We were also priviledge in seeing the Forest where they filmed the Games of Thrones and had an extra view of seeing thousand of cow. s marching on the hill. Yay for Jay from the Jamaican Group of 4 !!!!

Karl deserves a raise! Wonderful tour!

I wrote this over on TripAdvisor, too. This was a perfectly timed and informative tour. Our guide and driver Karl was entertaining and polite every moment. The history lessons he imparted on us helped to increase my appreciation for Northern Ireland. I never felt rushed and I felt like I was able absorb all that that giants causeway had to offer.

Karl was the brightest point on this extraordinary tour!

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Giants Causeway. The meetup point was easy walking distance to our hotel and the tour host had us on our coach in no time. Our driver Karl was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. You could tell he knew what he was talking about and gave quite the history lesson! Every stop was timed perfectly. In addition to the causeway, we saw a few castles, some highlights from Game of Thrones, and the Bushmills Distillery. It was a long day, but well worth it. The coach was clean and comfortable and remarkably smooth. Would book again !
