Love Hop-on Hop- off Bus - Skip the Beer
My husband and I love Hop-on Hop-off buses in a new city. It is a great way to get familiar with the key attractions, while providing basic transit through the city. The Guinness Storehouse was fun, but the beer was terrible! The view form the Gravity bar was outstanding. Worst pint we had on our two week tour of Ireland. Go on the bus, but skip the beer.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the positive feedback about our Hop-on Hop-off buses! We're so glad you enjoyed the convenience of exploring the city and taking in its highlights. Sorry to hear the beer didn’t meet your expectations, but we're thrilled you loved the Gravity Bar view! Safe travels and cheers! Raul@BigBusTours

Too crowded
We were so looking forward to this experience as everyone said it was the one place we should definitely visit. We booked our ticket for 10.30am but when we arrived there were people everywhere. It was clear that too many visitors had been allowed in at once. Trying to read all the information at all the exhibits proved incredibly difficult, with so many people wandering around. Trying to find a seat in the cafe and ‘gravity’ was impossible. We wanted to purchase some items from the shop but when we wanted to pay by cash the duty manager made such a faff about it that we decided not to purchase them. We were so disappointed with our trip and there are so many better things in Dublin to see
Response from the operator: Dear [Customer's Name], we sincerely apologize for your experience and appreciate your feedback. We strive to provide a manageable and enjoyable visit. Your concerns will be addressed to improve future visits, and we hope you give us another chance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Best,Raul@BigBusTours

Great show light on the science of beer production
Nice Disneyland type visitor experience. A lot more visual on the promotional side of the drink. Would have liked more technical brewing information on the product and production process.
Response from the operator: Hi Arnie, thank you for the review! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us. Thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again!

Must do Dublin experience.
Taking the Hop on Hop off Bus in The city is a great way to get around hassle free. We saw everything we needed to. Then we added in the must do Guinness Storehouse. I don’t even drink beer normally but I loved it. Great experience and very well run and organized. I highly recommend it. Enjoy.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Susan, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the Hop on Hop off Bus a hassle-free way to explore the city and that you enjoyed the Guinness Storehouse experience, even as a non-beer drinker. Your kind words about our service and organization mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures! Best regards, Big Bus Team

Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 362 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour?
+
Around 127 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guinness Storehouse Ticket and Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour?
