Amazing once in a lifetime visit - The tour guide was very informative and had some great stories on the travel to each location. They were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the location and we were given plenty of time to look around. Would highly recommend for whiskey lovers and scenic explorers

Book it; you won't regret it! - We had an excellent time with Finn McCool tours! My parents actually cannot stop talking about it. They had no idea what to expect of the Giant's causeway, and were completely blown away. We also received a message the day before that the company was no longer working with Bushmill's; instead, they would take us to Titanic Distilleries. At first, this was a disappointment, but then we were blown away at Titanic Distilleries -- between the setting, the tour guide (Dominique), and, of course, the whisky. All four of us absolutely recommend doing this tour -- thank you Noel, Vedrun, Patrick, and Dominique for an excellent day out.

Enjoyable - The pick up point was quite confusing as it said to meet outside Topshop but Topshop is gone. The meeting place is a city bus stop and no one from the tour company is there until the bus pulls up right at the meeting time. The tour stops are nice and Quig was very knowledgeable about the history. I wish we had been told that there was a bus to take you down to the causeway as it is a very steep walk. I’m not sure how much it costs because we didn’t realize it was an option until it was too late. Also, be prepared if you get motion sick. Because the trip starts in Dublin and then picks up in Belfast, most of the seats were full and we ended up in the rear of the bus. There are many winding roads so I was miserable for most of the tour. Not the fault of the tour, but I really wish I had taken some anti nausea medicine. The tour drives you through much of the beautiful countryside. It is a lot of riding and a lot of walking. Bring a lunch. The stops are quick and you won’t have time to order in a restaurant. We enjoyed the distillery tour and tasting.

aight - this tour was okay, however a some of the stops were just to see a sight from a far distance and i have no idea why anyone would want that - i would prefer fewer sights but more time/closer view to interact and really BE there. Also the tour guide had some good insights and stories, but talked most of the time hindering the ability to talk to my seat mate. Also, nearer the end he mainly talked about his political and environmental views which seemed a bit soap boxy to me. Otherwise it was a fairly good trip and the giants causeway was nice, and the titanic museum was very interesting!

Advertised Bushmills but did not tell us we were not going there. - Your guide (Quiggst) was very knowledgable and personable. Great to see Giants Causeway, a beautiful place! We booked this tour because it advertised Bushmills Distillery (which it still does), but they had no intention on taking us there. They did not notify us of the change, was as we passed through Bushmills town did we realize we were not stopping. They brought instead to a brand new whiskey distillery in downtown Belfast ( which is great but we had already been there). Also, the whole tour felt rushed as we were picked up on Belfast but the tour started in Dublin so they had to rush through every stop. We only had and hour and a half at the Giants Causeway. Also bring a lunch as they do not stop or give you time for it. Your tour ticket does NOT include admission to the visitor center at the Causeway where lunch options are available to purchase. There are better options to see the North Coast for this price.
