A Great Full Day - Getting to the natural wonders along the coast (and those on route) in great comfort and with an accommodating local driver.
We also got to locations that coaches can not access.
More expensive than a shared coach tour but well worth the premium.

Great service! - Michael was a great driver! It was rainy on and off, but he consistently opened the doors for us, picked us up right in front of the entrance, and made us feel like top priority all day. He was flexible with the itinerary, and was very communicative. We loved our day!

Belfast private tour - It was a wonderful tour. John Paul allowed us to tweak the tour to include both the coastal sites including the Dark Hedges, Giant Causeway, Dunluce castle, rope bridge viewpoint, several harbors with a stop at the Bushmill distillery while doing a quick tour of the political murals and Peace wall. They were very accommodating letting us start at noon after a flight arrival and gracious with delays and still allowing us a full 8 hours to see as much as possible. John was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information at each stop. We had a spacious Mercedes van for our family of 5. Would highly recommend John Paul for a great tour.

A day to remember - We booked this tour to do with family visiting from Australia and we had a wonderful day! Starting with a leisurely drive along the beautiful coast road we stopped at the rope bridge, the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and finished up with a whiskey tasting at Bushmills. There was plenty of time at each stop to explore and take photos. Our driver JP was knowledgeable, friendly and couldn’t have been nicer. When we needed to change the day of our tour, Michael was very accommodating. This is an all around excellent service. Highly recommended!!

The best of Northern Ireland in one Day - John was so friendly and hospitable for our family of four including two teen girls. He made it so interesting by showing us the best sights of the area but also tie in sights that would cater to everyone own interests in our party. Everyone had a blast! Highly recommend.

Viewing Scenery of Ireland at Its Best - Our driver shared the stories and facts of Ireland. He took us to each location in a very considerate way being sure of our comfort and letting us as a family judge our adventures. He was a terrific host!

Perfect option - Michael was a wonderful guide and driver. He was able to show us the most wonderful sites in the limited amount of time that we had . I would highly recommend this option if you are on a cruise ship and need to be back before it sails without you.
Pictures and wonderful memories the extraordinarily beautiful Irish coast.

I Definitely would not recommend this tour please see my review! - I would not recommend. I payed $800.00 for two people, it definitely was not worth it! A tour guide that did not know his own itinerary and wanted to change it so that he could get us back to Belfast as soon as possible. It felt very rushed. I had originally booked the private tour for 8 to 9 hours including tickets to a few of the stops. I have traveled all over the world and this by far was the worst private tour. I am a flexible traveler so it surprised me it was this bad. The tour guide Michael was late arriving but I can overlooked that as I know things can happen. However, once the tour started he wasn’t sure if we were four hours or eight hours, again I can overlook that, not a big deal and I said I booked for an all day tour. The first stop was dark hedges and proceeded to go to Bush Mills distillery which the tour included tickets. He dropped us off to take pictures and told us to go to the gift store and then asked me if I liked whiskey and I said yes and he said OK good then go get yourself a drink! When we returned to the van I spoke up and stated this included a tour with tickets to the distillery tour. He was very back-and-forth in his reasonings and told me that I needed to purchase tickets before the tour started and I needed to talk to Emily. I told Michael that I have no idea who Emily is and have never spoke to an Emily when booking this tour. I then showed him the entire itinerary I booked with the company and he seemed annoyed. His reactions were disappointing and ruined the whole day, but my spouse and I decided to make the best of it. I had originally booked us for five people which included some of my family and I am so glad that it just ended up being myself and my partner as it was a very disappointing tour and I saved myself some embarrassment from my family.
He then said he wanted to save some time and dropped us off for lunch and when he picked us up back from lunch he said do guys want to do the Bushmill distillery tour or not or we could just go to the Giants Causeway!?? What! We wanted to do the distillery tour when we were there the first time!
It was very confusing, he now had tickets to take us and so we just decided to go with the flow and he now drove back to the BushMills distillery and we did the 130 tour.
We then got to the Giants Causeway, again no tickets were provided so we just did the walk to the causeway and back, which I found out later he could’ve actually driven us down to the site instead of us taking a 40 minute walk. That day it was windy and rainy and I have knee problems, the drop off and pick up at the actual causeway would’ve been helpful.
It seemed like this was his way of wasting time so we didn’t have the opportunity to stop at any other sites and just drove us back to Belfast.
After the Giants Causeway he proceeded to tell us he would take us back to Belfast as our tour ended at six when in actuality he didn’t pick us up until close to 1015 and the tour I booked was for 8 to 9 hours. We still had time to do one of the 3 to 4 stops that he didn’t take us to but I wanted to just get back to Belfast to my hotel room and forget about this day!
We did not stop at the Ballintoy Harbor or the rope bridge or the Cerrikus castle.
I would not recommend this tour company as I just checked their website and they have now changed their itinerary to exclude any entrance fees and they’ve taken a few of the stops off of their itinerary.
Not a reputable company in my eyes!
I would not recommend this tour at all!
