Hop in Hop off Bus - We booked this at the last minute. We really enjoyed it. It’s a good way to get around Galway. We stopped in Salthill for lunch then hopped back on to bring us back to the Eyre Square.

Storytelling at its best! - I loved not having to try to figure out where to go, just sitting on the bus listening to all the wonderful and classic stories of times past and time's future. Thank you for a great ride.

A Good Way to Get Around Town - We enjoyed this very much. The driver was very informative. It's a great way to get around the area and see sites without driving.

To Galway or not to Galway. - Not bad, couple of places with their history was nice. Not a lot to see though, would I ever take it again or would have missed anything if I hadn’t - nope.

Not much to say - The best side of the city is the Seaside the city has narrow lanes and traffic jams, and it took us half an hour to go a block or so. All in all waste of time.

Disappointed - I was very disappointed, when I got on the hop on hop off bus I was told if I hopped off the bus it would be 90 minutes before I would be picked up again. I was told this was because it is the end of season and there is only one bus working. As a result of this I did not see a lot of the Galway attractions as I felt this was too long to wait for the bus. The whole point of the hop off hop on bus is that you can see what you want and hop back on without too much time spent waiting at bus stops.

Terrible experiences - The drivers are aggressive, mostly with foreigners, they never give the change, so they keep the money for them, and they are never on time, sometimes they just never arrive!!!!
