Bought 48 hour ticket best money we spent, tours very informative, drivers very knowledgeable went round the whole tour first time then went again and got on and off where we wanted. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We had planned to hop on and hop off but ended up staying for a whole round trip ride with Johnny Mac, he was funny shared lots of information and we enjoyed it! Highly recommend hop on hop off bus with DoDublin!

Informative and so funny. Our bus driver called Greg was hilarious and had us in stitches all the way around. So much so that we did the full tour twice in two days with him! A great way to see the city and learn about the history from a Dubliner.

We had a blast on the hop on hop off Green bus tour. The stops were well marked and the best part were the drivers. They are all characters with great personality and wonderful stories to tell and all knew their history. We laughed so hard and had a great time with the drivers commentary. Glad we chose the "GREEN BUS"

Absolutely brilliant. Can highly recommend. Carla was first class! Will tell everyone who visits us here in Dublin to spend the day on the DoDublin Bus tours. Cheers!

Very friendly staff. Loved the little Dublin museum and how it was included with the ticket. Also loved you can get on the bus for two day!

This was easily the best decision we made in Dublin. So many cool things to see and convenient to many places around the city. This is a must do.

Speedfriending Festival in Dublin city center.

Drink & Draw

An insanely fun and out of the ordinary art experience that is limited only by your imagination. 

Stunning tour with many sights you will not have seen or things you may have past and not noticed.

Eoin was great and helpful and meeting the team was a pleasure. To see the work done and understand some of the art genuinely brings about an appreciation.

Will be joining these tours again!

Highly recommend!

‘I have been on this tour and two other tours offered by Alternative Dublin and they are all excellent. The guide, Owen, is full of enthusiasm and knowledge and has a great sense of humor. These are 'off the beaten path' tours where you will learn things you won't hear on a general tour of Dublin.

At the end of the tour, Owen is happy to provide recommendations for pubs, restaurants, music venues, etc. He really loves his city and wants you to love it also’

Highly recommend Street Art with Owen to everyone. Very informative and magical. Funny, at the same time real and moving. Thank you

What an amazing event! Louise the artist was brilliant and was very helpful. The crew at Drink and Draw are really nice and great fun!

I wasn’t sure whether to come along to this as going to things alone can be a bit daunting, but it looked fun and the reviews were really good! It was a great night and I’m really glad I went! The hosts and all the guests I met were super lovely, funny, easy going and supportive! I had a great time and would definitely come back next time I’m in Dublin. Would love to bring friends as well!

‘Had such a ball at Alternative Dublin’s Drink and Draw event last week - would highly highly recommend and will definitely do it again! the lads mc’ing were great craic and kept the atmosphere up the whole evening :)’

I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to Seán - our lovely guide at the Dublin True Crime Tour: wonderfull experience, really interesting and informative. Seán was very welcoming, funny and ready to answer all our questions - highly recommended!
