Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our tour guide was hilarious and informative. He made the short tour well worth the money. He gave us some great history of the area.

Really entertaining and enjoyable
Interesting view of current and past Dublin. Tidal height affects what can be seen so worthwhile checking first.

Boat warm and comfortable which is more than can be said of the guide Daragh. He came across to be Anti English due to past English/Irish history.
In my opinion his personal feelings should be left on the quayside!

Great way to spend an hour with my wife and 8 year old. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! I’ve lived in Dublin for 20 years and learned lots from the guide that I didn’t know! Darragh was funny and very informative. I would highly recommend!

Our guide was funny and informative. We learned a lot about the city in a relatively short space of time and it inspired us the visit places along the riverside that we may not have known about otherwise.

Not much to see because you’re low down in the river, but the live commentary was interesting and it passed an hour on a rainy afternoon.

So pleased we took the tour, the information was delivered in both an informative and funny way, we got to see many things that we would have ordinarily walked past without seeing.
Given the tide, we couldnt access all of the Liffey, but that didnt stop us unjoying it...45mins absolutely flew by!

Hi,
I'm coming with my 12 year old daughter on the 18th and wondered if your tour is still available then. Also, how much are the tickets?
Thanks
