Excellent view from the top - I was able to view Cork in the most memorable way while riding on the top floor of a double decker. It gave me a completely different perspective on the city, my surroundings and the architecture. Cork is truly magnificent and if you get a chance you should try this tour. It was easy finding the correct stops and hoping on and off the bus was a breeze! I would highly recommend this tour!

Great for first time visitor - This tour is punctual, beautiful and the people working in the bus are very helpful. I remember the driver told us what time the next bus comes, always watch your hand bags, the best place to get drinks and where to the reasonable priced souvenir shops. Very green and great for a first time visitor.

Great drivers - I used this bus 3 times through the day. The drivers were amazingly skilled, manoeuvring those huge buses through spaces where I didn’t think they’d fit! One driver I had (female driver) was so friendly and really helpful.

Timing of buses could have been better. - The timing of the buses could have been better. We waited an hr and a half for our bus considering it was supposed to be every twenty minutes. That put a damper on things.

Disappointed Drive - This went so fast there was little time to take photos. We done this hop on hop off in many places and were very disappointed in the Cork service. The bus was either behind or ahead if the commentary. Id take a town bus next time.
