Take it from Pat - Highly recommend this river tour. I went into it knowing very little about Dublin history and left with a whole new understanding thanks to Pat. Terry was also great.

A lovely journey under the bridges of the River Liffey - Connor and Mark were great guides under the bridges of the Liffey River. We learned a lot and enjoyed the Irish singing!

A lovely experience! - A lovely experience to do whilst in Dublin! Very relaxing and enjoyable. Connor, our guide, was very informative and gave us loads of facts that we didn’t know! Very interesting! He even did some Irish singing which was amazing! It was a 45 minute boat trip which was a perfect amount of time to see and hear about everything Dublin has to offer. Would 100% recommend.

Worth the Trip - Although the trip is 45 minutes long - it doesn’t cover a large section of the Liffey. It does provide great photo opportunities from the river of buildings and bridges.

River Ride - While this was a very nice ride and Captain Mike and Connor were great, we were a little disappointed that we cruised such a short distance. Other than that we would recommend this tour to others for the history aspect.

A turn in the river ! - The guys who ran the boat and entertained the passengers were great showman .This was not a river cruise however.We went a very short distance in one direction backed up turned round maybe twice then back to the pontoon we didn't move anywhere really so it's not to be recommended particularly as a cruise!
