Using the hop on hop off service around Dublin City is an awesome way to explore the city for a lot less than using taxis. We opted for the 72 hour pass at €42 per person, which allowed us to tour the city and historic sights at leisure . The drivers are helpful and a joy to interact with. Would definitely use this service again.

The last driver drove very smoothly. At a long stoplight, the tour audio was stopped replaced woth pleasant music so when we started up again, the tour audio was in sync with the bus movement. I like the option of open air seating or covered seating. Cons: We spent more time waiting for a City Sightseeing bus than it would take to walk. One of the drivers drove so fast that he was repeatedly slamming on the brakes, causing us to jut forward sharply. We thought it was Dublin traffic until 2 things: first, we arrived at the end of the route for the driver to say we were 10 minutes early. Second, the ride with the next driver was very smooth.

We were disappointed as we were waiting for the bus at 17.30 pm. Only one empty bus passed, the driver said it was too late. We had to walk a large distance. So the experience was not 24 hours. We took the first bus at around 11.30 and left the last one around 4 pm. So it was 4 hours and a half.
