Using the hop on hop off service around Dublin City is an awesome way to explore the city for a lot less than using taxis. We opted for the 72 hour pass at €42 per person, which allowed us to tour the city and historic sights at leisure . The drivers are helpful and a joy to interact with. Would definitely use this service again.

The last driver drove very smoothly. At a long stoplight, the tour audio was stopped replaced woth pleasant music so when we started up again, the tour audio was in sync with the bus movement. I like the option of open air seating or covered seating. Cons: We spent more time waiting for a City Sightseeing bus than it would take to walk. One of the drivers drove so fast that he was repeatedly slamming on the brakes, causing us to jut forward sharply. We thought it was Dublin traffic until 2 things: first, we arrived at the end of the route for the driver to say we were 10 minutes early. Second, the ride with the next driver was very smooth.

We were disappointed as we were waiting for the bus at 17.30 pm. Only one empty bus passed, the driver said it was too late. We had to walk a large distance. So the experience was not 24 hours. We took the first bus at around 11.30 and left the last one around 4 pm. So it was 4 hours and a half.

I really had no experience as I was unable to utilize my pass even tho I paid for 2 days. I stood at one pick up point and a bus came by but she informed me that she was not in service but that another would be along shortly. Fast forward 20 minutes and no one showed. I had to pay a taxi to get where I wanted to be. Very disappointed with the waste of money. Will not recommend

Finding the perfect Hop-on Hop-off pass duration

It can be overwhelming to decide which hop-on hop-off pass you should get. This guide can help you make a decision.

  • 24-hour pass: The 24-hour pass is ideal for you if you’re traveling with time constraints but still want to visit prominent attractions in Dublin, like Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, or Temple Bar. It’s also a good pass for first-time visitors to Dublin who don’t want to deal with the hassle of public transport in the first couple of days in a new city. You can get a 24-hour pass from either Big Bus Dublin or City Sightseeing.
  • 48-hour pass: If you prefer sightseeing at a slower pace and have some more time on your hands to soak up the city, get a 48-hour pass. You can get a sense of the city’s essence on your first day and spend more time visiting key attractions on the second day. Both Big Bus and City Sightseeing Dublin
  • 72-hour pass: A slow, immersive experience is what you want? Then a 72-hour pass is the way to go! Three days is a lot of time to visit popular tourist attractions, some underrated ones on your bucket list, and also discover the hidden gems of Dublin. It would also be lighter on your purse to get a 72-hour pass rather than purchase three 24-hour passes. Both Big Bus and City Sightseeing provide 72-hour passes.
  • 24/48-hour pass + Guinness Storehouse: If you want to see the best of Dublin without the hassle of juggling multiple tickets or breaking the bank, this hop-on hop-off pass is your all-in-one solution. With just one ticket, you get unlimited access to open-top buses that stop at over 25 of the city’s top attractions, including Trinity College, Dublin Castle, and the iconic Guinness Storehouse, letting you explore at your own pace and on your own schedule. You can take a 90-minute self-guided tour of the Guinness Storehouse, where you’ll meet friendly ambassadors, discover the story behind Ireland’s most famous stout, and finish with a drink at the Gravity Bar, soaking up panoramic views over Dublin.
  • Panoramic night bus tour: If you're staying overnight and want to see the city on a leisurely night bus ride, then the Big Bus panoramic night bus tour is just up your alley. You can see Dublin sparkle after dark on a nonstop night tour, where a live guide brings the city’s illuminated icons to life with stories as you glide past. Enjoy panoramic views as you pass fairy-lit Temple Bar, shimmering Docklands, Christ Church’s gothic glow, and Trinity’s stately dome, all in one magical hour.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Dublin tour

  • To plan your visit better, we recommend you do a full loop on your Dublin hop-on hop-off bus route. You’ll understand the city better and will feel more comfortable exploring it in the days to come.
  • Make sure to check the Dublin bus tour timetables one day prior to your actual tour date, so you're well acquainted with the timings to plan your sightseeing.
  • There’s no need for bottled water bottles in Dublin. Instead, carry a reusable water bottle with you. The city’s taps provide a steady, free, and safe supply of drinking water.
  • Save yourself from long queues by booking your tickets to popular attractions online and well in advance.
  • Do not leave Dublin without trying some of the local delicacies, such as the Irish stew, Boxty pancakes, brambrack, and of course, a pint of Guinness.
  • Combo tickets are a great way to save money on public transport while also exploring key attractions. Purchase tickets to Guinness Storehouse and Gravity Bar along with your hop-on hop-off pass.
  • Dublin's rush hour is between 7am - 9am and 4pm - 7pm. Keep these times in mind when planning your day, or you’ll find yourself stuck in traffic congestions.
