    I decided to do the tour the day before folowing the canselation of a business meeting. Although the day was gloomy and the temperature was a bit cold the tour guide succeded in chearing up all people on board. It was a very nice experience. The tour was smooth and we viewed the city along the Liffey banks from the river point of view. We were provided with much and good information about the city history and the development of the Docklands area. The guide had a very good sence of houmor and kept balance not being insulting or vulgar. I really enjoyed the tour.

    A great Dublin experience. The boat stories were amazing, the guide was great! What really impressed me is this: they called us to tell that the place from where the boat was changed, but because we were distracted by the number format we did not answer and did now know that boat left from another place (river level issues). So, when we got to the kiosk and told the lady we do not see any boat, she explained what happened and proposed us to go on the next tour, 1h later, which was also the last one that day. Good place to eat recommendations too! Very easy going, natural, a good customer orientation and diplomacy. All my respects! πŸ‘ you really made a difference!

    Myself, my mom, little sister(all from Cork) and my boyfriend(from Croatia although red headed!) Did this tour on June 22nd when we were in Dublin for the Artic Monkeys concert(let's not talk about it😭🀣). We were across the river and saw the boats so we did a quick Google and realised we had 5 minutes before a tour started so we RAN! Anyway, best spontaneous thing we did. The guy that sold us the tickets was so friendly and even though we were totally last minute,he made sure we got on and didn't make us feel like a nuisance for not booking ahead or showing up with seconds to spare(I know that was probably annoying because we were chancing it). We had no expectations but this is one of the best things to do in Dublin if you're visiting! Nice way to get a feel of things while relaxing in a boat and also get a really informative but funny history lesson that was really engaging and didnt make me feel like I was back in college getting a lecture 😴 DÑire/Darragh(sorry if I've mispelled) was fantastic!!! So funny and knowledgeable he didn't miss a beat and although I'm sure he could do this in his sleep, felt like a very naturally spoken tour instead of robotic like tours can sometimes feel. Mark was also fantastic and I love how he slowly circled the boat at points so we could all see everything! Recommend this 100%! Such a nice experience and being from Cork, I've been to Dublin a lot and seen all of these sights before, but I definitely learned new things and wasn't bored for a second! Really cool facts that you may not find on Google or by simply walking around. Thank you lads, you all really made our morning and set us up for a great day ❀

    We had a great time. We learned 1,000 years of Irish history in 45 minutes. Ryan & Captain Tony were amazing. This is a must when you visit Dublin!

  • 4/5 Emma W. 7 months ago on Google
    Good tour for the money Ryan and Mark were great craic Only downside is its hard to take photos of the city with the small windows but has to be small to fit under the bridges

  • 5/5 Valerie D. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a great time with Gerry and Tony. It was a fun experience with a beautiful view of the city from the river. I also appreciate that Caitriona treated me very well via email in regard to scheduling my visit.

    The lads Jerry and Mark were lovely! Even let my 4 year old sit in the captains chair and beep the horn. Fun way to spend an hour around town ❀

  • 5/5 Rich G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this tour. The captain and crew were very entertaining and knowledgeable. They gave us a flavor of the Dublin mindset, at least their perspective, as well as some interesting history.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this boat trip up and down the liffey, the captain and tour guide were both really funny! Lots of interesting information about this amazing city too!

  • 5/5 Daniela W. 1 year ago on Google
    I really liked the boat tour and strongly recommend it! We had a great guide that told so many fun and interestung stories about Dublin. If we ever come back to this beautiful city i would even do this tour a second time.

    Booked last minute and I'm happy I did. The guide and the captain were wholesome and funny. There were a lot of jokes and a lot information. Although the guide made some jokes about the British, so be prepared of your British;) The boat has windows in the roof so you can see everything right But would totally recommend and it was worth the 17€

    A really entertaining and informative boat tour down the Liffey. The tour guide was hilarious and had a lot of enthusiastic stories about the fine city of Dublin. A must see. The boat was very impressive too.
