This was the best trip we done in Dublin!! So much fun, non stop laughter and very interesting. We would really recommend this tour - much more entertaining than any other! Well worth €20 each (adult). Staff an guides were very friendly and just hilarious. If your up for a laugh and looking for something a bit different then this... More

My 5 year old and 9 year old grand- children had great 'craic' when they did this tour. They loved the conversion from ' bus' to 'boat' and tell everyone that the best part was when they put on life- jackets and took to the water.! The driver entertained his passengers ranging from kids to young at heart with witty... More

I've done the duck tour in London and this was also great fun but in a different way The emphasis here is on wearing your Viking hats and "roaring" at people along the way The splash part of it is in an enclosed dock area where the "driver" gives people on the duck a chance to steer in the water...

We chose to do this rather than the hop-on, hop-off tour and weren't disappointed. Doug, the driver was hilarious and managed to get everyone to join in the fun. He was also very informative as well, since it goes past all the major sights. It's one of the wacky, alternative things you can do which isn't on the 'tourist' agenda... More

Whilst walking around Dublin I kept seeing people going past in the yellow trucks wearing Viking hats and shouting at people. I couldn't help but think how much fun it'd be... And I wasn't disappointed. Some of the route is similar to the red tour buses but you get a completely different commentary and you get involved. You learn a... More

This was a fun tour. The tour guide is also the driver and is talking to you through a microphone and speaker system. He did provide a lot of information about the buildings and history of the city however I was left wondering if it would all have sunk in if we hadn't already been on a more detailed walking... More

This is a novel way to see the city of Dublin by land and also water. The driver we had was Pat and he was really good with a great sense of humor. The tour was 20 euro per adult and lasted for over an hour. Would recommend for some light heartened fun.

if you want an overview of the sights and a bit of history of Dublin, go on this about 1 1/2 hour bus tour. It's entertaining, I haven't laughed as much ever on a sightseeing tour. Our driver/guide, Vinnie knows his stuff and delivered the information with so much wit and tongue in cheek fun, you'll remember everything! If only... More

I am a primary school teacher and I took my third class on this as their school tour today. It was so much fun and we all had a great laugh with Dougie, our guide. He was hilarious and he really engaged with the children on the bus, including a special birthday girl who got to drive the boat when... More
