A fun and worthwhile day - The tour was great, Gerry with a G was an excellent guide, very passionate about Ireland and the Irish. We learned a lot about Northern Ireland. The Dunluce was a nice restored ruin, even the teens enjoyed it. The giants causeway was even better once we were down and standing on the stones.

Giant's Causeway: A Must-See Destination! - The Giant's Causeway is an extraordinary place that shouldn't be missed. And at this time of year, it's pleasantly uncrowded, allowing you to fully appreciate its stunning landscape. The unique rock formations are truly remarkable and offer an unforgettable experience. We loved the sunny day trip to Giants Causeway. I bet you will like it too!

Giant's Causeway and Glendalough with Sean were perfect! - We did two tours (Giant's Causeway and Glendalough), both with the same driver Sean and both were absolutely lovely. Everything logistical from booking to the pickup was perfect. The tours were great and our driver Sean was fantastic. He gave lots of great information without it being too much. He was also very accomodating.

Celebrating a milestone birthday with friends - Dublin to the Giants Causeway - Brilliant day trip made even more enjoyable due to such a great guide, Michael, & driver Liam. Long and busy day but everything was perfectly timed with appropriate stops along the way. Would def recommend this trip to others.

It was breathtaking. - Booked this from the USA. BUS was on time and where it said it would be. An early morning boarding. Clean bus. Funny driver, but no nonsense guy.

The only thing they care about is the lunch :( - We started the tour with a visit to a castle. Unfortunately, the castle was closed and we could not enter. We then travelled to Giants Causeway, unfortunately the road had been hit with a rock slide so the only way to view the area was a 1.5 hour walk. But since PaddyWagon tour scheduled us to have lunch at some random pub we had only 1.5 hours at the Giants Causeway and another hour for lunch at a pub where I’m sure they got kick backs. We also were not refunded any money for the 7euro castle entry fee.

Giants Causeway Tour, Castle ward and Belfast - I give it 1 star because I can't give it less. The excursion left at 07.00 from the Molly Malone statue and from that moment it was a bad experience. The American driver and guide (luckily I don’t remember his name) was prejudiced when we told him we were Spanish. Sitting quietly in the back row of the bus were his first indications. He treated us contemptuous and as if we were fools all the way. It must be said that we were on orange alert for wind, so this tour should not have even left. In the beech woods he left us so that we would go through at one point and picked us up at another. There was a risk of damage from falling branches, difficulty walking through the air and rain falling at the time. All the time he insisted on the speed and punctuality that we should have (I don’t remember him addressing anyone else like that). This also happened with all Spanish-speaking people. He'd take out a cardboard watch and say "on time or back they do it in a taxi" The Giants Causeway was very dangerous. You couldn't move through the air and there were rocks of detachments along the way. I don't know how there was no mishap. He dropped us off at his brother-in-law's restaurant for lunch. The lousy food, the burger I ordered was meat no better than a commercial burger with ONE lettuce leaf, a glass of tap water and 14'95 pounds. There it is........ The castle area was closed, so there was no stop either here or on cliffs (too much air). The stop in Belfast after 2 hours of bus time was just 1 hour. It left us next to a shopping center so since we had to find some bathrooms we did not get out of there. I don’t understand that if there was a part of the tour that wasn’t done you would have to run all the time and there wasn’t some more time left to take a walk there. I don't remember a tour in my worst life. Bad organization. To the driver (who wouldn't shut up or underwater) I'd say I'd like to find him in another situation so he wouldn't have those fumes. In conclusion, nothing recommended by your driver, by the food, risked by the storm and by your organization. I leave a picture of myself in case you want to see me again......
