Looked at various companies but this one stood out by far. The other reviews said it all. Absolutely brilliant even though it rained and was misty! Stephen was fantastic. A wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. Kept our spirits up in the bad weather. The small coach is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were able to zip in front of other larger coaches and get to locations first. If you want to do this trip and would highly recommend that you do, don’t bother looking anywhere else.
Paul was a fantastic tour guide, informative, friendly and a good crack. The length of time was just right at each stop
A very and even too busy day. Too many buses compared to the quality of the visits. The time reserved for the Giant's Causeway is far too short, it should be at least 2 hours and 30 minutes in order to fully see the site; indeed, we see the Middle Causeway BUT not the Giant. Just the beautiful coastal road even in the pouring rain and the Giant's Causeway. The rest (Cornlaugh, Dark Edges) does not bring anything exceptional. But this is not offered... a bit disappointing, very touristy. Friendly guide but nothing more (at least regarding non-English speakers).
This was such a wonderful holidays experience for us. The guide and the driver was awesome. He explained everything very well to us. He was humble polite and very supportive. He is a gem. The service was prompt and worth the money. I would recommend them to everyone. I will choose them next time too. Thank you for the service.
Steven our driver was excellent. He gave us lots of information about what we were seeing. There’s plenty of time at the Giant’s Causeway. Smaller bus is much more interesting and comfortable.
Our guide Paul was absolutsly excellent! Fully made the trip with his knowledge, entertainment and friendlyness. Not only was he able to tell us about the places we were visiting but also gave lota of information throughout the routes and placss we were driving through. A real credit to the company. All locations had adequate stay time to get what you needed! Fully reccommended.
Paul is the most amazing tour guide we have ever met. What enchanting storytelling he does! He is so knowledgeable about history, geography, culture, and current affairs. The way he connected the past to the present took us back to times we never got to live through or witness, yet we deeply felt every moment as he described them. Even my boys (12 and 14), who are usually not good listeners, were completely intrigued and listened attentively throughout. We have now returned from Northern Ireland, but the beautiful feelings and love for this place that he filled us with will definitely stay with us forever. Thank you, Paul. Stay happy and healthy.

Stephen is an absolute delight as a tour guide, and he kept us engaged with stories about Belfast's history as well as information about the sites we visited. Great tour, excellent guide and a wonderful way to spend a day taking in the sites.
Excellent trip. Comfortable coach and knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed my day here at Northern Ireland
The drive along the coast to the Giants was truly worth seeing. Once there, you should take the shuttle bus. It only costs a few euros and can be paid by card. This way, you have more time for photos at the Giants!! At the Dark Hedges, you should walk quickly through the park; otherwise, you will hardly make it to the end of the Hedges on time. It is advisable to bring something to eat and drink so as not to waste time at the attractions. Our headband also helped a lot; the wind really howls there! The stories on the bus were very entertaining, thank you, Paul!! Overall, highly recommended!!!
