Not to be missed! - We had a truly fantastic tour with Louis and John today. Insightful, informative with all the right touches of humour and excellent driving. Don’t hesitate to plan a tour with the big red bus in to your itinerary!

Well done Ann - We had Noel the Driver and Ann the guide. They did a fantastic job and Ann was particularly informative for the whole trip. Much better than the guide we had later with another bus company who only told us a fifth of what Ann said. Well done to her and Noel who slowed down often to allow photos to be taken thanks again

Excellent staff and a great way to see the city - Excellent tour with host Stephen and driver Gary!! Stephen was so knowledgable and funny! I’ve been on many of these Hop-on Hop-off busses across Europe but this was by far the most entertaining! Laughs were had all round, many stories shared by Stephen and an overall excellent experience!! A fantastic way to see the city but Stephen made this outstanding!!

Best Belfast Overview! - Great overview of the history of Belfast. We hit a 2 day ticket and used the first trip around to get our bearings and then plotted our stops for the rest of the day and on the second day.

Best way to see Belfast - Best way to see all the sights in Belfast and also to hear about the history. We went on it twice the first time didn’t get off at all and just listened to the tour guide.

Must do! - Excellent! We were meant to get off at the Titanic museum but ended up staying on for the whole tour as Seamus was just brilliant. Incredible knowledge of the surrounding areas and his humour was spot on! A very informative, chatty and fun ride! Honestly laughed the whole time :) We then got on several buses throughout the day. Great way to travel around and see the city! Bus stops easy to locate. Highly recommend!
