Stunning scenery - Our guide was hilarious and so generously stopped the bus so that I could run and retrieve my phone from the visitor center at the Causeway.
My only complaint is that we couldn’t go down to the rope bridge.
The Dark Hedges were amazing and beautiful.

Good trip! - Only the giant causeway deserve the trip. The bus was clean and the guide/driver a nice person. I did with my daughters 2 and 4 years.

If you like nature and walking do not miss this trip - The Causeway of Giant Stunning Views. It is worth going first thing and doing the blue and red tour. Audio Guide is entertaining. Better go with Reservation.
The suspension bridge is impressive. If you have vertigo better not try. Better go with Reservation.
Carrickfergus Castle has spectacular views and is worth taking the full tour.
For Dark Hedges it is better to stay at the hotel and take advantage when there are not many people. If you go in the summer the trees are at their greatest smelt. In winter they have no leaves.
All exhibitions are best done first or last minute which is when there are fewer people and the light gives different shades.

Fantastic tour to start our trip - This was our first of five tours on our honeymoon working our way along the coast of Ireland. We spent our first day in Belfast taking taxis to Castlewellen to walk the peace maze and then over to Newcastle for an afternoon in tollymore Forest. It was a magical day and doing this tour following that definitely set the stage for our trip.
Lindsey did a great job of sharing history and information about things as we passed them.
If you are in Northern Ireland, the Giants causeway is something you just can't miss. It is definitely something to marvel at.

Nice causeway tour. Need better communication if tour has changes. - 1/2 tour was missed because the change of pickup location was not sent to us. So disappointed. We took cab to meetup. I had checked email night before and the morning of and nothing directly a change to meet up place. By chance we ran across a different tour driver who said our tour added ship pick up. Such a bummer.

You get what you pay for - Overall a disappointing tour. Driver was great but. I time to go into the castle, we saw the rope bridge from a good mile away and there was no tour of either the hedges or the Causeway. It was self guided. The bus was totally loaded, couldn’t find the pick up area so ended up walking for miles to the tour office. But we didn’t pay much and you get what you pay for

Bus driver excellent - Love the sights but Castle was closed that day as was the Rope Bridge. Few places to eat if you have kids.

Good tour - no aircon - The tour itself was really good and the bus driver was great had loads of facts and was quite funny. The stops were good and there was always plenty of time to look around.
The downside and things to consider when you book - the toilets on the bus are out of order so after the first stop there is around a 2 hour wait till your at the lunch spot for the next toilet facility, this was unfortunate as I spend a good hour very uncomfortable needing to pee. But after the lunch stop the toilet facilities are more frequent.
And the last thing is the air con on the bus doesn’t seem to work, so just prepare yourself if you are going on a sunny day the coach got BOILING. On the return journey there was an older couple next to us the male was trying to fan here down and she got quite unwell.
Overall the tour is very good but certain factors ruined it for me.

LATE BUS SO NO LUNCH - The Causeway was quite magnificent. Once we finally got there. The coach arrived two people got on and it drove off. To be promised the next one is coming. 50 mins later it arrived.
Some rubbish about having to change the bus……… so because THEY were late with the coach we missed a scheduled stop. So they could finish on time.
Terrible. The whole journey felt rushed.

Ok day - The bus was 1hr late. No explanation given. Due to lateness we missed a lunch stop. And due to supposed excessive traffic we were not able to be dropped off at start location. Driver was personable and did point out areas of interest along the trip.
