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.
Great way to explore Dublin

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.

Lots of construction going on in the city of Dublin, so hop-on hop-off bus took forever. We finally had to get off before circuit was completed in order to make our assigned time to visit the Book of Kells at Trinity College. Only used the bus again twice -- to get from Trinity College to Guinness Storehouse and then back again to main part of city, where we took a taxi back to our cruise ship.

The buses worked as they were supposed to, but we were disappointed to realize that the "easy 20 min. walk from the cruise line pier" for a stop toted on the Viator website was really 40 mins. Thankfully there was a free shuttle bus from either the cruise line or the city, not sure which. Turns out there's multiple piers in Dublin and we were not docked at the main terminal. This was a NCL cruise. It was pouring down rain that day, after a month of no rain, so traffic was bad and the buses were crowded, even tho' it was Oct. At the end of the day, we got a little messed up when we got on the bus to go back to Kildare St. where the shuttle bus to the docks left us, we were going the wrong way on the loop and realized we weren't going to make it back for the 4:30 pick-up. It's quite a long loop. We ended up getting off at stop 17 and having to get a taxi back to the docks, which was about 20 euros. And folks, taxis in Dublin do not take credit cards! So be sure you have some euros.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
