Love doing these hop on hop off yours in ever city we visit. This one did not disappoint. We chose to wait to have a live guided tour and Mr. Lawless did not disappoint. Very knowledgeable and three in the odd dad joke and of course Irish tunes. He was exceptional. Would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn some Irish history and have fun at the same time.

We used two different buses. The first driver was excellent with his Commentary but the second not very good. I think it’s quite hard for the driver to do the commentary as well as drive the bus- potentially dangerous as well- it is equivalent to talking on a mobile phone while driving.
