Should be prerecorded with headphones. Driver was difficult to understand. We started stop 1 and got off stop 6 and walked back to city hall to catch bus back to cruise ship
Well worth it
Diver was very knowledgeable.
Very interesting city, I learned lots about the troubles
Got to see some interesting things. Sometimes waiting for a bus took a while.
We had some very knowledgeable drivers
I guess they don’t limit the number of passes per day ? The bus were packed w/ppl the city route . I couldn’t see anything! At the start of tour they stopped letting ppl on the bus as it was full , but the rest of the stops they let endless ppl on ! Ppl standing everywhere! Not a good experience!
You get to see a lot of Belfast and the drivers provide great information on the sights and history of the city.
We have been waiting at georges market for 45 minutes and no bus has gone by, frustrating. They keep saying is broken
The live guide was great. This is a good way to see what is available to do on a full trip around the city. Then hop off and hop back on a second trip around.
The whole trip around takes an hour and a half.
This is a great way to see the city and where you might want to get off and investigate things more. We enjoyed the ride and the guided aspect of it.
Great bus ride around the city getting to see and hear about historical sites! Also a easy way to move bigger groups throughout the city without taking multiple taxis
Great experience once we got on. Had to wait a little longer than stated, but we still had a great time getting around the city and learning about it as we went!
Great way to see the sights! Not too long to wait between buses. Great commentary from all the drivers!
Excellent way to see the sights and find out more information about where you might want to hop off. Lots of stops with very good guide drivers giving lots of information. We had 3 different drivers during the course of the day. We got off at the Crumlin gaol and Titanic museum. My only criticism is that sitting on the top deck means you can’t hear everything that the driver is saying if it’s windy, which it was at times. Fully recommend!
Great way to see the city! Took us straight to the Titanic Experience which was enjoyed by all. Friendly drivers, ambassadors.
Great trip. Robbie and Eamon were excellent tour guides. Highly recommend. Thank you. Started at 10 am and takes in so much.
Great tour! The recorded information is very factual. We didn’t have to wait too long to be picked up.
It is fabulous! Driver, John and tour guide, Louis, with his vast knowledge and entertaining presentation, gave us a wonderful introduction to Belfast.
We had to wait over 40 minutes as the bus was late, had to take a tuk to the castle as the bus didn’t go there and there was over a two hour wait for the tram , and tuk back so it was an additional cost of 45 euros
good value, 19 sites to see, really liked the flexibility. up topside windy day ended up claiming my SOX hat. Blew it right off
We loved the HoHo in Belfast, it was a perfect chance to see the city and see what we wanted to see at our leisure.
Disappointed with this experience. The driver only stopped 4 or 5 times throughout the entire trip. He didn't share very much information about the stops, and continually asked for tips.
Lovely experience, friendly drivers.they know the history very well.make jokes.makw you feel welcome.
We really enjoyed this. We took the full tour which was about 70 mins so we could decide what we wanted to do first. A great way to see all the sights. Recommend the 2 day pass.
Noel was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to others. Best way to see alot in a short amount of time.
Start early. Buses stopped at 6:00pm. Way too soon to end when there are many stops to get off and spend time. Doesn’t get dark until 10p in July….
Great experience. It saved us quite a bit in cab fare. I was surprised to hear the tour guide was onboard.
The buses were crowded with people standing in the aisles which made it difficult to see the sites or take photos. We ended up getting off earlier than we'd liked in hopes that the next bus would be better. It wasn't.
Having taken the HopOn/HopOff buses in Dublin on 3 occasions, we were surprised at how different the experience was in Belfast.

Hello,
At this time of year, we have over 10 buses in operation—more than any other tour bus company in Belfast.
We also operate a shared service with Belfast City Sightseeing, which means your ticket allows you to use both their buses and ours. This results in a more frequent and flexible service, helping you spend less time waiting and more time exploring!
Good tour but it is quite short. If you stay on the bus, you complete the circuit in about 90 minutes. We did the 2 day tour and hit the jackpot on the first day because the driver stopped at Peace Wall and gave us a chance to sign it!
Tour was good, the downside was we went to Crumlin Road Gaol (walked there) thought we would get City Tours bus back as was raining, 3 sightseeing buses came by before ours turned up & was about 45 min wait!

A must do to learn the complex history of Belfast. We had Emma as our first guide and she was fantastic. Having been born in Belfast at the start of the most recent period of conflict, she brings in the perspective of someone who was a child during the conflict. Dylan was also a friendly and fantastic driver maneuvering through Belfast traffic! Later we had Brian as our guide and with his numerous years as a tour guide here (we had him when we visited in 2017!), he brings yet another perspective to the tour! Every guide brings a little something different! Stop #1 is right alongside Belfast City Hall. Very easy to find! Make sure you go in City Hall after your Hop On Hop Off to explore the exhibits inside!
The experience differed on each bus, we had a live interactive guide on bus one which was great. Then a recording on the buses after. We were told by a fellow traveler , after two bus a drove by the stop, that we had to wave a brochure! That was not acceptable, we waited over forty minutes! Everything was clean but not clear on the instructions.
