We really enjoyed the bus because the commentary explains about the sites, buildings and areas it passes. Telling about the history of the area. It passes all the main highlights so it was a nice easy way to get to the tours we wanted to do. It was our first time visiting Ireland so learning about Dublin this way was nice.
The blue route last bus ends around 2:45pm so pay attention to where you want to go and see if the red line suffices for it goes on till around 6PM. Buying the fares ahead of time online worked great and paid on Viator American dollars at slight discount. Printed vouchers and showed them to driver-attendant. The bus only stops at designated stops and not anywhere in between.
Informative. Dublin City is very busy and congested so this hop on hop off tour is one of the better ways to see the sites of Dublin.
