My sister and I hired Ronnie, at great expense, in order to be able to see the sites at our own pace. We are fairly fit women in our late 50’s and are happy to walk and would prefer not to wait on others. This will be a long review, settle in, this will be very honest. Ronnie collected us at our hotel promptly at 9:00am and instantly we felt he was a very lovely man who had tons of knowledge of the area and lots of local pride. We shared with him how excited we were to be on a private tour and shared our views of group tours with him. I also told him that I had a sore throat and would be wearing a mask while in the car because of close quarters, fairness to all to keep everyone healthy. Chatting was easy and informative on our drive to the first stop, The Dark Hedges and we strolled down the lane to meet Ronnie on the opposite end from where he had dropped us. We then saw that he had green goo tire repair and a small compressor to fill the tire. He said this had happened before but it would be fixed in a minute or two, also stating that he had meant to get a spare tire for the boot but just hadn’t. (A previous review had this same issue now that I have looked again) Needless to say, the tire did not hold, despite being filled twice more and we limped into Ballycastle where we waited 1.5 hours for Ronnie’s brother to come. We then waited another 15-20 minutes for them to decide what to do next. We were then driven in the brothers car to Carrick-a-Rede bridge and told that we had an hour and Ronnie would return to pick us up. We lost another 10 minutes there waiting for him. He came and we carried on to Ballintoy where he told us to have “a wee look” and then we would carry on….we had 10 minutes there at most. As far as lunch went, we missed that reservation and the window to stop and get a to go lunch had closed as the biggest sites of the day had still to come. We next went to the Giants Causeway, arriving around 3:05 and were instructed to meet him at the car at 4:15. Our next and final site was Dunluce Castle at which we arrived at 4:35, too late to gain entrance into the castle or site. We has fantastic weather and for that it was lovely. The car was clean and comfortable and Ronnie was vey informative. The flat tire was beyond his control, granted. Having a spare and a jack would have saved our tour day and we would be singing his praises for being so well prepared. We expected more from a professional, to be honest. There were no snacks offered to us so we bought our own cold water Overall, it seems that this tour description is overly ambitious for a company that A) has no contingency plan and B) is not fully equipped for minor interruptions such as a flat tire. I believe the first rule of business is to fulfill every obligation that is laid out for the customer, in this he failed and I would hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone. Especially after seeing that it has, indeed, happened before. We paid $715.00 CAD, not a small sum.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I don’t usually get into tit for tat conversation, however I think I need to respond the best I can to this review. I think the first thing to remember is if you’re going to write a review and use timing as a way of reviewing and complaining then you need to be right. Your timing don’t add up and even if you use Google maps as a template to plot the journey your times still don’t add!! Yes I did get a tyre blow out on the day and did my best to rectify the situation and continue on our journey. Checking my phone yes, I rang my brother at 10:42am it took him 1hour and 20mins (according to your emails and not 1.5hours in your review? If it took brother 1 hours 20 mins he would have arrived at 12:10 – 15mins debating what to do next again (according to your emails and not 20mins in your review? Time now is 12:20 and we continue to Carrick a Reed Rope Bridge which is 13mins drive according to Google maps, which mean we arrived there at approximately 12:40pm. On average it take 20mins to the bridge 20mins back and 20 mins on the island. I always tell clients it takes around an hour. So, you can see where I am going with this! I don’t wish to continue with this stupid time lark but I done this bit to show that times are not always correct. Yes there was a delay for Karen and her sister on their journey however I did manage to complete the trip/tour with the exception of the Dunluce Castle entrance. (The journey from Giants Causeway to Dunluce Castle is 13mins if I picked them up at 4:15 I would arrive at 4:30. They choose not to tell you they spent 15mins taking photos from the outside of the castle before going to the entrance, by which time had closed? Anyway, I wish Karen and her sister every success in their future journeys together and once again (3rd time) I apologies for any inconvenience that occurred on the day. Ronnie
