It was super easy to get tickets online and right to my phone through the Headout app. Our guide gave us many interesting facts and a good history lesson about Belfast. He threw in a few jokes as well which kept everyone entertained. We got off at the Titanic Museum for our first stop. When we were through we just walked across the street and got on the next bus for the rest of the tour. We waited no more than ten minutes. Great tour to get an overview of the city on your first day!

Emma our guide (and Gary) were brilliant. I go in these tours all round the world but this rates highly. I come from Belfast but have lived elsewhere for decades. I took my eldest daughter who lives in Holland on the tour with me. She and I learnt so much about the history of the city, good and bad. This was really great value. A must do. Highly recommended.

The HoHo bus covered all the sites within Belfast. The drivers and other staff were extremely helpful, courteous and funny. The recorded narrative played on the bus was informative and easy to listen to. The odd driver will do their own narrative which adds an (unbiased) personal touch. The stops were easy to locate.

Our guide was an excellent driver, and we were very impressed with his skillful maneuvering in traffic. However, he spoke too close to the microphone, which caused the audio to be over-modulated and difficult to understand throughout the ride. Since we were on the top deck, it wasn’t easy to mention this to him at the time. Thank you for checking in.

On 2 out of 3 of the buses I was on it was nearly impossible to hear the guide from the upper deck of the bus. It wasn't clearly explained how to indicate you wanted off at a certain stop. The amount I spent would have been less if I'd just used the city buses to get where I wanted to go (and I wouldn't have missed much of the "guided info" since the audio was hard to hear anyway). Overall, for my money, not worth it, in my opinion. I'd be hard pressed to do this again.

I didnt have a lot of time in Belfast, so the bus was a great option to catch a few things I would otherwise miss. While I didn't use the 12hours for hop-on-hop-off, I saved my feet and fit in the highlights. I jumped on the bus at Titantic and went through the city and up past the murals and the Wall. Noel was a fantastic driver with a great sense of humour/sarcasm, he kept me laughing the whole time. He also - like a good wit - made some sharp commentary, which I really appreciated. I finished back in the city in time for a walking tour!

Hop on Hop off sevice did not disappoint. One circuit of the city to get our bearings and a flavour of its character and history. Excellent commentary by the bus driver. Covered all the main/interesting sites. Stopped off at Crumlin Road Gaol - truly educational. Took in a tour of the City Hall too. Need more than a day to use this service as there are so many other interesting places to hop off & visit. We'll be back.

Help was on hand when boarding the bus. It would be great to have it travelling in both directions as I had to book a cab after visiting The Titanic on the second day as I didn't have the 1:5 hours to continue on as I had a flight in the afternoon.

We had two experiences - the first was difficult for us due to the noise of the bus engine - as we were sitting outside on the commentary was drowned out by the engine noise. However, our second experience ( sitting upstairs on the near side) was EXCELLENT. RODNEY was our Tour Guide and he was amazing- great informative commentary, lovely sense of humour and concern about passenger safety.
