I had mistakenly left a negative review for this company after getting confused with another Belfast hop-on-hop-off bus tour company. The other company had refused my elderly parents an exchange after they booked the incorrect date and lost out on 50 EUR. Rather than just letting me know this, not only did the helpful customer care team guide me to the correct company, they also kindly offered my parents complimentary tickets as a gesture of good will, even though they had absolutely nothing to do with the error. Thank you for your patience and help - my parents are so looking forward to their trip!
Mrs. A & I always believe that the best way to get a somewhat comprehensive view of a city in a short stay is to do the Hop on Hop off tours & this did not disappoint - SPA007
We did this tour today. Try to get into Catherine's bus. She drives and provides commentary as the bus goes from stop to stop. She's knowledgeable and extremely engaging with lots of personal stories and humour thrown in as well. The whole route lasts for 90 mins and you see the main attractions, including murals and the Peace Gates. Obviously, you can hop on and hop off at any of the stops if you don't want to do the whole tour, but what we did first was to go around the entire route then changed buses at the end and made our way around to the places we wanted to spend time at.
We went on the open top bus late morning on a Sunday and it's a great time to go as the shops don't open in Belfast until 1pm on Sundays, so the roads were quieter. We saw loads in the 90 minutes it takes to go around the route. It takes you across the water to the shipyards area where the Titanic Museum is. We also saw the university which is an impressive building and we went through the previously troubled areas which was so interesting and moving hearing the history. The commentary was provided live which we preferred to all sitting in our own world with headphones on. The driver was great, really informative and knowledgeable. If we had more time, we would have hopped on and off but we already had another tour booked for the following day so just did once around the route. Would really recommend this as it gives you a really good overview of the city and its history in a short time - you can then go back and visit places in more detail after.
Definitely worth every penny. Driver even stopped at the Peace wall so we could write a message on the wall. Great way to see the city before you start going sightseeing
