Fun and informative

This is a nice thing to do on your first day. You see the major sites so you can plan your travel the next days. Every other bus has live commentary and we had a couple of different styles. One driver was hilarious. The other was very informative and interesting. Every other bus just has recorded commentary so they aren’t as fun, but still a great way to get from one place to another.

Operator response

Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed seeing the sights and the variety of live commentary. We’re especially glad our drivers made the experience fun and informative!

I don't want to rate this...

I can't accurately rate this tour because I wasn't able to do it , as our cruise ship - Cebrity Eclipse wasn't able to dock at Dun Laoghaire due to high/ extreme winds. This is a tender port. I was just disappointed as I was really looking forward to go to Dublin. But, maybe not this time... Safety first. I hope Viator will give me refund!

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry you were unable to join us due to the cruise ship being unable to dock in Dún Laoghaire because of the severe weather. We understand your disappointment and hope to welcome you on board our tour on a future visit to Dublin.

Significant Bus Delay

We waited for the bus for one hour, from 5:10 p.m. to 6:10 p.m. It is therefore incorrect to say that the bus runs every 30 minutes.

Operator response

We're sorry to hear about your experience and apologise for the delay you encountered. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. If you could email info@dodublin.ie with more details of your journey, including the stop location and date of travel, our team will be happy to assist.

Friendly staff

Nice tour guides on the buses. Good value and an easy way to get around the city. Wish the loop would have been continuous instead of breaking for a bit at the starting point. Really appreciated the earlier service they provide on cruise ship days. DART train tickets very easy to use an dr staff are everywhere when you get off the tender to direct you.

Operator response

Thank you for your excellent review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found it a convenient way to explore the city. Its great to know our earlier departures on cruise ship days and the ease of using then DART tickets helped make your visit more enjoyable. We're especially pleased that our team was on hand to assist you when you arrived.

Loved the drivers on the Do Dublin buses. Each driver brought their own unique sense of humor and anecdotes to reveal the culture in history of Ireland. There's so much to do. You could easily spend 4 days to cover the stops.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review, Diane! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our drivers and their unique sense of humour. They love sharing Dublin's history and stories, so its great to hear that made your experience memorable. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Dublin!

The train is confusing - getting on the correct one coming back. The security personnel working for the rail portion were nasty and rude. I don’t recommend the rail at all.

Operator response

We are very sorry that you had this experience. We do explain at the station in DunLaoghaire to get on the opposite side of the train track. There are only 2 platforms at Pearse Station. We work with the rail, it is not our company and we will pass this on to them. apologies again that you had this experience it is not a regular occurance.
