It was a good experience but the first couple of hours we were afraid to ge off because our tour purchase was not confirmed. The guy in charge at the dock took or Ownership of our paperwork problem and signed off on us having purchased the tour. He made phone calls and got us on our way to ride the train to the bus. The bus Driver saw what was going on and said he would fix it. It took awhile because he was driving but when we returned he had time to talk Wed it people and our receipt was issued and we were able to continue the tour. The driver giving the tour was also great. I believe the snafu was a rare problem and all involved handled it well. We haves used Viator and would recommend to friends.

Horrible . Given bad directs by ture guide. Never found a bus stop. They are not marked. After walking looking for a bus stop we went back to the train and back for the ship. Never found the tour.
Short visit from the cruise ship.

The bus driver, Mary, was amazing! She was the redeeming factor of this tour. when we got off the ship the people were there to meet us as promised. However, they gave us the wrong train tickets. The tickets would not let us out at Pearse Station where the paper stated to meet the bus. The bus stop had a sign on it that said the bus didn't stop there, then we spent a half hour looking for the next closest bus stop and ended up returning to the originally stated stop to find the bus there. It was quite frustrating. But then Mary was our bus driver and she made everything better. Overall signage could be better and it would be helpful if the train tickets purchased and provided worked.
great option for cruise pasangers

This is a great provider to book with. They had a representative waiting close by and walked us through the process of getting on the train and how to find the bus! We have taken many hop on hop off bus tours in several countries, and they were by far the best.
