ダブリン クルーズ船ショア エクスカーション|乗り降り自由 & 鉄道送迎

First the good. It was nice there was an agent available when we left the ship, even though it was early. He was extremely helpful and friendly. The drivers were knowledgeable and provided good information and some humor. Now the bad. I understand traffic issues cause delays but we had waits that ran from 10 minutes to almost 40 minutes. On our last experience the driver told us his shift was ending at 4:00 but there was a bus at the first stop that was going to wait for us so we could continue. When we pulled up the other bus had left. The driver told us the next bus would be in 45 minutes which would have been too late to make it back to the ship. This left us, and several other parties scrambling to get back to the ship on our own.

The train station was across the street from the cruise terminal. Very quick & easy to change our voucher at the train station for a pass for the return train ride from the cruise ship port to Dublin. The DoDublin hop on hop off bus stop was across the street from the train station. DoDublin gave excellent commentary and covered a lot of Dublin, you got 2 routes for the same price.

Learned so much about Dublin. Loved the ride, Tour Guide and City. We highly recommend this Tour especially with so much to see and so little time to spare!

Very convenient to see the city of Dublin but the train situation was a bit of downer overall. It was great having the included ticket, allowed us to skip a long line of ticket purchasers. However, it was at least 30 minutes until the train arrived, so as one can imagine when you have 3,000 people coming off a boat and a lot of them are riding that train it makes for a very crowded and uncomfortable ride. I know the HOHO company has no control over rail service, and maybe they don’t run as frequently on Sunday when we were in port, but I almost scrapped the plan and went back to the ship. However, we made it. Full disclosure, never rode the bus as I found it just as easy to walk. But I saw them conveniently positioned all over town and seemed like no one would have had to wait long for a ride to the next stop. So as long as you’re aware that you may wait for the train for a bit (though no wait at all on the return trip 👍) it’s a great way to navigate Dublin.

The tour guides are awesome! Besides giving you the history of the areas, they sing Irish songs and everyone joins in. Such a wonderful experience and will recommend this company to everyone!!

Came into Dublin on a cruise ship that docked outside of Dublin. The hop on/hop off bus was late and unreliable to get around the city. We usually like these kinds of tours but this one was horrible. Had to end up taking Ubers and walking to get to attractions. Would have missed our Guinness Storehouse tour if we hadn’t taken an Uber (rather than use the bus to get there). I would say the only good thing about this tour was the train transfer from the cruise port to Dublin, except that the rail system had significant delays in the afternoon and we were lucky not to miss our cruise ship. The alternative hop on / hop off bus tour company actually loaded at the cruise terminal (which I didn’t know) making the train transfer unnecessary.

Our ticket showed that we could hop on at any station. We went to stop number 4 that said that the first bus would come at 9:20. We were there at 9:00. The bus was there and the driver also. He did not once look at us. He was busy on his phone. We waited and waited. At 9:20, he still wouldn’t look at us. At 9:23, he open the door and said that we had to go to stop number 8…. When I asked why he didn’t tell us before his answer was: I was not in service! Never seen such a poor client service! That was on May 25th 2026. I hope you can show your driver how to respect your clients for the future

Wonderful experience. We stayed on the HOHO to ensure we saw everything first and then we went around and got off an on at the sights we wanted to see more of. Everyone was very helpful in locating the correct stops to get back on the bus.

It was OK, for what it was. The only real negative was that the agent waiting for us claimed he gave us 2 rail tickets, but I am sure he was mistaken. I was holding what I thought were 2 tickets tightly in my hand between my thumb and index finger, but there was only 1. I'm sure I didn't drop one. After a few minutes of panicked searching, he finally gave us another "out of his own pocket," he claimed. I expect by the end of the day he would have found the missing ticket somewhere on his person.

This is a good way to get around Dublin yet does take time and planning. It works best if you know where/what you want to see knowledge of the time schedule is key. There is way too much to fit into one day.
