Dublin has two hop-on hop-off operators and one route that matters: the bridge, Trinity, St Patrick's, the Storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol, Phoenix Park and the zoo, then back along the quays past EPIC. The buses exist for the three stops the DART and Luas do not reach well, Kilmainham, the zoo and the Storehouse from the east.

Which one

The original DoDublin buses have live guides, which in Dublin is the whole point; the City Sightseeing buses have recorded commentary and more languages. The Freedom Card adds public transport and the airport bus. The harbour cruise combination adds the Dublin Bay boat and the DART. If you are only doing the centre, walk.
