Dublin Sightseeing Tour - Kids Go Free

One of the best ways to experience the attractions of Dublin City is to take a hop on hop off bus tour. It’s also a great way to get your bearings for a first time visitor to Dublin. At Ariel House we recommend the Dublin Bus Sightseeing Tours. All tours offer live commentary by our experienced tour guides

On Saturday 27th March 2010 Dublin Bus launched "KIDS GO FREE" on the Dublin Bus Hop on Hop Off tour. 2 children under 14 can travel for free with a fare paying adult. With many Irish Families planning a "Staycation" this summer Dublin Bus would like to encourage them to take the Hop on Hop off City Tour. Discover Dublin through the eyes of your children. Have a fun day out with all of the family.
