Begin the adventure and hop on the City Sightseeing open-top bus at the Irish Whiskey Museum. The bus will take you to some of the most fascinating landmarks and buildings which make Dublin a unique city. From books to art, from prisons to beer, there's so much to uncover!

Why not hop off at the Writers Museum? Dublin has been home to some of the greatest writers. Joyce, Wilde, Stoker, Shaw and Beckett. Or maybe visit two of the most well-known cathedrals in Ireland: Christ Church Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

If you really want to experience the Dublin lifestyle, quench your thirst with a nice, cold pint of Guinness, freshly made from the Guinness Storehouse. Remember, the bus tour allows you to hop on and off whenever you want to, so plan your journey at a pace that suits you!

Included is also a 90-minute walking tour including the following stops: Molly Malone, Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Millennium Bridge/Italian Quarter (better for pictures of Ha'penny Bridge), Wolfe Tone Park, Henry Street, The Spire/GPO, Abbey Theatre, Custom House, Grafton Street/College Green Tourist office.

Buses were few and far between. Tour script did not seem to match the sight several times.

The walking tour was brilliant. The guide was clear, entertaining, fun and very knowledgeable about Dublin. Bus tour was good but be aware of a number of different operators so check which buses are yours to avoid queueing in the wrong place and missing the first bus, although they are frequent.

De chauffeur kwam ons speciaal te voet halen omdat er op de locatie te veel bussen waren. Er zijn voldoende opeenvolgende bussen waar je kan opspringen, hoewel de andere busmaatschappijen meer bussen hebben. Het zijn niet de modernste bussen. Het open dak is leuk maar je moet opletten dat je geen tak vaneen boom raakt. De bus scheurt onder de bomen door. Al bij al: Aan te raden

Sehr zufrieden. Informativ, freundliche Mitarbeiter, zuvorkommende Hilfe bei einem späteren Upgrade wegen einem Regentag in Dublin.

Convenient and regular service, friendly knowledgeable drivers, overall very good

De ideale manier om Dublin te ontdekken en een beeld van de stad te krijgen. Handig om als vervoermiddel te gebruiken terwijl je vanalles ziet en informatie krijgt van de stad. Jammer dat ze niet communiceren over pauzes, waardoor je soms veel tijd verliest tijdens een stop met wachten.
