What people are saying about Howth

I opened my app and found the code, but what I needed was a QR code. They said it was sent by email. Since I had made the reservation two or three weeks before, I had trouble finding any email. They very kindly took pictures of the reservation on my phone app and gave me tickets. My husband, son, and I enjoyed the whole 90-minute tour on the top of the bus on the most beautiful day with mostly blue sky. The driver was a wonderful storyteller with a calming voice. We thanked him very much on the way out, and asked him how he could talk constantly for 90 minutes and still keep his voice. He joked that when he goes home at night, he doesn't speak at all. A good laugh. Later I discovered that the email with the QR code came just the day before our tour. I've been so busy sightseeing, I haven't looked at email that much. Perhaps the driver/ticket person could know this, and tell tourists to look for an email that just came the day before.

This a fantastic way to see the city. Every one of the bus drivers was helpful and gave loads of information in the tour. I hopped on and off several times and it was a simple way of travelling without having to learn the local bus routes. I like how it goes according to the time you purchase the ticket and not the date itself. I purchased a 48 premium ticket and was able to use it a span of three days because of the timing I began on the first day. It also included a night tour.

This was a wonderful afternoon excursion from Dublin. It is very easy and inexpensive to take the Dart out to its end at Howth. There we met Mark with another couple and spent three hours enjoying both the seafood and beer as promised. Mark is very knowledgeable and funny and was a terrific guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed it, drivers were friendly, helpful and some were quite witty.

Took us everywhere we wanted to go without long waits for the next bus.
