      This was a brilliant excursion for us. I booked a trip to Dublin for my husband and I 10 year wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed. The location given on the confirmation is precise, I mean you can't miss this beautiful bus. We were welcomed on board and given unlimited drinks and wonderful food. A wonderful tour of Dublin and every in depth knowledge was given from Selma. Daniel was also brilliant helping serve us our unlimited drinks. I heard on the other tables people had dietary requirements and this was not too much bother for the staff to arrange and sort. Throughly enjoyed this and have recommend to everyone I have told about our trip to Dublin and would highly recommend this to anyone of all ages and abilities!! Thank you Selma Daniel and Liam for driving!!! P. S. Thank you for our little gift, this was also a nice little touch and keep sake.

      A very cool ride with great companions and great driver. Despite the relatively short time, you get to know Dublin in a different way. Don't eat breakfast because it's not just tea that's served. Let yourself be surprised! :-) The people outside also look because the vehicle is also an eye-catcher. Make!!!

      We had arranged it as a mini hen for a friend & wanted to do something a bit different. I’m 35 weeks pregnant so was a little worried but the staff looked after me really well & I was comfortable the whole time. I didn’t have big expectations for the food given it was on a bus but I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the coffee & hot chocolate wasn’t amazing but they are really limited with making it on the bus. I was really impressed though that the drinks were limitless. The decor is so cute onboard & really smart to ensure that the food & drinks don’t fly all over the place. Loved the take away souvenir cup too! Already planning to do it again as another girls day out with my mam, sis & niece. Finally we were originally due to go the week before but 2 of us were just getting over covid, it was super easy to reschedule which was so great!1 I would highly recommend the whole experience.
