We loved the easyness of the buses. Timing where spot on. The drivers and guides are very knowledgeable about Belfast. Our guide Emma on the Wednesday was fantastic. If you do visit Belfast you need to book the Hop On Hop Off buses. You won't be disapointed.

Been here 20 years. 1st time I've done the city tour. Had my children over for the weekend and found the information and the tour very interesting. Definitely worthwhile

Initial bus dropped us off at Titanic Experience, where we stayed several hours. Commentary on this bus (sounded recorded) was not great, would have been good to know about headphone jacks in advance so we could hear the commentary better. However the bus we got on after the Titanic experience had a dedicated commentator who gave a great run down on the sites we saw and the history of the areas we passed through - he was thoroughly engrossing and his sense of humour had the passengers in stitches. The weather wasn't great, so we were content to just stay on board and enjoy the commentary.

All went well. Only problem was that from the top deck we struggled to hear the speaker (no headsets now). People were chatting near us.We've been before but we took some American visitors.

Brilliant, really handy for getting round the city, seeing places you maybe wouldn't know about or to get to attractions you've planned to see, and the commentary is first class!

The buses were clean and very well run and informative. The BEST part of the tour was having Alan as our driver/guide. He was very informative and able to tell wonderful stories that tied into the places on the tour. He knew how to explain how the troubles affected the city, in a caring, information way, that really made us feel the impact and healing that is happening. Plus he has a good sense of humor and can give the English a bit of a ribbing over football. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so very much!

We liked the tour guide Steve. He was informative and entertaining. He was with a driver Noel I think. He was excellent. We weren't so keen on the second driver/tour guide. He was older and very opinionated... and did go on and on and on about football! If i could have changed buses I would have!
