A very enjoyable trip

Jacob, out guide is very informative and has deep knowledge about the places we visit. He gave us the right amount of information without overloading us with unnecessary information. He is one of the best guide I experience. On a 12.5 hours trip, our bus driver Nowshad is very attentative and courteous. He doesn't show any fatique and keep the bus running very smoothly. That gave us a deep sense of safety.

See The Major Sights in Northern Ireland in One Day

Great tour to numerous sights in northern Ireland from Belfast. Sights included Carrickfergus Castle, Rede-A-Carrick Rope bridge viewpoint, the Dark Hedges, Bushmills Distillery, Giant’s Causeway, and a quick photo stop at Dunluce Castle ruins. Our guide, Patrick, was very informative about the sights and also gave us quite a bit of information about The Troubles. We covered a lot of sights for a very reasonable price and with a lot less effort than it would have been on our own.

Tour exceeded our expectations

Friendly staff in the office and Matt the guide. We thought the tour was great value for money. We covered everything on the itinerary and thought the times spent at each location was just right. Matt was a great driver / tour guide with a good sense of humour. ( Worth the tip ) We would advise booking this day long tour.

This was a great...

This was a great experience. We had Ollie as our tour guide and he did a great job of sharing stories to inform us. He’s also a great singer! The time at Giant’s Causeway was wonderful. We would have liked more time there, but understand time constraints. The dark hedges were neat, but maybe didn’t need as much time there. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the causeway.

Giants Causeway Is A Must See! Remainder of Tour Was Interesting But Would Not Spend 12-13 hrs on Bus For Other Attract.

The Giants Causeway was magnificent! It is truly a marvel of natural and a must see! Titanic museum was nice but not many artifacts or recreations as I was hoping to see but the information they had to read was second to none. We had a very, very brief stop to photograph the castle and the Dark Hedges pictured was not a true reflection of what we seen. Many of the trees have died over the years but still beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly!
