Great Way to See Northern Ireland! - We had a great guide and driver! Not only did we get to see several historically significant sites in one day, but we were provided a fantastic overview of each tour stop (including myths and legends). This is a great way to experience Northern Ireland if you have a tight schedule.

Much walking at the Causeway, Titanic Museum brilliant - Giant's Causeway was a spectacular sight. Make sure you bring rain gear! A long walk out and back but there are buses (1 GBP each way). Titanic Museum was extremely well done and very interesting. We especially loved the last sections related to the Ballard expeditions to find and film the wreckage on the bottom. My only minor complaint on the Viator tour was being dropped off at a different place than the pick-up (I'm sure it disclosed this upfront but we missed it) and the directions our guide gave to return were awful - had to ask a friendly pedestrian and would say Belfast natives are very helpful.

Belfast day trip - Trip is run by Finn McCool tours, Our driver was Tomas and guide Phil. Arrived on time. Coach was comfortable. Phil gave us plenty of history and information. Fantastic guide good laugh, friendly very clear to hear. We got some Irish tunes too. Stunning views of the country side. Plenty of time at the Giants causeway. The nook pub at the Causeway is lovely, went in for a drink but was quite packed, hard to get served. But there is also the visitor centre or the hotel. Seen a few lovely villages on the way to the Dark Hedges (more the Game of thrones fans). The Titanic Museum was fantastic, due to it being the Easter hols it was fairly busy and maybe a bit rushed. A bit more time. Large queue to get on some ride. Although one way system would have liked a map of the museum. Also would have liked to get one of the audio headsets. But still very interesting. On the whole a good day out well organised and worth the money, shout out to Phil and Tomas 👏

Good tour but packed bus and innacurate Meeting Point - The sights were great but some inaccurate info in the description. This tour starts in Dublin and by the time we got to get on the bus in Belfast there were only scattered single seats left and no way for a couple to sit together.
The meeting point spot description in the directions is very wrong. The address is not at 31 Chichester St., but in front of the building at 70 Chichester St, which is across the street. The instructions say that it is outside the entrance to the Top Shop, which has not been there for a few years, although it is a short way down the street across from the Garrick Bar. If it had not been for a gentlemen at the desk inside 31-35 Chichester St., who directed us across the street (as he has been doing for a long time) to the exact pick up spot, we would not have found it, as there is no sign. FIX your instructions.

Giants Causeway and Titantic tour - Not the ideal start to the day, the meeting point on the app and emails said ‘outside Topshop’ which has been closed for over two years so left many waiting asking whether it was the right place, coupled with the bus being 10 minutes late after being warned of we were late then it would go without us. A pleasant driver and guide who gave out a clear agenda with times and meeting points. A bit underwhelmed by the lack of local history and information in between the meeting points, it felt a bit like Flora was reading from a script and we learned nothing that we couldn’t have if travelling car. We had a nice day and Causeway is fantastic, disappointed entry to the visitors centre wasn’t included as it indicated that no extra charges to attractions when we booked, probably explained why we were dropped off just before the car park and not inside. The Titantic experience was also worth the trip. In hindsight I would have hired a car and spent more time stopping at other costal areas on the way to Causeway and visited the Titantic experience on a different day and 90 minutes is tight to enjoy both.
