You get into a bright yellow WW2-era amphibious DUKW, out on a plastic Viking helmet and maraud through Dublin City on a sightseeing tour through the streets and waterways of the city. You'll learn about Viking Dublin and also see historic sites such as St Patrick’s and Christchurch Cathedrals, Trinity College Dublin and Georgian Dublin. The best part is when you literally splash into the water at the Grand Canal basin for a short cruise, passing by the recording studios of U2. The whole experience takes around 90 minutes. Note that children under the age of 3 are not permitted, unfortunately.
