4.00We always enjoy the HopOn/HopOff bus tours when we are in Ireland. We learned from our last trip in 2022 to do the bus tour the FIRST day so we can plan where we want to spend time the following day. The bus driver/tour guides are always informative and helpful.

3.00Covered a lot of area, but only comes once every half hour and ends at 5pm. Prefer the numerous other options in Dublin with more frequent buses and longer hours
