Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour - Live Tour auf Deutsch

About This Tour

If you or your travel companions speak German, this is the Dublin city tour to book. DoDublin runs a live hop-on hop-off experience with a native German-speaking guide on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays - three departures daily at 10:15, 12:15, and 15:15 from O’Connell Street. Your guide isn’t reading from a script; they live in dublin, know the city well, and deliver its stories in fluent German.

The route covers the core of the city in around 90 minutes: O’Connell Street past the GPO (where the 1916 Easter Rising began), across to St. Stephen’s Green, around Trinity College where the Book of Kells is kept, then through Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, and finally St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Beyond the guided loop, your ticket gives you all-day access to the full DoDublin hop-on hop-off network. After the live tour ends, hop back on to reach the Guinness Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol, and EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum - all with recorded German commentary on board.

Good to Know

The bus is fully wheelchair accessible, strollers are welcome on board, and service animals travel without issue. Public transport connections are close by. Groups are capped at 40 people. The entire tour runs in German. Departures are Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only - no Sunday or Monday runs. Free cancellation applies.

Local Tips

Go for the 10:15 departure. It’s the quietest run of the day. By early afternoon, buses fill up at stops like the Guinness Storehouse, so earlier means more upper-deck space and better light for photos.

Your ticket covers the full DoDublin network all day. Once the live German tour ends at St. Patrick’s, hop back on to explore Kilmainham Gaol, the Guinness Storehouse, or EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum - recorded German commentary is available across the whole network. You’re not limited to the guided loop.

Present your ticket before you order. Both meal deals - Murrays Bar and Lotts Cafe - require you to show your ticket before ordering, not after. Easy thing to forget mid-day.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is worth hopping off for. Dating from 1191, it’s Ireland’s largest cathedral. Jonathan Swift, who wrote Gulliver’s Travels, served as Dean here and is buried inside. Allow 30-40 minutes if you want to go in.
