 | |  |  | Tours Around Dublin / Ireland: City Sightseeing Dublin | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
I really only did one 'sightseeing' thing when I was in Dublin and that was going on a bus tour. Due to not having a lot of time in the city (and spending my nights at clubs or down in Co. Wexford) I didn't go into any of the museums or galleries - at least that gives me plenty to do on my next trip! Anyway I took a City Sightseeing Dublin bus from Upper O'Connell St and took the route that goes all over the city (the red route, the other route is yellow). I think the best thing about this sightseeing tour was the driver - Pat. He was a great guy, perfect as a commentator, and guided us around his city. His running commentary on the city was informative, funny and honest. He was definitely a 'tell it like it is' man. But even if you don't get Pat as your driver, I think the recorded commentary would still be just as informative. The tour goes over the north and south parts of the city and even out and into Phoenix Park. It is a hop-on hop-off tour, and will stop at places like: Guinness Storehouse, National Museum, Old Jameson Distillery, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, Temple Bar, St. Stephen's Green and many other places. Tours are in: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Italian and Russian. They run (on average) every 15 minutes. Tickets (valid on both routes) Adult: EUR 14 Concession (Student): EUR 12 Child (5-15 yrs old): EUR 5 With your ticket you can also get discounts on museums, galleries, distilleries and Supermacs (see website below for more details).

| | | | Tours Around Dublin / Ireland: Newgrange Tour | Tip Rating: | | | | |
We honestly didnýt have any clue as to which tour we should go on, and in the end it didnýt matter because this one was the only one that had room for us. We had a blast, even though it was a large group. The first place we visited was the Hill of Tara, where one can supposedly see six different counties in Ireland at once. We had remarkable weather and the Hill was very beautiful. Then we visited Trim Castle, the site of the ýBraveheartý movie, and Newgrange. Newgrange was awesome. Itýs this really old (as in 5,000 years old which makes it older than Stonehenge) tomb thatýs on par with the pyramids age-wise and historically. And we got to go inside! We also visited the new Brý na Boinne Visitor Centre. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and cheerful and gave us a lot of little trivial information along the way.
