Fantastic Bus Tour! - Had an absolutely phenomenal time on this tour! The bus driver Mustfa was excellent and very impressive on the narrow country roads, and our guide Ruan was so funny, kind, fun, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. Every stop was fantastic, and we always had just the right amount of time to hit all the stops. HIGHLY recommend!!!

An iconic day filled with history and legends - Our tour guide was incredible! It was a long ride but the tour guide did such an amazing job sharing tales, personal stories, jokes and the history of the area. It made time fly by! The most memorable is the Giants Causeway. Absolutely stunning views. Another favorite was tasting whiskey in a shipyard where the titanic was built! How cool!

Excellent time, highly recommended - Tour guide and driver were Aaron and Mr D. Tour was excellent, cannot rate Aaron’s knowledge and passion highly enough. Driving was relaxing and smooth especially around some tricky turns. Highlight was the distillery which I would recommend a repeat visit both now and in later years to see what they are producing.

Interesting tour to some breathtaking views - We had a lovely trip with Kieran (and Anthony)! Kieran told us many interesting things about Ireland and its history. The scenery was beautiful and impressive- we had a blast. I would recommend going to the Titanic Distillery, the relatively young company does an interesting tour and their spirit is quite tasty! Thank you for this experience! Ps. My boyfriend wants me to mention Mary. Kieran will understand😉

Fantastic day trip to Giants Causeway - The guide was really lovely and friendly and gave clear instructions on times and meeting places to be back on the coach at all of the locations. The tour is also fantastic for crossing off several of the popular tourist spots around Belfast and the surrounding area in one day.

Giant’s Causeway and Titanic Distillery - We started our tour in Belfast not Dublin. The tour guide Noel and bus driver Fred were excellent! Fred was a careful and mindful driver allowing the tour participants to relax and listen to Noel. Noel pointed out many interesting sights along the way and told us many related fables and wives tales. He also shared common Irish sayings which were much appreciated! The only drawback to the tour was the description of the tour indicated we were going to the Bushmills Distillery located in Bushmills. Instead we were taken to the Titanic distillery located in Belfast. We had just been to the Titanic Distillery the day before but thankfully not on a tour. Giant’s Causeway and the sights along the way were stunning. We enjoyed a bowl of delicious carrot and coriander soup at the local pub before heading back to Belfast. Johnny, the tour guide at the distillery, provided a detailed and engaging explanation of the distillery history and operations. He also used some of the common terms shared by Noel while on the bus.

Northern Ireland Good Times! - We had a great time on our tour with Delaney (Guide) and Saleh (Driver). Delaney was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and folklore of Northern Ireland. Both Delaney and Saleh treated us well and ensured our tour was excellent.

Quiggs, an Irish guide, was awesome. - A guide named Quiggs and a driver named Thomas were in charge this time. My guide told me that Irish is my first language, and he taught me a lot about Ireland. Crucially, the first half of the tour, Dunluce Castle and the Giant's Causeway, unfortunately, were not weather friendly and it was very cold in the light rain. Admission to the Giant's Causeway visitor centre is not included in the price. (It was 11GBP) It was raining and very cold, so I couldn't bring myself to walk, so there was a corner promenade, but I took a shuttle bus from the visitor center. (2GBP with return ticket) Both accepted credit cards. (According to the guide, only Amex should be careful.) Dark Hedges and Belfast were sunny in the second half. In Belfast we toured and tasted the Titanic distillery. I bought it as a souvenir with my favorite smoky type.
