Great Way to See Dublin! - I highly recommend Gerry’s sightseeing tour on the Big Bus. Rather than hopping on and off we stayed on the bus the entire time to experience Gerry’s humor and singing and learned a lot about Dublin’s history. It was well worth our time!

Brilliantly performed David! - A friend of mine and I had an Amazing experience with the sightseeing tour with the funny, lovely and much entertaining David as our guide. A two for one, brilliantly performed live comedy and sightseeing. We completed the entire tour on the bus just for the sake of David and his humor. The tour will most definitely help color our overall experience from Dublin. Much love for this artist of a tour guide and highly recommend!

Great way to see and get oriented to the city of Dublin! - We did this Big Bus Tour on our 2nd day in Dublin and it worked great to get ourselves oriented to the city layout and to learn about the location and highlights of the city's main attractions. We were with elderly parents, so we chose to hop-on and ride the full loop around the city, which took about 1 hour & 45 minutes, versus hopping off at any of the stops. The commentary from the live guide on the bus was great, informative, and entertaining!

Great tour! Best way to spend a day in Dublin! - Robby was our driver and skillfully drove and narrated through the busy streets of Dublin. His storytelling was interesting and humorous as he managed a full bus. I enjoyed the ride so much I stayed for the whole route.

Thankyou& Thankyou Gerry - Amazing tours and so knowledgeable. I love that you can literally hop on and off at your leisure throughout the day. Gerry was just phenomenal. Made us laugh from start to finish. We did a full tour from stop 1-25 just to have an amazing tour but also because Gerry was so entertaining and enthusiastic about Dublin. He is an asset to the team. Thankyou Gerry for making the tour we did amazing. We used the busses a lot of times within the 48hr period we bought the tickets and were brilliant every time. I love Dublin and always have but I got to see some beauty spots with this bus ticket. Thankyou for making us have a better experience in Dublin and making it more fun🇮🇪💚
