Very good knowledgeable... - Very good knowledgeable driver who took us on the tour. The best thing is even though there was only 3 of us in the tour the tour was not cancelled which I have seen many reputed company do when no of travellers are very less. This last minute cancellations leave us in a very bad position. So kudos that trip was not cancelled. The driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a good commentry throughout the tour. Highly recommend.

An outstanding day of visiting the coast of Northern Ireland. - What a lovely day with our guide driving us up the coast to the Giant's Causeway. He gave us a great background of history of his country and the area. He was helpful and kind and prompt!

A tour that gives you a genuine slice of Northern Ireland - This was a 7.5 hour tour in Northern Ireland in the winter time, so it was cold, windy, sometimes wet and occasionally a bit wild. Wrap up warm with plenty of layers if you want to enjoy this tour at this time of year! However, with Stephen our driver and guide we saw the very best of the local scenery in a small group. Being a local he was very knowledgeable and managed to get us to places ahead of the competition allowing us to enjoy each location with fewer crowds. His commentary also steered a careful course between the partisan groups in this troubled island. The highlight obviously is the Giants Causeway, and perhaps the most disappointing thing is the Dark Hedges because the trees are past their best and it will be another hundred years before the replacements are of a similar stature. In between we loved the small fishing village of Carnlough. There is nothing special there, just a small harbour and a 7-11 store but you feel you are seeing the real Northern Ireland. In between a stop at Bushmills Distillery (no time for a tour but time to sample if you wish), and a brief photo stop at Dunluce Castle, plus a scenic coastal drive as the waves crashed against the shore.

Stephen was our guide and... - Stephen was our guide and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with good stories throughout. The layout of the tour was very well done (whiskey stop after the slippery causeway stones!) and although none of us were GOT fans there was still plenty to see on the additional stops.

Highly recommended day trip - Absolutely fantastic trip. Driver Paul was 10/10: he was considerate, knowledgeable, witty. At first stop opportunity to buy hot food, drinks and wide selection of lunch items. Great value for money.

Thoroughly recommend. - Excellent tour. The guide was extremely knowledgable about local history and landmarks, the Troubles, folklore/giants, and Game of Thrones - but nor did any of it become a lecture, overly political, or dull for those of us who haven't watched Game of Thrones. He kept it light and relevant. We brought lunch with us as there's no lunch stop, which was a good idea. We would have liked more time at Giants Causeway as it wasn't quite enough - despite this being the tour that we found gave the most time (see above point re not hving watched GoT, we could happily have missed those spots!) - we would have preferred a good walk along the causeway, which there wasn't time for. But it was an excellent tour, well targeted to our needs, brilliant guide.

Great Trip - Well paced. Guide was very friendly and helpful giving clear instructions at each stop. He had interesting and amusing information all along the trip. Not a large group which was better than tours with 60 or so people.
