Great Service

Great Service. Slight misunderstanding regarding the "buy one day get one free during April" but this was sorted professionally. Informative journey by both drivers.

Ross - great tour guide

A huge shout out to Ross - absolutely amazing tour guide! We didn't want to get off but he had a lunch break so we had too! A really good interactive experience, spoke with everyone, everyone made to feel welcome and part of the tour rather than being 'on the tour'! Thank you - from the little redhead Willow 🧡

Big Shout out to Jerry!

We were lucky to have our bus tour with Jerry. His live commentary made it the most enjoyable bus drive we have ever experienced. We initally planned to hop off the bus at one time but we ended up doing the whole tour just because we didn‘t wanted to miss out.
Big Shout out to Jerry!

Informative and entertaining

I used BigBus twice today in Dublin. And both times I was lucky enough to be travelling with Jimmy as my driver. Super informative, very entertaining and friendly. It was great fun. Thank you :-)

James the driver

Really enjoyed the tour provided to us today by the excellent James. The tour really enabled us to appreciate the architecture and history, in a way that wouldn’t have been achieved on foot. James has a brilliant knowledge and delivery of the historical sights, with a wonderful blend of humour and friendliness. Would definitely recommend 10/10.

Great Guide of Dublin.

We went for a tour with Big Bus Tours Dublin and we were totally entertained by our awesome Bus driver/Guide who was very knowledgeable by all the things in Dublin. He certainly did give us a great commentary and we had some great laughs. Very clever and engaging with all persons on board. Absolutely loved this Tour and we would highly recommend it and especially if you get this guy. I just wish I could remember his name? A for Amazing.

TOP MAN JERRY

Top quality bus tours by Big Bus Dublin and thoroughly recommended. Our experience was definitely 5star because we had a top tour guide, Jerry, whose Irish wit and banter made the whole experience really enjoyable, he should probably be on the stage. The itinerary itself was good but more three star hence overall 4 star rating. Most of Dublin is walkable but the actual live commentary through speakers not the horrible out of sync headphones made it worthwhile.

Fantastic commentary.

I took 4 American ladies on the Dublin tour and I was totally blown away by the wonderful. witty and very informed commentary from Tony. Clearly, a true Dub and a total joy to listen to. We loved every minute of this great tour and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Diverting and funny

Jerry (Suzann for the friends) was an amazing guide! We didn't get off the bus because of him! He kidnapped us with his jokes and his love for his city! Thank you again for this experience!

Ross you need a pay rise!

Ross bought our tour to life! He was so good that we didn’t get off the bus anywhere! What a laugh? You made our experience of Dublin a whole lot better. We had fantastic weather too, overall a great experience and well worth the price, so much so that we are using the same tickets the next morning to have a second trip, unfortunately Ross isn’t around so we’ll be making do with the recorded version.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!

We bought our tickets through the app. Stood at the bus stop for 45 minutes while the 3 buses showing on the app were all over the river and not moving. Eventually got a lift to the museum instead.
We asked for a refund and were told we weren't entitled to one, despite there being no service and the tickets not being activated. Extremely poor product as there were no buses, and non-existent customer service. Avoid!
