5.00Brian was our driver/guide as well as Lisa! We really enjoyed them both and would highly recommend them for your tour. Brian was funny and very knowledgeable. especially in Belfast sharing his own personal experiences. Lisa was so sweet and friendly! Our group had a member who hurt themselves from tripping over a big rock (mid tour) and needed to get stitches. Brian and Lisa were really understanding and professional, they even stopped at the hospital in Belfast for us to check how long the ER wait time was incase that could be an option for us. Truly great people.
Breath taking view of Giant’s causeway

5.00Such an incredible tour of the Giant’s causeway! Delaney was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable from the history of Giant’s causeway to Belfast! Saleh was an impressive bus driver (especially showing off on sharp turns)! This tour was definitely worth seeing!
An unforgettable trip

5.00Our tour guide Quiggs was just wonderful – incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. We learnt a lot of about the Irish culture and history which he presented in a fun and engaging way. We were travelling with a 4 year old kid and he was very helpful. A big thank you to Quiggs for being the best guide making our day unforgettable and to our driver Jose for a safe trip!!

5.00Toured with Jared and Anthony. Really informative about lots of aspects of Northern Ireland in a fun way. Saw the Causeway and the dark hedges and GOT sites along the way :)) Any other time would have liked to spend more time at the main sites and also get souvenirs, but the compact tour suited me really well this time, ending by 4pm so I could catch an evening flight.
Great day in Belfast

5.00Lived this trip - Quig was a brilliant guide, very funny and his knowledge of irelands history was extremely impressive. The Giants Causeway was the highlight for me. I had been looking forward to the Titanic museum but I found it underwhelming when I got there with almost no original artefacts (not the tour company’s fault!) Constructive feedback - maybe more opportunity to stop and get food / drink and use the toilet would have been helpful as it’s a long day. Maybe change the dark hedges to a cafe stop 🤣 Great day though, thoroughly enjoyed it and would book with the same company again
