AVOID AVOID AVOID
My wife and I booked a tour of Northern Ireland after docking in Belfast on a cruise, expecting a professional and enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, it quickly turned into a complete disaster.
About an hour into the tour, we were stopped by law enforcement officers and informed that the driver, Fergal, was operating illegally and that his so-called "luxury vehicle" was also not legally compliant. This was incredibly embarrassing, stressful, and completely ruined what should have been a memorable day.
To make matters worse, we were forced to abandon the tour and arrange alternative transport. We were placed in a local taxi to continue our sightseeing and had to pay for the tour again out of our own pocket. The biggest shock came when we discovered that using a local taxi for the same itinerary was approximately $500 cheaper than the tour we had originally booked.
No visitor should have to endure the experience we went through. We felt misled, overcharged, and extremely disappointed. I would strongly advise others to avoid booking with this operator and to consider local taxi services instead. Don't be conned into paying premium prices for a service that may not even be operating legally.

Hello again Irma and Steve and thank you so much for these lovely words about our day together exploring the highlights of Northern Ireland. It was my great pleasure to show you all that is special about this place that I call home and it was lovely to witness your response to the many amazing locations we visited. It was a long day and hopefully when you go back to your ship, you had a good restful night. I also hope that your other Irish shore excursions were equally rewarding. Hopefully you will make it back this way soon to continue the adventure!

N. Ireland Coastal Highlights - did not disappoint…
Fergel was knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. We had the best time. He was able to show us everything we were looking for. Great conversation and just a blast all the way around. 100% recommend and will definitely hire him again when we come back. He made the trip very memorable.

Hello again my lovely friends and thank you so much for your wonderful review of our day together in March. I always love the days out when we do things backwards and that you enjoyed your Bushmills Distillery visit and didn’t fall over later at the Giant’s Causeway. Glad that you had a great trip out with me and I do look forward to seeing you both back my way soon.

Five star all the way around
Incredible scenery, and our host Fergal was an expert in his field and enjoyable to be with. We weren’t expecting a private tour in a gorgeous jaguar sedan so that was a bonus and Fergal had that car hugging every turn on the narrow and windy backroads. He also made great use of the shorter daylight time. This trip was beyond our expectations and couldn’t have been any better. The host/guide/driver is outstanding, the scenery is one beautiful scene after another, and the route was well planned and full of history. I especially liked that Fergal spoke just the right amount of the time and was very perceptive in knowing when and what to say. He reads his audience well.

Hello again Michele and Abby and my huge thanks for this wonderful review of our day together in deepest darkest Ireland in November. It is wonderful to hear that Ireland, and those of us who call her home, can deliver such a great experience even when the days are short and the weather unpredictable. Yet our autumn and winter can often deliver the best of the Emerald Isle. Thank you for your wonderful company, for the awe that you both showed at every turn in the road and for every lovely word about your time with me as your guide. Go Raibh Maith Agat.

Northern Ireland at its Best!
My full-day Northern highlights guided tour with host Fergal was truly an experience I will never forget. I so enjoyed the sights, the beauty of Northern Ireland, the small towns, the wonderful stories that Fergal told, the coastal areas and seas, the castles, waterfalls, history of this great place and more. Fergal is a wonderful guide, full of knowledge of his beloved home country. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him, learning about Northern Ireland in a peaceful manner, visiting places that many large buses cannot go. I highly recommend Fergal's tour. It is well worth it! Thank you, Fergal, for a great day!

Hi there Amy and hope all is well in your lovely world back in the USA. Thank you my amazing friend for this lovely and touching review of our day together along the jewel that is the Antrim Coast and Glens. Shorter days and unpredictable weather, to include what you lovingly called our Irish 'hurricane' was never going to be a deterrent to a wonderful experience. And by God you made it wonderful for me as your host. As a solo traveler, it was my pleasure to make this private tour accessible for you and to ensure that you had an unforgettable day. Hopefully we can meet again to continue the journey. Go Raibh Maith Agat!

A day well spent
If you want to avoid the crowd and experience the coastal route scenery, this is very much recommended. At your leisure and a good time spend learning the history and geography with Fergal.
An obvious comparison would be with the 'Bus Tours' to Giant Causeway and Game of thrones route. I understand that there will be quite a bit of walking involved with the Bus tours as drop off points are not always closer to the point of interest. regarding this tour, I must say that the route taken is not same as the bus route, and hence do your (re)search and choose which sites you would prefer to visit.

Hi there Gladstone and thank you so much for these wonderful words of our day together. I don't offer tours related to Game of Thrones so I cannot possibly comment on the alternatives that you describe here. Nonetheless, it was a pleasure to offer you a day well spent on your business trip to Belfast with your partner and that you had a great time. With my warmest regards and safe onward journey my friend.
