Traveler reviews
Great experience
We purchased the 48hr pass. We did the tour twice and learnt a few different things each time. Very informative and humourous at times.
Good general overview
Joined the bus near the City Hall, good clear commentary explaining all the history of Belfast. Covered a lot of what makes Belfast tick, from building the Titanic to all the varied murals and their significance. Trip was about 90 mins in total. Good overview.
Belfast hop on, hop off
Some stops are optional. You may need to flag them down. Other than that, drivers were fabulous. So much information with a heavy dose of humor. Thoroughly enjoyed
Definitely worth it
Great! Stops in the major spots and the guides are really good and funny. Some of the buses have the recordings in different languages and some have a guide speaking, without other languages. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Portuguese recording. The buses are half an hour apart, which isn’t bad.
A must do city tour...Excellent
A must do in Belfast City. We picked up the tour near the Titanic Experience. The tour was excellent. It took us through the city with a commentary of places of significance. This included historic buildings along with the Crumlin Road Gaol, the housing areas central to the troubles, amazing graffiti messages and the peace walls which segregated the areas of unrest. The people of Belfast are warm, friendly and welcoming. This city is fascinating, not too large. The ticket lasts 48 hours and we paid £18 senior rate. Highly recommended.
