Hilarious Tour of Belfast - A family group of fifteen of us hopped onto this tour outside of the Titanic experience and rode it all the way back to the City Hall. Didn't catch the driver's name but initially when we heard his Ian Paisley sounding voice and deadpan delivery, we didn't know if he was being serious or not. We soon discovered he actually had the comic timing down pat and we sat back and were entertained and educated in equal portions. Great tour, worth it alone for the comedic genius of our driver. Bravo !

Brilliant informative tour of Belfast - Absolutely brilliant especially if you get on a bus with Alan as your driver. His commentary was very clear and informative, with a touch of humour.

Belfast - Seeing the Titanic Museum was very informative Bus drivers very entertaining and friendly. Our driver stopped at the murals allowed us off to take photos and sign. Thank you driver. He also had some great stories to tell about the history of Belfast.

A great way to get your bearings - We bought a two day ticket so we could get our bearings when we first arrived and then choose which attractions to visit. Usually tickets are for 24 hours, but these are just the actual days. It was well worth the price. We went around three times in total, twice with a recorded audio and once with the driver, Mick, doing the commentary. On each trip we picked up or saw something new. The commentary was very neutral not favouring either side of the political divide. We found it very interesting and would recommend it.

Informative tours - There is an element of the luck of the draw with any hop on hop off buses and Belfast’s version is no different. On our first journey, where we did the full loop, we had Rodney as our guide. He was funny and entertaining and gave us a great grounding on Belfast’s troubled past and peaceful present. On our second day we rode the bus three times and each trip was very different. One guide seemed to have a much more wooden delivery (but he did warm up a bit), one trip had a recorded commentary and our last guide was Lisa, who was informative and interesting. All in all a good way to get to know the city. One thing I must mention though; if your guide says the Naughton Gallery at Queens University is one of the best art galleries in the world, don’t believe him. It’s only a very small university gallery and the lady on the reception there is having to tell confused tourists that the bus guide probably means the Ulster Museum which is nearby (and to be fair, it is very nice, but that is also probably not one of the best art galleries in the world!)

What a nice tour and a... - What a nice tour and a beautiful city, best way to view the city and all the different areas. We parked at the Titanic open lots and walked to the city center worked out great for us!

Informative amd amusing tour guide - Great little tour. We had other bookings and had only time to hop and off twice. Second time the driver and tour guide was very funny and informative. Worth doing to see the city. Weather was poor when we went (wet and cold) so wrap up and avoid the top deck if it's really bad.

Disappointed on the tour. - Took the tour round Belfast yesterday with family from Scotland. The driver and guide Gerrard were very nice but upstairs in the open was very hard to hear the commentary. I also felt that the history of the troubles was very one sided and some of the facts not true.

Not impressed - It’s basically a tour of Belfast dump it sites. The bus seats had split and we didn’t know until we sat on them and got wet through backsides - not impressed with a days wet jeans. It started headphones but when we got there they said they didn’t use them anymore. We had a kid near us shouting all the way round (not complaining about him) but if we had ear phones we could have heard the commentary.
