He sang a song or 2 along the way but he couldn't answer any of the questions asked and barely spoke. He dropped us at stops going in blindly. He was an older gentleman, so I understand the low energy but perhaps time to hang up his hat. As first timers to Ireland, I chose the Dark Hedges/Giants Causeway/Belfast tour because I was infatuated by photos of the Dark Hedges I saw online. I had no idea it looked NOTHING like it. It was really a waste of a stop. Giants Causeway was nice.. great photo op. It's a long walk downhill, then back up. Luckily, there was a bus that operates both ways for £1 (tap cards accepted ). We heard there was opihi in Belfast and found some along the way (we're from Hawaii). Super windy that day so we were getting flown all over the rocks. Only stop on the tour that was worth it. Next stop, Belfast City Centre. The tour guy dropped us off near City Hall with absolutely no direction. He told us about a mall nearby, but that's it. Anything worth seeing was already closed. I really wished he would've gave us more recommendations about what to do, where to eat, or anything worth seeing in the short amount of time we had there. After walking around City Hall, we walked to the mall to use the bathroom, stopped at a souvenir shop, then headed back. Total waste of time, again. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND! Sadiy, I purchased the tickets for this tour after the price had gone up about €10 from their 2025 prices. Tour was also supposed to end at 8pm but we got back by 7pm because he kept rushing us. Leaving early from stops. Felt rushed the whole time. I feel it was a total waste of money that could've been used elsewhere.

The pass…read morealso lasts for 48hrs, so as well as using it for the tour of Dublin, it doubled up as a way of getting around. You can hop on and off at any of the stops, so we did this a few times so experienced a few different drivers. There are 2 buses, one is the live commentary, the other is multilingual. The live commentary is in English. We went on the live commentary, and it is a bit of a comedy sketch to boot. One driver was a bit much, and there was a point where you did think, just be quiet for one minute!! But, in the main, very informative, funny and a great way of just seeing all the places. I think if you do this first, when you get to Dublin, you can then decide what you want to go and visit and then plan from there, and also have some understanding of where is it and how to get there. Really liked the tours we had and highly recommend it! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186605-d195416-r483630681-Dublin_Bus-Dublin_County_Dublin.html#

Ever had high tea in a bus, whilst driving around a city? Neither had we, until this trip!…read more We've made a habit of high tea when traveling and this was easily the most unique experience we've had. It was the perfect amount of fancy and a little hillbilly feeling - a unique delightful combination! The bus is from the 60s and is totally decked out to look like a tea room. It's something peppa pig would ride on of and when she visits the Isle! The teas, coffee and juices were quite nice. We enjoyed some "Nosecco" (Non alcoholic prosecco) as part of ours and were quite happy with the purchase. There were half a dozen tea choices as well as Cadbury hot chocolate, which we all liked. Everything had a screw on lid in a cup we got to keep so there was minimal spillage and maximum memories! The selection of finger sammys, tea cakes and accouterments was quite nice. The passion fruit and mango mousse was the biggest crowd pleaser from the desserts, and the scones were as good as advertised- someone's mom taught them well....or the Irish equivalent of bisquick is solid! The tour took us around the city and while we don't remember a ton, we got an idea of some of the main spots to see, and learned that no one know why the doors around town are painted fun colors - perhaps it's just because they're fun! This was a great, unique experience and it is well worth doing by yourself, with friends or with a big group!

For our large family trip to Ireland, which included 22 people, ( 13 adults and 9 children) we…read morechose to use Butlers private bus tours. We started in Dublin made our way to Waterford, Cork, Limerick to Galway and back to Dublin. The Butler's bus was comfortable, spacious, and provided ample seating for everyone to spread out. Our drivers name was Peadar Homan, and he was an absolute delight. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Ireland, the people, the culture, and it's architecture. He was very professional, punctual, willing to work with our special requests, and provided recommendations for the group. Often times going out of his way to help make our trip seamless and enjoyable. Our family tour of Southern Ireland was amazing and memorable.The family is in agreement that Peadar definitely added to the overall experience. Would highly recommend using Butler's tours for your travel needs and if possible requesting Peadar Homan as your driver.

