What you can expect

Enjoy this perfect introduction to Dublin on a Hop on Hop off Big Bus tour. Sitting back and relaxing on an open-top double-decker sightseeing bus as you listen to entertaining and engaging audio commentary is the best way to get around and learn about Irish culture. The bus route is designed to take you on a captivating journey through Dublin's fascinating history and daily life where you'll pass by and have the opportunity to hop off and further explore the city's most iconic and historical memorials and museums. The full sightseeing tour of Dublin is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Many customers choose to do one full loop to see the city and decide where they want to hop off on the next loop around, but it's completely up to you how you plan your day and visit. Buses will arrive every 15-30 minutes throughout the day if you want to hop off and head to The Irish White House or the Dublin Zoo, Dublin's leading Irish Whisky at the Jameson Distillery, General Post Office where you can learn about the Easter rising which still shows signs of the artillery fire on the outer parts of the building, and more.

During your visit to Dublin, don't miss the chance to join a Yellow Umbrella 2-hour Walking Tour. It's a perfect complement to your trip to Dublin as it gives you the chance to visit some of the city's hidden gems - often located on narrow streets the bus won't fit down! You'll delve into the mysteries of Dublin, visiting the well-established Trinity College and exploring the vibrant city centre with charming and witty guides.

Explore the best parts of Dublin on foot. Discover the charming seaside village of Howth with a half-day Coastal Tour to scenic Howth Summit and its famous fishing village depending on the ticket selected. This 4-hour tour includes a return journey from Dublin to Howth, a guided walking tour of the cliffs of Howth, and free time to explore picturesque Howth Village, where you can take the opportunity to try some excellent seafood.

Complete your tour with a 1 hour panoramic Night Tour of Dublin, included on selected tickets. During the tour, you'll pass Dublin's floodlit Docklands and atmospheric Georgian quarter, travel along lively Temple Bar, and see Christ Church Cathedral lit up at night. The live guide will provide an insight into the rebellious Irish culture and the many traditions upheld throughout the years.
