The tour around Dublin Bay was great. The scenery was fantastic. This really is a great way to see what there is away from the City Center.

Nice excursion, it is worth adding to Dublin trip.

This was a very good tour. We were given a lot of information along the way and it all proved to be most interesting.

The tour of Malahide Castle had too many people, and we could not move around in the rooms and therefore could not see very much. The tour is recorded, and we missed some of it because we could not get from room to room before the tape started because of how large the group was.

Castle and audio tour were very good. Would have liked to have been less rushed. Changed drivers en route, took up some extra time that prohibited us from seeing more on our own.

We were blessed with good weather to see the bay. The castle was nice, they don't allow photography inside. Our tour guide was very informative and did a wonderful job.

Very relaxed, low-key tour - just the right thing to start the holiday and get over the jet lag.

This trip is definitely worth it just to see the quaint little seaside town of Malahide. Driving along the coast was also a treat, although I would plan to go on a clear day so you can see and appreciate the beauty of the landscape.

This was a family trip including young boys, parents and older adults. All of us enjoyed Malahide Castle, the grounds, the bus driver and all the scenery. Dublin Bay was awesome with wonderful views, and flowers. The route gave us city sights as well with wonderful tidbits of Irish history. All ages would enjoy this tour since it is not too long but allows you to feel the beauty of Ireland.

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.
