Great experience with a baby

Can’t rate our driver highly enough for accommodating us with a 16 week old baby. It was tricky at times but we stopped off at lots of locations. Our driver was very knowledgeable with facts and history of locations. The bus was PACKED solid though so definitely bring a fan to keep cool!

We had a fantastic trip...

We had a fantastic trip around Northern Ireland and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the trip was made even better by our wonderful driver. He was friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting facts and stories along the way. You could really tell how passionate he was about Northern Ireland and its history. He made the whole experience fun, interesting and truly memorable. We definitely recommend this experience.

Good for a speed run of the north east coast

Great value for seeing the north east belfast. You don't get too long in each place but well worth it for a full days trip

A good day out giving a taste of Northern Ireland coast

A very good day out from (8:30 till 6:00) and Ray was an excellent guide with a lot of information and amusing anecdotes. The main feature of the tour was the Giant's Causeway. The trip was paced very well with plenty of stops for photos and bathroom breaks. The lunch stop was at a pub called the Fullerton Arms just before you get to the Giant's Causeway and you can put in an order with the driver if you want to eat lunch in the pub (menu is sent round the coach so you can decide what you want) or there is an outside area with tables where you can eat a packed lunch if you prefer (presume there must be a room inside if weather is bad). The discount price of £24.50 (down from normal price of £35) was very good value for money.
