Hop-on buses for the first afternoon, guided loops when you want the story behind the buildings. These city tours are compared on route and value: how many stops, how often the buses run, whether the ticket lasts a day or two, what the guided versions add, and what each costs.
Dublin day tour to Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Galway City. Air-conditioned coach, guide-led stops, plus Moher Visitor Experience entry.
“Gina, our guide, was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Her sense of humor was 'craic'! Elizer, our driver, was also great. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if Gina is your guide!”
Day trip from Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, Atlantic Edge, Burren Coast, and Galway City with premium access, guided walks, and Irish music.
“This tour was amazing, 5 stars ! John was an amazing friendly guide with so much ancient Celtic / Gaelic history knowledge, his energy and kindness were second to none . Marko was an amazing driver with all the narrow turns and country roads! Can’t recommend this enough!”
A 12-hour guided day trip from Dublin to Rock of Cashel, Cork, and Blarney Castle, with the Blarney Stone included and timed city stops.
“Driver was nice. He seemed knowledgeable about the tour. I was disappointed the rock was closed but it’s understandable. Great views and a great time. The castle was rough to go up the stairs not recommended for large people. The gardens are amazing and all the stores have friendly staff!”
Dublin hop-on hop-off bus from the Irish Whiskey Museum with open-top views, audio commentary, and 24-72 hour passes.
“Easy to find location, great routes and main stops, right on time. The communication from Viator said we didn’t need paper tickets and that virtual tickets would work at all stops. Luckily, we went to the first stop and someone checked us in and gave us the paper tickets that apparently we needed. The other reviews made it sound like the guided tour was a live person, ours was a recording not at all entertaining but factual.”
Hop on a 24, 48, or 72 hour Dublin bus loop with live or multilingual audio, plus a free walking tour and top sights like Guinness and Phoenix Park.
“This was a great thing to do in Dublin. Gets you to all the places worth seeing, with lots of information, too. You can devote as much time to this as you want, or use it as a taxi service between places you want to see. Really a great thing to do in any major city!”
Go City Dublin Pass with a mobile digital ticket for 35+ attractions, skip entry at many venues, plus a free 1-day hop-on bus.
“I have used GoCity in a number of other cities and it has been fabulous. For Dublin there is a large number of sites listed on the GoCity as if they are included. These attractions are actually free in Dublin so you are not actually as many attractions as it appears. I would suggest that you simply download the GoCity app and use it as a guide for places in Dublin but not actually use the pass. I definitely did not feel as though I got my value for money on this particular GoCity Pass. It would have been cheaper to pay directly to the particular venues.”
3-hour Spanish-guided Dublin walk, Temple Bar to Trinity College and Molly Malone, with free-entry stops and mobile ticket.
“I did this tour with Alvaro this morning. I was glad he got to be my guide because it was clear how much he knew about the place and his passion to teach about it. I would definitely recommend it and I’ll probably do another Dublin tour with him during this trip.”
Cruise from Galway to Inis Mór, then pass the Cliffs of Moher by sea. 8.5-hour day with wildlife sightings and free time on the island.
“Very well organised, safe is very friendly and facilities and choice of drinks on board was fantastic. Parking in Galway and getting to the pier was very easy - instructions are very well explained on the ticket. Highly recommend this tour.”
Dublin to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher in one day, with comfort on an AC coach, Galway free time, and skip-the-line Cliffs entry.
“Our driver Dominic was amazing! He was so fun and an encyclopedia of knowledge. This was a great trip as a solo traveler and an opportunity to meet people while still exploring alone”
One-way Dublin Bay cruise from Sir John Rogerson's Quay to Dun Laoghaire East Pier, with big harbour views, onboard WiFi, and a snack bar.
“The boat ride was long and boring. No narration. Did not know what we were looking at. Hard to find the starting location. It would have been better to take the transfer to town from the cruise ship.”
Hop on an open-top bus for a smart, flexible Galway loop, with 13 stops, English audio, and quick access to key sights.
“The bus driver was very friendly and well informed about the history of the area. A very enjoyable tour.”
Galway by foot tasting tour with local stories and stops from Eyre Square to Spanish Arch, plus pub food and ice cream at 6pm.
“Our guide, Conor, was very knowledgeable about Ireland. So, he had a lot of stories about Galway and surrounding areas.”
Cork City Ramble is a 75-minute English walking tour from St Patrick Street to the English Market, with stories of sea, merchants, and culture.
“Great storytelling! Highly recommended. The tour guide was nice and answered all our questions. Lots of cool history.”
Visit Cork City Gaol with a guided tour option every 30 minutes, plus guidebook and exhibits. Flexible day entry, 1-2 hours.
“Not for people with walking difficulties. Did not see any access for wheel chair users. Even push chair's would have a problem.”
Galway’s after-dark guided walk with a local storyteller brings Halloween origins, murders, witch trials, and ghost tales to life in 1.5 hours.
“the absolute best tour I took in all of Ireland, and the guide Conor was incredible and fun, he deserves a pay raise!”
