Amazing tour

5.00Would highly recommend this tour. The driver was really knowledgable and made the coach journey fly by. I saw a few reviews saying to do the full day tour as you don’t get enough time at Giants Causeway however, we got 1 hr 20 mins which was plenty of time to walk down and spend a bit of time taking it all in.
Trip itself was great...

5.00Trip itself was great with some interesting history. Giants Causeway itself was a little underwhelming, nice enough scenery but nothing spectacular. Interesting stone formation but not as grand as we were expecting.
Great tour guide/driver...

4.00Great tour guide/driver Roy. He was jovial/funny and pointed out things of interest along the way. I thought the tour included the rope bridge and Roy did mention it but we/I never got to see it. That’s the only reason for 4 vs. 5 stars.
Perfect Weather and Scenery

5.00This was an excellent morning tour. We got lucky with the weather, so the scenery was spectacular. It was definitely worth the price of admission.
A good trip you don't have much time.

5.00If you're fortunate enough to get Gary for your driver and tour guide then you're in for a jolly time. His information and sense of humour made this trip so much more enjoyable. Gary gave us the tip that when going into the visiting centre they will charge you to go down to see the causeway, when in actual fact it's free to visit if you walk through the short tunnel. The cost of our trip is mainly for the transport there and back and obviously for the knowledge of the driver.
Highly recommend

5.00Our driver, Gary was super pleasant, very informative on all sites coming in going for this trip. The Giants Causeway was almost otherworldly with its rock formations, and the area here at the edge of the sea was tremendously beautiful. I would recommend this trip to anyone, but I would go in the morning as we did because as we were leaving. It became quite busy.
A good half day trip worth a go?

4.00A very worth while trip with a knowledgeable driver. Nice scenery too. £18 to enter the experience is a bit much save your money and have a drink in the Causeway Hotel.
Morning time is the best...
