Thank you Paul & Ray! We spent the morning of May 20 on the Liffey in the company of these two guys one of whom was suffering from over indulgence following the rugby on tv the night before). The trip was serene, the commentary informative and comical - the pre-flight briefing a real experience. If you go to Dublin, this... More

Maybe we where lucky, but when we boarded we where with 6. The guide joined us and even spoke a little dutch ! Thank you Richard. We had fun, because due to the fact that we where only with 6, he could really take his time to talk to us and make some jokes. He told us a lot about... More

A leisurely way to view Dublin. Very knowledgable guide full of useful facts and interesting information about the buildings, bridges and history of Dublin. Comfortable boat with easy access and large picture windows. A relaxing change from walking round the city. More

This is a wonderful tour that takes you down the river and gives you all the history of Dublin and the immigrants that left... Super informative and a really great time. Tour is 45 minutes and costs 14 euro per adult. More

We qualified as OAP's so we got a discount and a further discount for having purchased The Dublin sightseeing bus tour. Ordinarily OAP pay 12 euros and no discounts pay 14 euros each. The cruise lasts approximately 30 minutes and you go downstream. The timetable varies with the tides (we had to come back the next day) and sometimes the... More

This is a short cruise but thought we would have found out a bit more. Was very annoyed when I figured out we did not receive the 20% discount from our minicards. The tender seemed very confused when we reached him a debit card. Captain and Skipper very welcoming and friendly. More

We got discount tickets for this tour. Dont think it would have been worth paying full price for. Its quite a short tour approx 45 mins & you see a limited amount of Dublin in that time. Its a novel way of seeing Dublin though. More

We took this tour on a discounted voucher. Full price a bit expensive for what you get (I would not pay 14 euro !) There are lots of buildings and items of historical interest that the boat passes not mentioned by the guide (e.g. Sunlight Chambers, the Corn Exchange, the lightship at the Point Depot, O'Connell Bridge is only bridge...
