It's a great way to see a lot of Belfast in a short time. Make sure to listen to the commentary which is really informative. We stayed on the bus for the full route but there are plenty of stops if you have time to see some of the interesting places.
A great way to see the city.Helpful friendly guides and the service was regular .We coulldnt fault the service .Thank you
Excellent experience. Great way to have a look around and then get off the bus at whatever places you want to look at. Especially if you’re a first time visitor. Very interesting and informative commentary from the drivers and they make it a bit lighthearted. We booked a one day ticket and it was great. Our stop was by City hall, two minutes from our hotel. Thoroughly recommend
the whole “only english option” should be mentioned before purchasing the ticket i think and wait time is a bit longer but expected for smaller city so not really a big deal. we changed one bus and the first lady was amazing!! she had lots of knowledge first hand it seemed and it built an amazing atmosphere plus funny as heck. the second, GEORGE we heckig adore you, we literally stayed the whole tour twice just to hear you comment on the stuff we already saw because you added the drop dead hilarious element. Give that man a raise and some hecking AC, we dont want him to melt!!! would recommend 150%
Long wait time No rhythm to the pickups Many buses without translators
I was told the international bus was leaving at 1.40 however it was gone and we were directed to a bus without the audio option I had family over from Germany it was disappointing for them as they were unable to understand the talk
We arrived to Belfast via cruise ship. The ship offers a shuttle ($15USD) to the town center, where the HOHO buses meet. I recommend this activity for those wanting a small taste of what is Belfast. Our driver was very informative. The stops aren't automatic. You must press a button in order for the driver pull over at the next stop.

Bought the 2 day ticket - used the first day to really just get our bearings of the city. Catherine was excellent as a guide. On day 2 we used it more to hop on hop off and we had Mick twice who brought a slightly different perspective to the tour. Great value for money
