Very informative- gave us a nice overview of Dublin.

I really enjoyed the commentary on the big bus tour in Dublin. I have so many stories and history to bring home with me! I only wish the tour had a backwards route in addition to the standard route. I utilized the tour as transportation with my two day pass and I didn’t always need to go the entire route and would have liked to go back 3-4 stops instead of riding all the way around the route. For future users I recommend using the big bus tour as a tour for information and then utilizing public transportation to visit specific destinations. I did love sitting on the top of the bus listening my two days though!!
