Excellent Tour with Dave - We enjoyed a fantastic tour with our coach driver Dave. He greeted us with open arms in Belfast, so the pick up was very quick and easy. We then set off on our coach journey, accompanied by Dave's excellent commentary the whole way with his sense of humour and knowledge. One of our favourite parts was waving to his grandma as we passed through a village. We started at a castle, where my boyfriend and brother got plastic swords from the coach to do a battle reenactment within the grounds. We then travelled to a view point, admiring beautiful countryside along the way as well as some Game of Thrones filming locations. We stopped at the Dark Hedges which were amazing then another castle where I joined in with the dressing up, donning a cape and sword. Our final stop was of course the Giants Causeway which was brilliant. The whole tour ran really efficiently and we had a fantastic day out. I'd recommend bringing a packed lunch. There are some opportunities to buy snacks or a buffet lunch (£16 a head) but bringing a sandwich is a good idea I think. I would say the only things that I'd change about the tour, there were 2 hidden costs to get entrance into the castle. This was discounted but still £4.50 for each. I'd rather just pay a bit more initially and have it included so it wasn't an extra cost. Would have also been great to go to Bushmills Whiskey Distillery but I understand you can't have everything!

Great trip to see a lot. - This was a fun tour. You do a lot so it may feel like you aren't getting a lot of time at all the places but you are seeing so much and our tour guide Stuart was funny and informative. The lunch at the hedges hotel is good and the dark hedges aren't that far from the giants causeway. Overall it's a good day out and you get to see alot. Definitely good value for money as they also get you discounts at the castles and the lunch as part of the tour.

Great Giants Causeway Tour - It is a great choice to explore the Antrim coast with lots of stops to visit the castles and other attractions The lunch stop is well planned and the food was good value and plentiful Our driver Dave was brilliant. Knowledgeable and humorous and a real character (as well as being a great host and driver) He pointed out all the points of interest as we went, answering all questions and even providing props for photos

Day trip out of Belfast - Excellent tour. Whilst my partner isn’t a fan of long bus rides, we stopped frequently, and had good opportunities to explore and take photos. The scenic views were breathtaking- even in winter on a rainy/snowy day. Our driver (Tommy I think?) was excellent. Very knowledgeable, personable and gave clear times to be back. Really enjoyed this day trip.

Great day - Central Belfast pickup and dropoff, knowledgeable driver/tour guide, gorgeous scenery, and the Giants Causeway was amazing. Dress for rain, and in November, for cold, this is Ireland and the tour can't control the weather

Dave you definitely added the cherry on top for my daughter and I. - The whole Tour from start to finish was everything and more than what I expected. Myself and my daughter had the most amazing experience with the best bus driver Dave, he really knows the history of each place we visited and had the best sense of humour, if it weren’t for Dave I don’t think we would have enjoyed the journey that much 😊.

Great to be driven around but don't rely on a good guide - Albeit a good way of getting around Antrim and seeing the hotspots without having to drive yourself. However the guide, Louie wasn't that knowledgeable about all things we visited ala he neevr explained the geological reaspn for Giants Causeway formation but relied on the old myth. At times he also mentioned politics (contentious issue in the north) in a frivolous manner. It seemed he relied heavily on the driver Catherine (who drove well) to provide supplementary information. He also made several comments about other road users including a hearse containing a large coffin, it was not funny and franky disrespectful. The tour itself mentions lunch is not included but then we did take a break for it in a remote hotel where the food can be only described as gelatinous stew. Louie insisted we use his discount QR code stickers - I assume he got kickbacks when we used this.
