They went to wrong pick up and only when we rang they realised we were waiting at bus stop for over half an hour
Pre and post concert coach shuttle
Pre and post concert coach shuttle. Excellent service. Seamlessly organised.
Very well organised
Very well organised. No waiting around. Coach spots in Marlay very accessible. No stress.
Used this service to attend a concert…
Used this service to attend a concert in Marley Park. They offer a package that paid for parking in Dundrum shopping centre and return trip to Marley Park. They were very organised and had plenty of buses running, the price is better than paying separately for everything.
Recommended
Everything went so smoothly. We were collected and picked off with excellent time and zero hassle. Recommended and I will definitely book again.
Very efficient and no waiting time

As always a superb service from Marathon. Buses ready for travellers on departure both to and from the venue. Really seamless operation. And very comfortable too.

Lots of coaches ready to go from base location…not waiting long for departure.
Excellent service
Excellent service, I’ve used them so many times getting to and from concerts and I cannot fault, staff are so lovely and it is a reliable service 10/10
Good and bad
The initial organisation was good; with clear meeting points and ticket swaps etc. There were not enough buses at the end of the concert though and it took us 90 minutes to leave Marlay Park and make it to Dundrum shopping centre, which is unacceptable as it is a 5 minute drive!!
The only way to travel to a concert…
The service Marathon coaches provide is the best way to travel to a concert. It is hassle free and very well organised.
Beyond the Pale shuttle disaster
Got the shuttle to Beyond the Pale and it was the worst experience ever! The journey to BTP was chaotic, the ticket did not have an accurate location info plus the bus was late for about an hour… On the way back the bus never showed up! I had to hitchhike on the highway to be able to go back to Dublin. Honestly I will never use their services again.
Lovely staff & great service
Have gotten them a few times for different concerts & they always are brilliant, no stress once you book them because you know you are getting there & back safely. This actual instance we were late going for the bus we had booked for as we took the wrong luas & had to do a bit of a walk to get to the bus but they were so good & let us on the later bus, not a bit thick over us having to get the later one, lovely staff & great service.
