- Antrim Coast Road - The journey will take us along the stunning Antrim coast road, with the Irish Sea on the right and the Glens of Antrim on the left of the coach.

- Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - A stop at Portaneevy View Point will offer a distant view of the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Although the National Trust currently lacks staff to accommodate groups, this is an excellent opportunity to capture photos of the rope bridge.
- The Dark Hedges - Known as the Kingsroad in the Game of Thrones HBO series, the Dark Hedges offer a chance to walk among the trees made famous by the show, followed by a lunch break at a traditional pub (costs not included).
- Bushmills Distillery - A visit to the Bushmills Distillery will last 30 minutes, allowing for the purchase of a bottle or a taste of the world-renowned Irish whiskey at its birthplace.
- Giant’s Causeway - The day’s highlight is a stop at the Giant’s Causeway itself, where visitors can walk across the stones. The Visitor Centre price is not included.
- Dunluce Castle - Finally, there will be an opportunity to see the renowned Dunluce Castle, perched atop a cliff with waves crashing below. It is also a Game of Thrones location and was originally home to the MacDonnell Clan.

Outstanding guides!! - We had an incredible experience hiking to the Cliffs of Moher with Philip and Connor! From start to finish, their knowledge, friendliness, and passion for the area made the hike truly unforgettable. They guided us safely through the trail while sharing fascinating insights about the local landscape, wildlife, and history. Both Philip and Connor struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making everyone feel comfortable and engaged. The views from the cliffs were breathtaking, and having such enthusiastic guides made the adventure even more special. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Cliffs of Moher with experts who genuinely care about your experience.

Excellent price - Excellent value for the price.
Lunch stop was ok, but a bit pricey
Too long sitting on the bus and windows could have been cleaner in order to see better

Good experience of coastal Northern Ireland - Good driver but needs to make sure you can hear him. A chatty non english speaking group at rear of bus made it difficult to hear some commentary.
Giants Causeway stop good.
Need to take into account those not needing a large cooked lunch at midday stop.

Authentic landscape! - A UNESCO-listed site that does not disappoint.
The landscape: A unique geological formation on the waterfront. One can walk on the columns, which makes the tour very interactive.
The atmosphere: Very wild, with the sound of waves crashing on rock prisms.
Local Council Guide: Arrive early or late in the day to avoid tourist buses and enjoy the grazing light that highlights the geometry of the stones.

A little disappointing - This was worth it for the beautiful scenery and the Giant's causeway itself. However, for the rest of the tour there was little commentary and the audio system was bad so you couldn't really hear it anyway.
I also felt that the itinery was misleading as the rope bridge stop was miles away and you could barely see it. There was very little time at Bushmills, really only time for the toilet and gift shop. The buffet lunch at the Dark Hedges was also heavily promoted but was very mediocre and expensive. I was also surprised that the 'luxury' coach didn't have a toilet. Not ideal for an all day trip, although there were a few toilet stops.

Season matters for dark... - Season matters for dark hedges when the trees are bare, it’s underwhelming, and apparently the tour guide can make changes. We never made it to one of the attractions that was listed, which was the bridge. Instead, we stopped on the roadside by a Castle.

Very little narration - more bus service than tour - Our trip was delivered by Allens Tours.
This was about 80% bus service and 20% tour. There was a couple of minutes of narration before each stop and that was it. Lots of time (hours!) driving without any narration, background or history, or even just saying what we were driving past. Not even any local music on the bus. Huge missed opportunity.
The rope bridge is a joke. For sure it is open as we saw many people down there walking across it. Yes, we could see it from an overlook, but I'd hardly list it as a highlight.
The Giants Causeway is awesome, but either find another tour company or get up there differently.
