Itinerary
Pass by: The Glen's of Antrim which are situated on the beautiful North Coast,is an area of outstanding beauty, with breathtaking views and is a must see for anyone travelling to our wonderful country. As we make our way through the Glens you will have ample opportunity to take photos of the magnificent scenery and also view the many beautiful fishing villages along the way. So have your camera ready as you don't want to miss these breathing views.
Around 250 years ago fishermen erected Carrick-a-reed rope bridge for the purpose of fishing for Atlantic salmon. This was a flourishing industry at the time and in any one day there may have been catches of up to 350 fish. However by 2002 you would be lucky to catch the same amount in a whole season. It is no longer used by fishermen during the salmon season. The bridge spans just over 20 metres across and 30 meters ( over 100 feet) above sea level. This can be quite daunting for some visitors and on a few occasions there have been people who can't make it back across and have had to be taken by boat back to the mainland. So come and have a look for yourself.
The Giant's causeway is the only UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE in Northern Ireland. Often called the Eighth Wonder of the world, the Giant's causeway is a magical, mythical and mysterious place to visit. Made up of over 40 thousand polygonal columns these stones were created more than 60 million years ago. Was it volcanic activity or a dispute between two Giants?? Come and see for yourself and make your own mind up!
Granted a license to distill in 1608, Bushmills is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Take a guided tour around the working distillery and enjoy the smells and sounds or a tutored whiskey tasting tour of well stocked exclusive Bushmills whiskey brands. No matter what you decide you will not be disappointed. This is an ideal tour for Whiskey lovers or anyone who just enjoys hertitage, history and culture.
Situated on the dramatic coastal cliffs of North Antrim, Dunluce castle was first built by the McQuillan family around 1500. In the 17th century Dunluce was the seat of the earls of Antrim and saw the establishment of a small town in 1608. Visitors can learn the dramatic history of Dunluce with tales of banshee's and shipwrecks. The iconic ruins of Dunluce castle have a long and tumultuous history and these dramatic stories will intrigue everyone.
The Dark Hedges is a beautiful avenue of beech trees planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century and the idea was that they would impress anyone who visited their Georgian mansion ( Gracehill house). Due to the enormous worldwide success of the television series, 'The Game of Thrones' now almost two centuries later the iconic trees have become the most photographed natural phenomenon in Northern Ireland.

Traveler reviews
You’ll love every minute of this tour!
Wow! We had the best day and saw so many beautiful sites. Giants Causeway was a highlight for me. The countryside and coastal views were breathtaking and we had lots of stops to take photos. But the best part… we laughed along every step of the way with Michael and Joe!
Great experience and...
Great experience and Michael as very accommodating getting us to our sights. We had set up our own itinerary.
Giant's Causeway Private Coach.
Exceptional tour and guide!! The guide, Jimmie met us in the area where a bunch of guides were meeting people; he had separated from the group of guides enough that we saw our name placard clearly before we got close to him. His vehicle was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Jimmie had snacks and water for us; he knew where all the good clean bathrooms were along the route to the causeway. Jimmie was also knowledgeable about the sites along the route and answered our historical questions. We had taken this same tour in 2014 via a cruise excursion and this private tour was vastly superior to that tour. Since this was a private tour, we were able to stop at more sites and see more of Ireland's beauty. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to spend a great day!!! Larry, Karen, Pat and John
An incredible wonder
The Causeway was breathtaking unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, wish we more time to explore. Our guide was extremely informative
So much fun!
Michael is a 10 star guide. We had so much fun with him while touring. He was knowledgeable and informative. He took great care in getting us back to our ship on time. We would hire him again!
