This Hop on hop off bus line is awful…stay away! We were on a NCL cruise and one of the poets was Dublin. Dublin is about a 25 minute train ride from the cruise port and a longer taxi or uber drive due to traffic. Also, it was a tender port so we had to wait about an hour and a half to get off the boat. By the time we got to Dublin’s City Center it was around 1:30 in the afternoon. By the time we got to City Sightseeing’s closet stop it was close to 2:00. The guy that was managing the stop told us that the next bus would not be there for another 50 minutes due to maintenance issues they were having with the buses and traffic. Meanwhile the Big Bus hop on/off bus pulled up (mind you, this company is also selling tickets at the port…this IS the company you want to go with). So we bought tickets with this company and had no problem hopping on/off or waiting a long time for a bus. After contacting City Sightseeing for a refund due to the problems they were having that day (mind you again, we did NOT see one of their buses for the rest of the day throughout the entire city), they only gave us a 10% refund. I definitely would not recommend this company…stay away…it’s a waste of your money and you will not be able to see anything!
