Loved this trip. The driver was very good and told us loads of facts (and maybe a little bit of fiction) about the Causeway and Ireland in general. Really enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend.
Had an enjoyable afternoon tour to the Giants Causeway. Convenient start point alongside the Europa Hotel. Confortable coach with wi fi. Gary our driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a fun commentary about history, local sights along the way. Told us what to do and what not to do at the Giants Causeway which saved us £18 each. Had an hour at the site and then drove us back on time by City Hall. Definitely recommend the tour.
It's a good tour , the tour guide was funny I enjoyed myself and I was glad I did the half day over the full day.Just be prepared to walk a lot and the weather maybe chilli on the coast. The scenery is incredible!
Great trip and great guiding from Gary. Definitely worth the money.
We did the Half day tour,booked on the last minute and so glad we did.Our good was funny and informative.
This tour was fun, and our tour guide was great. The only disappointing part was having to rush back before all the protesting began in the streets of Belfast.
My friend and I really enjoyed this trip. Comfy bus to enjoy the beautiful views and very friendly driver (thanks Rory). The Causeway is amazing I was so excited to see it and walk on the stones. I really enjoyed seeing the countryside on the journey too. Rory has a lovely voice to listen too.
Tbh.. if this is your first experience,you will have nothing to compare it with. I know it was a 5 hour trip ...but we travelled on the motorway for at least over half of the journey. Previously on an another operator tour bus we traveled down the Antrim coast which was scenic and so beautiful. On this trip we spent 90 minutes at the the causeway. Not enough time to walk down to shore, toilet stop and back up the hill .it was good there was a bus to reduce time spent walking. It all felt very rushed. However I must commend our driver Rory who was very pleasant . We arrived back in Belfast just after 5.30 pm . Overall ...This experience could of been better as visiting the causeway is one of the great attractions . Also it wasn't cheap .
Excellent tour, best for those on a tight schedule, the half-day trip gave just enough time to see the Causeway and other sights without having to spend the whole day travelling. Driver was very jolly. We were made to feel very welcome on Saturday afternoon, great atmosphere, celebrating Dad's 80th birthday. Shuttle bus was helpful for those in our group who didn't fancy the steep walk back up, a lovely walk for in the sunshine. Definitely recommend.
Knowledgeable, polite and professional driver and great experience at a beautiful unesco heritage site.
