Really enjoyed it, just end up missing quite a bit of the information through the speaker due to the noise of wind on the top deck and the engine at times so headphones would have been better. Friendly drivers and informative

A really entertaining and informative tour. A great way to see and learn about Belfast's colourful past from a true local. Catherine was awesome - funny, insightful, and in handling the delicate topics, gave a balanced and diplomatic history of the troubles and how it affected locals on both sides of the wall, with a positive outlook to the future. We saw and learned about many other points of interest in the city. We went around once to get the full story, then again to hop on and off where it looked interesting. Thanks Catherine. You're a star. From two Aussie descendants of Belfast, who knew nothing about our heritage, now we know a lot more. Cheers!

We really enjoyed the tour of Belfast on the hop on hop off bus. Tour guide was fantastic (louis) and very informative and knowledgeabe about the city. Belfast is such an interesting city and it was great to learn about the history (good and bad). I can't wait to come back to belfast for a longer trip.

Hop on Hop off City was a just brilliant experience made even better by our Driver/Guide, Don. He was friendly, witty, very informative, and made history come alive. Totally recommend the Personal touch as opposed to the recorded information which was on the covered in bus. Missed his whole tour as we jumped off a couple of times. Best three areas in my opinion. The Personal hop on hop off bus. The Crum( Crumlin Goal) and the Queens University Area including the Ulster Museum, Botanical Gardens and the streets I lived in during my college years. Highly recommend.
