Great tour and learned loads

Great tour, we had two drivers as we hopped off for titanic. Both were super friendly and informative. Don dealt with a lot of heavy history with great sensitivity. Well worth doing. Stopping at peace wall was very meaningful. Huge thanks , great trip and highly recommended for all the family.

Tour was cancelled

We booked a Non hop on off tour from the Cruise Terminal to the giants causeway with a tour of Belfast City. We were only notified 2 days beforehand that not enough people had booked to make the tour viable. The refund was supposed to take 3-5 days but I chased the refund and did eventually receive it 3 weeks later but would have been £60 out of pocket if I had not checked and chased it up. Complete waste of time and too little notice to arrange something else on our port day.

Hop off and Hop on

Bus is clean and comfortable. The bus driver/guide gave us the history of the areas surrounding the city. Great tour on a reasonable price..

Knowledgeable

Love that it’s “live” guides! They were so informative, really felt I got my money’s worth! Sit upstairs and outside so you can get the best pictures.