The company claims to be cruise friendly…read more I notified them a day in advance that our cruise was in a storm and we would not be arriving within a reasonable time of the tour. The company refused to cancel the tour, citing their cruise policy only applies if the cruise does not disembark at all. With their refusal to cancel and no reduced fee for the tour, despite the fact it was a 3 hour tour instead of the day trip planned, going to none of the stops that were on the itinerary, I can confidently state this is not a cruise friendly company, nor a customer oriented one. Although it isn't the guides fault (or ours), our guide took us to a little town where virtually everything is closed. A reputable tour company does not do this. Everyone knows that a good tour company is one that understands a win-win is possible in these circumstances (more than one win-win option available in these circumstances), but greed took over for Butlers. Highly avoid!

CityScape buses, are more of a hop on, hop off tour and one of three similar businesses in Dublin…read more We chose the 3 day ticket for €25, see photo. For the most part, it was fast and easy. The drivers are knowledgeable, offering bits of history as you go from stop to stop. Whether it was century old speculation on Charles Parnell's love life, or the very real and sad, yet also heroic ones of the Easter Rising of 1916, we couldn't get enough. One of the best recommendations we received, was on local Trinity Prof Micheál Ó Siochrú's book on Olive Cromwell in Ireland. I would highly recommend "God's Executioner". As our guide pointed out, Cromwell spent only nine months in Ireland, so it's hard to blame him for everything. For us the only down side to CityScape was the apparent lack of buses, compared to it's competition. We too, sat outside the Guinness Storehouse, as other Yelp'ers have noted, while buses went by. And yes, our driver went inside to, er, pickup additional passengers. LOL. It's all part of the charm of Dublin. Enjoy!

Do not waste your money. The bus did not pull in and stop at Houston Station the morning I waited…read moreto be picked up. I watched it go by. It also did not follow the route to to the Zoo the next morning and rather went down the Quay towards the City Center while my husband and I waited on Parkgate. (it was supposed to hit parkgate after the zoo) I was stuck on the bus for 30 minutes while they changed shifts. Another 10 minutes sitting at another stop because he apparently was driving too fast to the next stop. His monologue consisted of snarky comments about big businesses in Ireland avoiding taxes and the waste of taxpayer money on the millennial tower. Finally, and maybe it's because I am a 'new' tourist, there are, I think THREE hop on and hop off services. They do NOT accept each other's fares. When we bought this at the KIOSK there was NO warning that not all Hop ons and Hop offs are alike. Buyer beware!

The cliffs were very very busy so not enough time to do it all and eat and go to the toilet. We walked half and opted to eat. The bathroom lines are very long, no fault of the tour. Our guide and driver were professional and mostly kind. We learned a lot about Irish history from Aaron and felt safe being driven by Stipe. I would have liked to know more about some of the specific things/places we saw as we saw them while driving in the country (I.e. ruins, stone walls, interesting mountains, the beaches, or the little walls) but in return learned so much about Ireland and its rich history. Aron and Stipe were a very well rounded pair. Thank you!

Michael somehow got us everywhere in record time without it ever feeling rushed, which meant we had more time at each stop. On a 12-hour day, that matters. Huge credit to him for making the logistics feel effortless. Aaron was the real glue of the experience. He actually knew what he was talking about and didn't just recite facts -- he added personality, humor, and context that made everything stick. When you're spending that long together on a bus, the vibe is everything, and he nailed it. We lucked out with amazing weather at the Cliffs -- cold, but crystal clear visibility. We hit both viewing areas (even with restoration work going on), and it still felt expansive and worth every second. Pictures don't do it justice. Galway was a blast. We had about two hours in the city center, which was enough to explore, grab food, and soak up the energy -- though honestly, I could've stayed all day. The recommendations we got were spot on. The pacing was great, the bus was as comfortable as it realistically can be for a full-day tour, and it never felt chaotic or disorganized. I would 100% recommend this to first-time visitors to Ireland and honestly even to people coming back who want a seamless, well-run way to see the west coast without thinking about logistics. Michael and Aaron -- absolute pros.
