopped back on the bus. Well worth the money.

Good way to see the highlights of Belfast quickly. We were just in town for the day so the tour suited our needs. During the off season the bus only runs every 30 minutes which made it a bit hard to actually hop off and on while on a tight schedule. George was an excellent driver and provided great colour along the ride of the sights we passed.
Excellent customer service

We used the Hop-on-Hop-off bus throughout our trip to Belfast. Gary was amazing and even walked with us to a bus stop and gave us an informative talk as we went! Drivers were great too, adding their input, rather than just us having to listen to the recording, it really brought events to life for us. Thanks for making our trip a memorable one.
Very good

Don was very good explained everything and even came up to top of the bus to talk to us. It was a very pleasant experience. Bus window got all fogged up upstairs as it was raining very heavy. Should be a wiper of some sort to clear window and some heat.

Great experience. Lisa & Tony were our guide and driver for the day. Brilliant commentary with fantastic insights into Belfast's recent history. Can't recommend this tour highly enough.
It was okay

Buses leave stop 1 opposite City Hall every half hour. I was hoping for a live guide but information came through the speakers. As it was taped, the information often didn’t match where we were on our journey so he would say ‘on the left you can see…’ but it wasn’t in sync unfortunately. Quite expensive for what we got and we didn’t hop on and off.
The best hop on hop off bus trip

Hands down the best hop on off bus tour we've ever done. Don was our driver for part of our day and he definitely gave us the best experience. His knowledge of each area was just fantastic. He was so funny and entertaining! We learned so much about the history of Belfast and the troubles. Sharing personal stories and the stop at the peace walls was above and beyond expectations. 👏 purchased adult and child tickets via get your guide and were so reasonably priced. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Please pass our thanks on to Don for what was a very memorable and enjoyable day. Belfast is such a wonderful city to explore and this ticket allowed us to cover so much in one day. Thank you
Great way to get a flavour of a city

Great way to see Belfast and hop on and off when you want. Ticket cost £20 for one day. We picked up the bus outside Belfast City Hall. Get the upstairs seats, under cover if possible, for the best views.

From £19.00
