Great Experience All Around - It is cliche to say, but the views were amazing. The castles, the water, the rocks - we were very lucky with our weather, it wasn’t all rain, but even if it had been, it still would have been worth it! Our guide, Lisa, was very knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. Robert was an excellent driver; you would barely know you were on the winding, narrow roads of Ireland!

Great story telling by Louis - Excellent experience with the right amount of timing per stop. Louis and Matt are a great pair. Louis is an engaging story teller who will guide you through the history of the areas. You will have fun and be able to relax, but also get informed. It is well worth the money.

Amazing - Probably the Giants Causeway, the view was incredible. It started being pretty foggy and cloudy (Ireland weather) but when we got the Causeway the weather opened up and and a great view all around.

Excellent value and Kevin was the best guide! - This was much better than I thought it would be. We left central Belfast at 9 am and returned just after 6 pm so a full day for just £28. Kevin the driver was exceptional - so full of local knowledge, history and background at every stop - of which there were plenty. Would recommend you take your own lunch and wear hiking boots or trainers for the Giant’s Causeway. Right hand side of the bus has the best coastal views in the morning.
