One of the better HOHO bus tours we've been on. The route makes sense and goes to most of the important places and the commentary was really informative and in good quantity. One issue we had was that we were able to book the tour on a day the bus wasn't operational (on get your guide and only noticed wasn't operating on that day when we read through the info page). Thankfully we could use the ticket the next day. Also, it was only driving from 10 to 15, which is shorter than most HOHO I've been on.

we went all the way round and then got off for titanic then went round again to take photos of the murals and the wall. great experience.

A very informative and interesting tour. The guide was knowledgeable in the history of the Belfast troubles. Will do this again!!!

We enjoyed our tour around Belfast. Driver was funny and knowledgeable. I wish there were more buses as they fill up quickly.

My daughter & I loved this bus. We got to see Belfast & places where my family had lived, we also met some friendly people.
