Description

Discover Dublin aboard a hop-on hop-off bus tour with entertaining local guides who bring the city’s stories to life, with a few laughs along the way. Choose a 24, 48 or 72-hour ticket and explore top sights like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle and St. Stephen’s Green at your own pace.

The route covers 25 stops across the city, with Dublin’s most frequent service every 15 to 25 minutes, so you are never waiting long to hop back on and keep exploring.

Take in the charm of Nassau Street, wander through the Georgian beauty of Merrion Square and soak up the lively atmosphere of Temple Bar. Visit Christ Church Cathedral and, of course, enjoy a proper pint at the world-famous Guinness Storehouse.

Along the way, your local guides share Dublin’s rich history, hidden gems and colourful characters, offering a truly authentic Irish experience you will not get from audio guides alone.

Upgrade to a 48 or 72-hour ticket to join the Yellow Umbrella Walking Tour and uncover more of Dublin’s secrets, including Trinity College and the vibrant city centre, led by friendly local guides.

For a different perspective, enjoy a Panoramic Night Tour, included with 48 and 72-hour tickets. As the city lights up, sit back and hear the stories, legends and personalities that make Dublin so unique.

Explore Dublin your way, with the freedom to hop on and off, the insight of local guides and the ease of the city’s most frequent bus service.
