Howth trail..a must do when in Dublin - This was worth all the money it costs! Comfortable, well managed and a good weather really did it justice. Jerry our tour guide and driver was amazing in not just keeping us safe throughout the drive but was the funniest guy keeping us laughing and engaged with stories all the way!

10/10 - I booked a last-minute coastal tour with Big Bus Dublin, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my time in Dublin. The tour began in the city centre and travelled along the coast to Howth, a picturesque fishing village with truly incredible scenery. I would encourage absolutely anyone to take part in this tour for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it allows you to see a side of Dublin that many visitors sadly miss. The views of Dublin Bay en route to Howth are simply stunning. Despite the cold weather, I’ll always look back on this experience fondly and would love to return again. I also can’t put into words how lucky I felt to have Ross as our tour guide. Having grown up just down the road, his local insight was invaluable. His knowledge of Ireland and its history was outstanding, but above all else, he was a great fella with an abundance of craic, which made the whole experience even more memorable. A fantastic tour from start to finish.

Miserable Unheated Bus - I went on a cold day, I read other reviews which said to get there early, to sit inside the bus which I did. However, the bus isn’t heated so for fours hours the entire group sat frozen inside the bus, except for when we were outside and also freezing. It ruined the whole experience. It really was awful. Also, with no heat, the windows fogged up inside the bus, so you couldn’t even see what the driver was talking about on the outside. The driver was excellent: warm, friendly, knowledgeable. But the whole thing was miserable with no heat.
