“Wow! Aiden with Paddywagon Tours was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and really kept us engaged the entire trip. The Blarney Castle was outstanding and we had no line to kiss the stone. Rock of Cashel was stunning and we had a beautiful day for pictures. I’ve never experienced food markets like The English Market in Cork and it was amazing! I only wish we were staying longer so we could have purchased some fresh fruit and cheese from the market.”

4.City Sightseeing Dublin Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,416 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $32

Ride an open-top double-decker around Dublin’s main sights, from Trinity College and Dublin Castle to Guinness, Phoenix Park, Smithfield, and Merrion Square. The full loop takes about two hours, buses run every 20 to 25 minutes, and your pass includes 24, 48, or 72 hours of unlimited rides.

“Easy to find location, great routes and main stops, right on time. The communication from Viator said we didn’t need paper tickets and that virtual tickets would work at all stops. Luckily, we went to the first stop and someone checked us in and gave us the paper tickets that apparently we needed. The other reviews made it sound like the guided tour was a live person, ours was a recording not at all entertaining but factual.”

“Thee are many places listed on this pass that say you get entry to that are already FREE. It is very fraudulent advertising and very unethical. We went to the National Museum of Ireland (they have this listed as 2 places), both are already FREE. We also went to the National Gallery, entry there was already FREE. We also went to the National Print Museum--FREE entry for anyone. Other places that are FREE that they list as entry being covered by their pass: Irish Museum of Modern Art; Chester Beatty; National Botanical Gardens. I contacted "Customer Service" about this, and looking at the transcript, three of four people passed me…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 351 reviews · 12 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $90

“Great vehicle and locations. The time allotment did not make sense. We had 40 minutes to buy food and eat. We spent quite a bit and had to walk away from our half eaten plates in order to make the bus time. The bus driver could be quite rude at times . he demanded everyone be quiet before he continue talking and would even say things like do you want me to share information or not. I highly recommend having a driver and a tour guide with these prices.”
