Hop on hop off was great, the directions and info to the place to turn in the voucher was very lacking, the location to the ticket office should have said 1 hr and 20 min walk from the port. When we finally got on the bus we found the guides excellent.

Fantastic helpful staff for a lovely city

We found the most helpful drivers and staff. Very helpful with lots of tips of must-see places. We also wanted to go somewhere called "Beggars Bush" and we were given helpful instructions of how to get there and the next day we got the same bus driver and he asked us if we found it ok and what our plans were next. I wish I could remember his name to say thanks again!

no bus

There seemed to be 3 companies that provide hop-on hop-off service in Dublin. I bought the one Viator offered and we never saw a bus from that company the entire day. I had bought 4 passes for my friends and I and I had to buy 4 more for the big red bus since the company Viator sold me the tickets for seemed not to exist. I bought many side trips from Viator and everywhere else they worked well. So it was around $80.00 wasted.

Disappointed

We ended up using "Do Dublin" Hop on Hop off which was very present. When we got to Dublin, we could not find the location for City Sightseeing to change our vouchers to tickets. "Do Dublin" was right there, rather than waste time trying to find the location, we bought tickets right on the bus - and used that extra time to take in the area. As we got around the area, we did not see many City Sightseeing buses and someone mentioned they were just getting into the area. I wish we would have known this ahead of time and naturally we could not "cancel" however would be interested to know if there was a way to get a refund due to the disappointment where we felt we could not use the vouchers.

Address given was wrong, spent two hours trying to find Viator. Very poor tour. Very disappointed and would not recommend taking. Another hop off tour was much more available and better.

I have always had a great experience...

I have always had a great experience with hop on and off buses both in the US and Europe but this was not the case in Dublin. I made the BIG MISTAKE of turning in my voucher to the Red hop on and off bus instead of the Green hop on and off Bus. My husband and I are active mid 60's but even at that it is nice to be able to get a seat to enjoy the adventure and sites when riding on the bus. Out of the many times that we hopped on and off in 2 days, we were actually able to sit twice the entire time while others were standing in the aisle everywhere. This is on top off having to stand in lines and not actually get on the bus because it was standing room only while we watched the Green buses and Yellow buses both hop on and off stop multiple times in front of us with seats available. It seems their answer on when will there be another bus is 5 minutes when actually we waited 20-45 minutes at the stops. Since this was our way of getting around to see the city the two days we were there, it was very irritating and not acceptable. So my advice - CHOOSE THE GREEN HOP ON HOP OFF BUS AND DO NOT GIVE YOUR VOUCHER TO THE RED HOP ON AND OFF. Inquire with Viator if your voucher is for any hop on off or just one color. Once the driver takes your voucher, you can not use the other buses like in cities such as Edinburgh where we found the hop on and off wonderful but I did use only Green although I could have interchanged. I hate giving one star but in this case, it is deserved.
