72 Hour Hop-on Hop-off in Dublin - The service was excellent with live tracking of the buses and frequent service. The best part were the drivers who were also live guides giving a commentary as they drove around Dublin. They were all great but the most fun was Ger who told silly jokes but also sang and he has a beautiful singing voice! Shout-outs also to Alan & Jimmy as well! Highly recommended!

Howth coastal tour - We took the howth coastal tour today with big bus. We had the pleasure of having Gerry as our tour guide/bus driver. He was very funny and had some great and informative stories to tell. The tour itself was quite short and we both felt it was a bit overpriced as we paid €88 total for 30 minutes at the first stop and a little over an hour in howth itself, but other than that we had an absolute amazing day, and Gerry definitely lifted our spirits and made our day.

BIG Bus April 2026 Jerry and Alan - We are already in Dublin for the second time, this time for a whole week, and we have often taken the BIG Bus! Especially Gerry and Alan are simply top-notch, super friendly and competent. The stories and information are simply great, and the two have a cult status for me! They should work there forever! That makes driving really fun! Top top top! Best regards, Alex from Vienna

My unreal tour guide - Jimmy made our Dublin hop-on hop-off bus tour such a great experience. He was hilarious, incredibly informative, and shared so many interesting facts about Dublin’s history and character without it ever feeling like a lecture. His humour and storytelling made the whole tour fly by, it honestly felt like no time had passed at all. Highly recommend if you get the chance to tour with him! I wish we had gotten his last name but Jimmy was FAB!

Really fun tour! - This was a very enjoyable tour! Our tour guide was Gerry, and he made the tour really great. He was fun, funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and really made a difference on how much fun I had. We went to Howth, which is beautiful. Thank you for a fun and memorable time, Gerry! Btw- I wasn’t familiar with Thin Lizzy, but they were kind of alright! 😊

Fun Trip from Dublin to Houth - My wife and I did the day trip from Dublin to Houth, a charming town on the coast. Our driver and tour guide, Gerry, kept us entertained during the drive out, which deposited us at the top of a small mountain. We had the option of strolling around and then taking the bus down into the town or walking a scenic route down the mountain. We walked and were delighted that we did because the views are great and the exercise was welcome on that sunny day. From the base of the mountain we then strolled into town, passing a house where the poet William Yeats lived from 1880 to 1883. In town we had a great lunch at the local Beshoff restaurant. Gerry then drove us back into Dublin, taking us past the house where Bram Stoker once lived, which was also cool. All in all a half day well spent and possibly the best time we had during our stay in Dublin.
