It's ok if you have nothing to do.

If you are limited for time in Dublin, this is probably fine to do, but as I had done some sightseeing around Ireland prior to this trip, it was a little disappointing. It probably would have been better if you had time to spend in the village.

My friend and I decided we'd like to see a little of the area around Dublin, but since we only had 3 days this half day trip fit in well. We caught the coach at Trinity College with no hitches and were introduced to our very pleasant guide. He explained the sights of Dublin as we passed and also pointed out places of interest in the suburbs, including Bram Stoker's birthplace and U2's old school! We toured the coast north of Dublin including the pretty village of Howth where we had a photo stop and the views across Dublin Bay were lovely even though it was a bit hazy. Apparently on a clear day you could see the Welsh coast from there. We didn't manage that, but got really good views of the Wicklow Mountains. We also passed a manor house connected with the pirate Grace O'Malley, whose story was so interesting that we went and bought a book about her.

The weather was terrible so we couldn't actually see any of the views around Howth and Dublin Bay. Malahide Castle was OK but the recorded commentary in the castle was a little hard to follow sometimes.

This was the dullest tour I have ever been on. Whilst the scenery was pretty, we stopped once for a photo opportunity on the main road and then the castle, which is more of a stately home, was boring. If you have nothing to do, then its okay, but don't expect too much.
