Sit upstairs on the bus otherwise you will miss a lot of things as the bus passes by everything quickly. I would have preferred headphones as it was quite difficult to hear the drivers. I enjoyed what I could see though.

The history shared and the idea this is still a daily reality to citizens. We could not believe the dividing wall or the gate used to separate Protestants and Catholics. Truly humbling and eye opening. The trip showed us how blessed we are to live in America.

We arrived to Belfast via cruise ship. The ship offers a shuttle ($15USD) to the town center, where the HOHO buses meet.
I recommend this activity for those wanting a small taste of what is Belfast. Our driver was very informative.
The stops aren't automatic. You must press a button in order for the driver pull over at the next stop.

Christine_O, Jun 2026
The hop on hop off is a great option, however, our driver did not stop at all the stops. And, when he did stop he let people on first so the people trying to get off were not able to get off in some cases. We missed one of the stops but the bus drivers just drive regardless of whether you are seated or up trying to get off.

Great way to see the different areas of Belfast. Driver was really interesting and gave great commentary along the route and no issues hearing throughout the bus, even outside at the back. Sadly didn't get to HOHO on my second day due to the protests causing busses to be suspended whilst I was looking round the Botanical Gardens. Only reason for not giving a 5* was due to the lack of communication over the suspension, it wasn't noted on the company's website until later in the day that busses had stopped, so only found out after around an hour of waiting from a passer-by that they were no longer running. But wouldn't put me off booking another ticket in future,.

This is a good way to see the highlights of Belfast quickly including the "trouble" murals and area. Note, however, that you can buy a day pass at the first stop or from the driver, which would have saved us about 13USD considering Viator would only sell us two day passes (which we did not want or need).

Pam_L, May 2026
It was Belfast marathon day. I was traveling after 1 PM. I was trying to get to the college conservatory, but ended up looping by the Titanic area twice and sitting on busses going nowhere for a bit of time. I tried to ride a bus near my hotel where there was a scheduled stop, and was unsuccessful getting near there on the second trip. I finally gave up and walked from the city center back to the hotel.
During a normal day, I’m sure it would have been fine. A revised schedule for potential and actual riders sure would have been helpful. It was a waste of money for the 2 day pass for me.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Pam,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that your experience in Belfast did not meet expectations on the day of the marathon. We understand how disruptive major city events can be, and we regret that the temporary traffic restrictions affected your ability to use the service as planned, causing delays and inconvenience during your journey.
While operational adjustments are made during large public events, we appreciate your comments regarding clearer communication and scheduling updates for passengers. Your feedback is very valuable and will be shared with the local team for review, particularly in relation to providing more timely information during city-wide events.
We are sorry that this impacted your experience and led to frustration during your visit. Under normal circumstances, we are pleased to know you feel the service would have met expectations.

Very good trip around Belfast visiting many interesting areas. Would have been better using earbuds as commentary over the speaker was difficult to hear. Overall a good experience and good value.
