    Didn’t get to use it

    Loretta_F, Apr 2025
    Inconvenient to have to go to one of their locations to redeem the voucher for the entry ticket. It should be usable immediately as a scannable ticket when purchased and activated upon first ride. We already had tours scheduled and couldn’t get to these locations. Unfortunately I didn’t realize this when I purchased.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Hi Loretta, We are sorry to hear about your issues with your ticket. Our 'what to expect' section on the product page states that your tickets need to be redeemed at certain locations. We apologise for this information not being stated clear enough and appreciate your feedback. Kind Regards, The DoDublin Team

    NOT what I paid for!

    Nicola_T, Aug 2024
    I have had nothing but problems with this bus, the app is as useful as a waterproof teabag! I tried to chat and email someone to help but to no avail! We managed to get on to 1 bud, it has been a complete waste of time and money!!!

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Hi Nicola, Thank you for your review. The issue you encountered has nothing to do with our service and appear to be an issue you had with the Viator app. Can you please contact us directly to see if we can help you in any way, Info@dodublin.ie

    best way to see Dublin

    JohnFos2019, Nov 2019
    We met up with friends from Australia This was an easy informative way to see Dublin and quietly chat to each other at the same time .The drivers were fun and entertaining.

    Easy Peasy

    Lisa_K, Nov 2019
    Easy Peasy What a great way to see Dublin on cold rainy yucky weather days. The ease of this system was fantastic. All of the employees were very helpful and the comedic chaos of bus driver Kevin really made the trip memorable. Totally loved this guy!! Highly recommend this trip.

    Paddy the show was a fantastic source of entertainment, thank you Paddy 😁 we stayed on for 2 trips round Dublin , such fun

    Hop on-off Dublin green tour

    Inspiration755181, Oct 2019
    didn't expect an included 'free' trip from airport into the centre - great. easy pick ups and info about the upcoming stop in good time. mostly used on a monsoon monday (so wet all day) but cheered up by a hilarious driver, brilliant. used on day 3 to return to airport for car hire. NB beware theives at bus stand as my purse was stolen at the airport (or on the bus) giving a bad start.

    Dublin freedom pass

    Gwenn_L, Oct 2019
    This pass was a fantastic value, worth far more than its low cost. We used all of its features, adding so much to our visit.

    One bad apple 🍏

    cecilyhennessey, Oct 2019
    Found the first driver pleasant but the next driver gave me a dirty looked when I asked him a simple question. He didn’t do the commentary just drove. So I got off and walked to my next attraction using the map. Then Ken came along. He was extremely engaging and funny! The 20 stops I had to go went so quickly. I actually wished I didn’t have to get off! Keep your eye out for Ken.

    Perfect

    Gayle_E, Sep 2019
    The Freedom Pass was excellent! We went straight from the plane to the bus right across the street from where we were staying. Stopped at all the places we wanted to visit. Drivers were very friendly and helpful. They added fun antidotes that made us laugh - or at least smile. :)

    It’s Worth It

    Karen B, Aug 2019
    Great way to move around Dublin - easy to pick up the pass in the airport- took the express into the city - used it interchangeably as hip on hop off and Dublin buses - would recommend for anyone spending a few days getting to know Dublin

    Very good and useful!

    Daniela_S, Aug 2019
    Easy and useful, bus tour interesting and takes you to the main places of interest. Higly recommend this to get an overview of Dublin!

    Great Value

    Tracy W, Jul 2019
    We really loved the buses with live English speaking guides. The route was great and helped us get all around Dublin. It’s really a great value with the transport from the airport included!

    the easiest way to learn about Dublin

    Michael_e, Jul 2019
    We purchased the 3 day's freedom pass for hop-on hop-off plus unlimited transport from and to Dublin airport which we used without hesitations. Recommend to make the whole circle of stops once and than visit the points of your interest according preference.

    Two Days in Dublin

    William_A, Jul 2019
    An easy way to see many of the important sites in Dublin while being entertained and educated by great driver/guides. We hopped off at those sites we wanted to visit in depth or those to which we'd already set up timed visits. Worked like a charm.

    72 hours

    PoLin_T, Jun 2019
    A very nice product! Includes Pat Liddy walking tour, two-for-one meal in famous restaurants, reduced entrance fee on a number of places and going to the airport by bus. I definitely recommendable!

    Dublin Freedom Pass

    Patricia_B, Jun 2019
    This is the very best way ever to get around...drivers are helpful and patient with tourists, even accepting this pass on other buses! We just asked how to get places and were told where to go wait. Highly recommend this over taxis!

    Dublin Freedom Pass

    Patregan39604, Jun 2019
    Friendly, helpful, and efficient way to go! You cannot go wrong with this service. We found that all buses honored our passes with no question when we asked!

    great value

    Barbara_C, Jun 2019
    great way to get around all the sights in Dublin and you can hop on and off as many times as you want

    great value

    Barbara_C, May 2019
    very good way to get around Dublin and see the sights The 3 day pass is worth every penny and you really can hop on and off as much as you want

    Great way to see Dublin!

    joanne_v, May 2019
    We rode this bus often during our 3 days. Each driver gave a different spin to the tour. Some sang and told stories of the past. A few drivers though were not very friendly and only played the recorded info. But overall it was a fun experience.

    DoDoublin is a pretty good way to Do Dublin

    Bernie T, May 2019
    We found DoDublin to be very convenient for getting around to sites we wanted to see in Dublin. Joe (I believe that was his name) was our first driver and the best. He did his own narrating, throwing in humorous comments as he went. Other drivers occasionally spoke but most times let a recording narrate information about sites along the way. All in all, a good way to hop on and off to see what you're interested in.

    Made Dublin easy to get around in.

    Amanda_E, May 2019
    We bought the 3 day pass and it was totally worth what we paid. We did the DoDublin hop on/off tour bus which was fun and then we used the pass for getting in and out of Dublin. Where we were it was about €17 to get into city center by cab so the pass quickly paid for itself.

    Great value

    Sue G, Apr 2019
    We loved the tourist bus! And Kevin's commentary!! The highlight of our time in Dublin! Great link to & from Airport too!

    Drivers were amazing

    Louise_M, Apr 2019
    Really enjoyed the experience...Drivers were funny...supportive....helpful..one of the.best things I've done in 2019!

    Last minute trip

    Wayne S, Mar 2019
    Purchased a 3 day pass used the airlink bus from airport to Temple Bar, the bus driver was very helpful Did the full tour of Dublin the second day ,plenty of room and the driver was knowledgeable and funny . would purchase the freedom pass again Think the drivers name was (Tyrone) nice guy.

    Do Dublin

    Kristin_A, Mar 2019
    Worth it's weight in gold if you plan on staying in Dublin 3 or more nights. Got to visit a lot of sites we have been wanting to visit.

    DUBLIN FREEDOM PASS

    RICK_B, Oct 2018
    Very good way for first-time tourists to see Dublin. Ride from airport to Dublin was another added bonus.

    Not readily available if landing in Dublin earlly in the morning

    Don_F, Sep 2018
    We arrived at Dublin Ireland airport around 5:30 AM only to find that there was no Airlink kiosk that was manned that early in the morning. We walked up and down the terminal and then outside to find that NOBODY was available to deal with the printed passes we were told to bring with us via the email following our payment for the Airlink / freedom pass.

    Enjoying the sites in Dublin

    Vicki T, Jul 2018
    This is a great way to see the city of Dublin and get some of its history. The drivers were so helpful with other types of questions not involving the route. We used this hop on hop off quite frequently for the three days it was valid, even a trip back to the airport to pick up a rental car. Would highly recommend this company.
