FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS...

DoDublin began life in 1988, and was originally called the "Grand Dublin Tour." It started off with only 1 bus that provided a 3 hour tour around Dublin City and departed twice daily. As popularity grew the fleet of buses began to expand and today we operate 24 open top buses, with 2 day-tour buses and 2 Ghostbus tour buses. DoDublin also provide the Airlink Express buses - the fastest and best value transport link between Dublin Airport and the city which currently operates with a fleet of 24 buses.

DoDublin is part of Dublin Bus, the main public transport company in Dublin and is a subsidiary of Córas Iompair Éireann which is owned by the Irish Government.
