More About the Experience Than the Tour
The tea bus tour was a fun and unique way to spend an afternoon in Dublin. The bus itself was absolutely darling, full of vintage charm, and the retro music playing throughout the ride added a really fun atmosphere. Our hostess was also incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience feel warm and relaxed from the start.
I will say that I expected a bit more narration and information about the city along the route, as there was less commentary than I anticipated. The seating was also not especially comfortable, although in fairness, it is a converted school bus, so that probably should have been expected going in.
One pleasant surprise was the amount of food and snacks included — there was definitely more than I expected, and everything felt thoughtfully presented. Overall, while it was not quite the sightseeing experience I had imagined, it was still a charming and memorable outing with lots of personality.

Must do while in Dublin!
Highly recommend this tour! Very important part of Irish history that nobody should miss learning about. Phaelin (sorry if I’m misspelling!!) was a wonderful and informative guide with clear passion for the stories he tells and the historical figures he brings to life. It seemed like it was a little bigger group than maybe they usually had but Phaelin not only made sure we were all safely getting to where we needed to be on a busy Sunday in Dublin but also that we could all hear and have a more personalized experience despite the group size. Don’t miss it!

Fantastic trip and guide!
Our original tour was cancelled, we came across this one and the ratings were correct - this was a wonderful tour! It was a long day, but well worth it to see this beautiful part of Ireland. Our driver and tour guide (Mark & Josh) were phenomenal! Josh broke the day up nicely on the drive with music and short tales of Ireland. Mark’s driving was unmatched on those narrow windy roads along the Wild Atlantic Way! We are so glad our original tour bailed on us and we got to
Experience this one! One last thing - Cliffs of Moher were amazing.

Wonderful time
Had a wonderful time and learning so much about Guinness. It’s something that I didn’t drink. But learned to take a sip and let it sit on my pallet for 3-4 secs and swallow and breathe through your nose. And the beer was not bad. Was not a strong bitter test at all

Great tours- Lot's of Walking
Knoll was a great tour guide. Initially, there was some confusion when two groups were combined due to an organizational mix-up, which made it a bit challenging for both guides to sort things out and separate everyone properly. Once that was resolved, everything ran smoothly. Knoll was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor at times, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The Jameson Tour was actually better than expected—a well-presented experience with an excellent tasting of Irish whiskey.
The Guinness Tour was very informative, but extremely crowded. It felt a bit rushed, likely because we were there later in the day.
Overall, the day went very well—just be prepared for a lot of walking.

Tour Guide Pat and Driver Mark = Great/Safe Adventure!
This tour was wonderful and highly recommended for anyone traveling without a vehicle. This was my first time using Viator and it’s a great app! The Collins Tour to two beautiful and different towns was great: we felt super welcomed upon arrival; the drive by Mark felt very safe and, given good direction, we kept on time; and Pat is a knowledge, enthusiastic, kind guide. The two of them made this a terrific experience. The Wicklow Mountain National Park was superb - seeing sheep along the drive was a great surprise - with the Glendalough Monastic Site very verdant and interesting to see. Kilkenny was also interesting with so many cathedrals to find and we had a nice lunch at Louie’s.

Limited Viewing of Book of Kells Library and Castle Closed For Government & security reasons.
Be sure your cell phone is charged to listen as you go through the exhibit. They are restoring and fireproofing the library books, so the full effect was very limited. Castle was closed due to upcoming government events, so that was disappointing. This was no fault of the tour guide. It was just disappointing. The red building exhibit videos were well done.
Moira aka Mary was charming & knowledgeable. Rather than quiz us like school children, she could just give us all her interesting information.

Ossie and Mostapa were...
Ossie and Mostapa were wonderful!! Ossie did a great job guiding us the entire time and also introduced us to some fun music! Mostapa was very impressive with his driving and we had zero issues!
Such a beautiful place to explore. Highly recommend this tour!

enclosed boat sight seeing
perfect little boat tour to see all the bridges- well most of the 27 bridges. I didn't realize Dublin was so close to UK- a different ferry you can be there in 4 hours. The captain was very informative. It was a light day and you can easily walk back along the bridges to your hotel. boat was enclosed so not windy at all. very affordable.

Fun city tour
I love being able to see the entire city this way :-) or at least the highlights. I love the idea of being able to get on and off wherever I want to. The tour guide was exceptional as well! Explaining things along the way really helped us to understand things better. Plus they had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend this.

We like doing city breaks...
We like doing city breaks and would often go on a bus tour. I think Go Dublin is the best ones we have ever used the local drivers gave us their local knowledge as well as the recordings on the bus. They were a good crac! Especially dermot Tyrone and Carl

The Best Way to Kick Off a Dublin Adventure!
We had an incredible time touring Dublin with Alex! He was the perfect guide—super lively, fun, and made the city's history come alive with his entertaining storytelling. He showed us all the "special spots" and hidden gems we might have missed on our own.
Doing this tour on our first day was the best decision we made. It gave us a fantastic overview of the city and helped us pinpoint exactly what we wanted to go back and explore more on our second day. If you want a fun, informative, and high-energy introduction to Dublin, Alex is your guy!
