The majority of our fleet is equipped with on board Wi-Fi which is free to all passengers.

We recommend you download any essential information prior to boarding as we cannot guarantee a good connection once we are moving. We are continuously working with our provider to improve the service but certain issues such as network coverage are outside of our control.

Yes, you can store your luggage in the storage area on the bus for the duration of your tour, just ask the driver at the start of the day to open it for you and don’t forget to take it with you at the end of the day. If you wish to store your luggage in the city at any time during your stay in Dublin you can do so at either of our Tourist offices at 37 College Green or 69 O’Connell St.

Can I depart the tour mid-way and stay in the destination?

We often get requests from passengers to depart in one of the destinations during the tour so they can stay a little longer and enjoy the location.  If you wish to do this please inform your driver of your intention to leave the group so they are not left waiting for you. If you wish to bring along your luggage it is possible to store this on the bus until you depart.

Can I charge my phone or devices on board?

Some of our buses have USB charging ports at each seat which are very handy for charging mobile electronic devices.  At present this is not available on all of our fleet, so if you intend to use your devices regularly during the tour and are concerned about battery life, we recommend you carry a portable battery to top up your device during the day.
