Viator provided incorrect information regarding this excursion. We waited for an hour and went to the location we were supposed to access our passes only to find they didn't open for another two hours. We were told the wrong hop on, hop off bus. There are at least three and the correct one was not written anywhere on our passes or information we received. and many of the attractions included are free anyway, so we didn't even come close to breaking even on this tour. Plus I had a question and didn't receive a relevant helpful response, kept getting the same answers, and was given an incorrect phone number which wasted additional money. Extremely disappointed with viator.

This bus tour passed every major sight in Dublin and I would definitely recommend it. I did this tour on day one, after I checked into my hotel to help me determine what I wanted to do the rest of my trip. It was easy, the audio portion was available in multiple languages and the staff was helpful.

Hop On Hop Off Bus covered the sightseeing venues of Dublin.

A great value! So many things to do that I got the 3 day pass. Be aware 24 hr hop on hop off bus is only for 1 day, you will need to buy additional days from the driver. You can go to the same attraction once every day. Well worth the money!

The card is a must! You can return once a day at each attraction. It was the first time we saw that. No way you loose money with that!

The Hop on Hop off bus was great, but watch out for the airport bus to town as part of our package Bus driver left my cousin and I with our luggage, 3 miles from our hotel. He was suppose to leave us at Hauston station which was one block from our hotel. Therefore had to flag down a cab and pay additional 18 euros to get there.

The price of the ticket paid for the Guiness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery and the Wax museum. All in all I guess we broke even on that...but still not sure it was worth it. We ended up walking a lot because the buses are NEVER on time and we spent a lot of valuable time waiting around at the stops. Maybe if you get a VERY early start and have a multiple day pass it would be a better value but for our one day not sure it was worth.

This is worth it because the cost to get into Jameson Distillery, Christ Church, Guinness Storehouse, and the hop-on bus is worth the price alone. There is no way you could shove 30 attractions into one day but the point of it is to give a selection. The ride from the airport was also nice! It's a little tricky but you exit the airport to where the buses, shuttles, taxies, etc are, you have to go to the bus stop to activate your card which is to your left when you exit. I wish Viator had some more instructions on this part because we were a little lost for a bit but otherwise, it's worth the money. You won't really use the hop on bus a lot though. It's easy to walk to most things in Dublin since it is such compact city.

The hop on hop off buss ticket is only good for one day and is NOT reliable. Waited over an hour for a route B bus and it NEVER came. You can buy an extra day for only 6.50 euros which is nice. All the attractions are GREAT! Never had a problem with them. LOVED Guinness!

The Dublin Pass was a great way of seeing a lot of Dublin in one day. My wife and I visited Christ Church Cathedral, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Dublinia, the Guinness Storehouse, and Teelings Distillery all in one day. It was a huge help at Guinness because the line was probably well over an hour line but having the Dublin Pass let us bypass the line. My advice would be to come up with a game plan before starting your day and to start your day as early as possible the cathedrals open around 9 a.m.

We had a great time, this ticket got us in to locations at the front of the line ..it was also a great way to see Dublin in a short time
Review by: Deborah H, October 2017
The Hop on was NOT a hop on hop off. Every stop the driver had to sell tickets and it took forever between stops. We bought a three-day pass and the second day the driver wouldn't let us on unless we paid six more Euros. WHAT A RIP OFF. I know I was scammed. He told me to read the fine print. I did ant it was good for THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. Do not use this company. I will NEVER use them again and I am a world traveler.

The Dublin Pass with Hop-on Hop-Off Tour does not provide value for the cost. Minimal information provided regarding how to actually activate the pass and it was a competing vendor that gave directions to the location to activate as well as where the bus stopped. The Hop-On Hop-Off covers many of the same roads/sites multiple times in one trip due to backtracking. At 52 Euro per person, we could have saved money by catching local transportation and paying the rates at each venue. I would suggest checking admission rates for venues you wish to visit and evaluating if the cost of the Pass is worth it - in our case it wasn't!

Excellent value and terrific way to access the unlimited sights in Dublin. Entry to over 30 attractions, including the Guinness Storehouse, was a fantastic deal. As with Edinburgh, a terrific and essential way to get an introduction to the city.

Have a plan, do your research and totally worth it
Review by: Dawne P, September 2017
This is a great deal because you really do skip the lines and get free or reduced entry into many attractions. You have to be careful though because it is one day for the attractions, not 24 hours. They are very good about telling you this though._br/_ You have to plan your day. Don't skip an attraction like number 5 the art gallery to do number 17 first and return later to 5 . It is a long tour and to return later is difficult. Organize yourself and do,the stops in order. Would highly recommend buying this tour.

Enjoyed the skip the line feature at Guinness. Saved us lots of time. Found the Irish rock and roll hall of fame a surprise. Lovely tour.
Review by: Cecilia C, September 2017
Didn't include 2 main attractions which is the Book of Kells and the Jail. Guiness storehouse tasting room excellent
Review by: Kurt S, September 2017
Good value if you plan to visit many of the attractions. Hop-on/hop-off feature of the bus not really true to its name, as we waited quite long times for bus at stops, and ended up just walking instead of waiting. Two of our rides there was a pre-recorded narrator not live driver describing the sights. Note that 2-day pass that we purchased only includes 24 hours of the bus, not 48 ...and they are sticklers for the time stamp.

The Guinness brewery was great fun and indeed the whole city ,or those bits we saw, is lovely and we are would love to return. The GPO was also very interesting and made you think about some of the lesser known parts of our history.
