Kudos to driver Jerry! He made the ride! He sang, recited poetry and told some bad jokes and plenty of good ones too. But my favorite was his impression of Tom Cruise doing an Irish accent. It had us rolling! The only bad thing was we hopped off at the Jamison stop and when we left, we got a different driver with just a recorded track. Do yourself a favor and wait for Jerry's bus. Even if you have to hang out a bit. It's worth it!

We had an excellent Tour Guide/Driver (Michael). From the minute we boarded, he had us all laughing! Highly knowledgeable when we asked questions too. Scanning our tickets was super easy and we had no issue "hopping on and off" the bus throughout our stay in Dublin. Some buses were older than others, while some were newer. Some buses had no wifi connection, but most did. Each bus had map brochures. Overall, I would highly recommend and would easily rebook them if I had the chance to!
