Belfast

It was a great way to see Belfast, the driver/ guide was very knowledgeable and funny. I would recommend this to everyone.

I do understand we could...

I do understand we could have grabbed earphones but it should have been said that there wasn’t a live tour guide so I knew to grab them as the sound was very hard to hear on top of the bus.

Disappointed 😞😞😞😞

We were expecting earphones to listen to the commentary or pre recorded commentary. This was not the case and the audio from the bus driver which was undoubtedly excellent was very difficult to hear. We lost at least half of the information due to poor volume and clear auduorty. So disappointed 😞

Great way to see Belfast

This was a good way to learn about Belfast. It would have been nicer if they had provided a headset to listen to the driver/guide since he had an accent and it was hard to tell exactly what he was saying.
