Nobody does it better! - Nobody does it better! A really varied and insightful view of our beautiful Dublin city all on the live of Mic from the fantastic and exceptionally knowledgeable Gerry! Our second year in a row to do this tour and we were delighted to have the same tour guide, he had a few new jokes and lots of little insights about our wonderful city, there is nothing like the life of mic tour. Keep up the good work & well done Gerry! Long may this continue!

A MUST-DO Tour at the beginning of your Dublin visit! - Gerry had us completely cracking up during our tour - a total character in the best way possible. lol. But just as brilliant with his facts and explanations of the sights of Dublin. Highly recommend you take the full loop through town right off the plane to acclimate yourself with Dublin - then choose your spots to dig in. Couldn't have been a better start to our two full days in Dublin!

Great entertaining way to see the sites - We've done our fair share of hop-on hop-off bus tours and this one is exceptional. The driver is also the guide. We were impressed that he could navigate those complicated and narrow city streets while telling colorful stories and describing the sights. And ... he was hilarious! There was one super tight corner in particular. He made some comment about it being a tricky one. Then he started singing the music to Mission Impossible, it was really funny. At the last minute he somehow swung the end of the bus around to make the corner, all while avoiding hitting a building and a truck on the other side. The entire bus was laughing, then gasping, then laughing again. Brilliant. We're still laughing about it. This is a great way to see the city.

Night Tour: Great way to start your time in Ireland! - We did the night tour and loved it! It was a great way to see the city and get a feel from a local. Gerry was a fabulous driver and tour guide, and having a live guide (especially a dubliner) tell you all about the history really added to the experience. I would recommend doing the night tour on your first night in Dublin to get a feel for the place and take advantage of all of Gerry’s fabulous recommendations for the rest of your visit!

Great tour with live commentary from the riders (no AI, no tape...) - We had bought tickets for 48h including the night tour. The ride on the day was very great. The bus stops at the various attractions and sights. During the ride, the driver told us interesting and funny details about the different stations; nothing came off the production line, no boring AI, all human. The night tour was conducted by Gerry, who commented very charmingly and wittily on the bus through the city. Thank you for the great experience!
