Beautiful countryside and fantastic tour guide ! - This is a fabulous tour. The countryside is beautiful with lots of rolling hills , sheep and cows. We had sufficient enough time to hike to the Giants Causeway expend time taking photos. The tour guide was also the bus driver and he did a fantastic job providing information about the city of Belfast . We would recommend this tour to everyone! The guide was a blessing! It was a very relaxing experience.

Great excursion! - Stephan our van driver was outstanding. We learned so much from his narration throughout the tour. Tour was timed perfectly to get us to sites before the large busses would arrive. Lunch was very good at a nice restaurant with a beautiful view. Excursion is well worth the money. Highly recommend.
