Awesome tour & guides - This was a super fun experience! Our guide was Dillon and our driver was Martin. Dillon kept the mood light and funny and was a very entertaining guide. He said he was new but I wouldn’t have guessed it! The drive was very nice as well. I was worried about sitting for so long but the stops were times very nicely and it never felt like we were sitting for too long and plenty of time to take a little nap on the first and last leg of the tour if you need! The one thing I didn’t quite realize is the time in Belfast and the city hall is a drop-off for a little over 1 1/2 hrs, not guided tour (I may have overlooked this in the booking). But it’s right in the middle of the city so there was plenty to do and photograph. The drive & guide were very personable and helpful with tips when going about the stops. This was my main tourist event while on holiday and I was very satisfied with it!

Nothing short of amazing! - Couldn't recommend this tour enough! Our tour guide, Quiggs, brought great humor but also a lot of historical context and trivia of the locations we visited or passed by which made the tour lively, interesting and insightful. And our driver, Eli, made sure we could have enough time to appreciate the sights and even did a slight detour for us to see an extra location all while staying on schedule. We ended up having an amazing time and Quiggs and Eli definitely helped in making this trip a memorable one.

Fun and busy day in Northern Ireland - I always like to see as many sights as possible when traveling, and this tour was perfect to see Northern Ireland from Dublin. We had the right amount of time at each stop and everyone in our group was careful to arrive back to the bus on time. Aaron was a great guide who provided ample information and personal insights on Northern Ireland. He always checked to make sure everyone was on the bus and gave us plenty of information but also provided us time to rest on the long journeys. Salah was an excellent and highly skilled driver who safely navigated us through some narrow streets and difficult turns, as well as being cheery and helpful. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanted to see Northern Ireland in a condensed amount of time.

Spectacular views! - The best part of trip was Giant's Causeway. Breathtaking views! Our guide Luke was personable and knowledgeable. We took 1-1/2 hrs at the Causeway, a short stop for pictures at Dunluce Castle, a stop to view the Dark Hedges and the property grounds, and a couple hrs to wander around the city of Belfast. I wish I would have researched the unique places to go there. But just walking around and checking out the shops there was nice too.

The best Northern Ireland tour - It was a wonderful experience. I had booked the tour last minute - the day before and I’m so glad I did. The bus was large and comfortable, it also had a small washroom on board! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and hilarious. Great way to explore without the hassle of self transport. Learned so many interesting facts.

Dont recommend - I dont recommend this. 90% of the time is just spent on the bus with very little time at the actual sites. The itinerary is just too ambitious to tackle in a day, especially with the terrible traffic in Belfast and Dublin. The seats on the bus are very uncomfortable and there is not much in terms of an actual guide to the sites - not good value for the cost.

BOOK WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY - The tour guide was a loud obnoxious racist unprofessional man child. He was controversial, childish and yelled at the guests.

Good tour but bad tour guide - I don’t usually write reviews, but I will this time because I do not want others to experience the same treatment as we did. We were on the tour from Dublin to Dunluce Castle, Giant’s Causeway, Dark Hedges & Belfast tour on 8/14/24 with Finn McCools Tours. The tour was adequately organized, but I would give a zero star review to our tour guide Harry. Here’s what happened: My two kids and I got onto the bus and realized all seats were taken except the four in the front row with the reserved signs on the seats. So I went to ask the tour guide Harry if we could sit there. He immediately yelled loudly at us in front of the whole bus of people “NO you can’t sit there. read the sign. That’s what reserved means. You need to pay for those seats.” I told him there wasn’t other seats left in the back. He then said angrily “I couldn't believe they over filled the bus again!” Behind us in line, there were two more passengers — two young women with lighter skin color than us. When they came on to the bus. Harry told them nicely to sit down on two of the four reserved seats. He then walked to the back of the bus to verify if there was really no seat left while leaving me and my two kids still standing in the front. He then came back and reluctantly told us to seat on the remaining two reserved seats. A gentleman on the second row kindly showed an empty seat next to him. The bus was fully filled. I was shocked and in disbelief of what just happened. Throughout the day, Harry seemed disengaged and didn’t seem to care much when sharing about the history and background behind the different stops, or really care about the visitors on his tour, for that matter. He also never apologized for his aggressive yelling/talking down to us. I couldn't believe that such a popular tour, where people come from all different parts of the world and backgrounds, could be led by such insensitive, uncaring, and unprofessional person.

Could not wait to get off - Quiggs was our tour guide and he was awful, he had corny jokes, a very dark humor which wasent funny, even some people called him out on it. If your from Scotland he has bad words for you, which I took offensive because my grandma is from Scotland and have family from there still. Would not stop talking the whole time, some of us just needed to breath a little. The guy we had from paddywagan the day before was awesome, this guy was torture.
