Good funny tour guide with great information on the history of Dublin - My daughter and myself were killing time in Dublin before we had to return home so we decided to hop on the bus. I must say lovely staff (Bryan with a "y" and Brian with an "i" were helpful and funny. Although we didn't get to do the whole tour it was a real plesent experience well worth hopping on.

Great for seeing the sights - Great tour, runs ever 30min in the off season, and with an expert guide in Jimmy we had a brilliant time, taking in a lot of the sights in day one and listening to the stories and the music was great, on day 2 we hopped on and off at various locations... kids go free was a bonus... busses clean and tidy.

Jerry is a legend - Jerry the driver is the best driver we have ever had. We have been on these tours all over Europe but his humour and the way he told the story of Dublin was simply the best. His singing could improve 😂

Best Value - A fantastic trip. Value for money. Ross and Dom were our guide/driver. Ross's knowledge and enthusiasm spilled out onto the passengers . He certainly knew his stuff. This was a friendly interactive experience whereby you felt very much part of the trip. Thanks for a great time. Steve & Jo Sheffield, Yorkshire

Guides on Big Bus Tour - We jumped on the bus at Stephens Green & got a warm and helpful welcome from the driver Stephen. Headed to the top deck for the views & were welcomed again by guide Ross. We were the only Irish (Tipp !) on board & he was very funny 😂about that . Ross’ knowledge, delivery & sense of humour was fantastic. We learned A LOT ! It was a wet miserable day near the end of Feb but he had everyone smiling. We got off at the Guiness Store Tour & were almost sorry to leave. Its great to think that people like Ross are there, giving tourists from outside our country a taste of the real Irish/Dublin charm.
