Kieran was an excellent guide and ambassador for Northern Ireland. He shared information in an amusing and interesting way. We learned a lot of history - and Irish myths. Beautiful views everywhere we looked! Kieran was very professional and dedicated to ensuring we greatly enjoyed the tour. He gave us excellent recommendations as well. We are greatly appreciative of him spending his day and sharing his knowledge with us!
We learned so much on our day tour with Michael. He had a wealth of knowledge about the history and geography of the area. Despite it being a soggy day, we had a wonderful experience touring Derry, Dunluce Castle, Portrush, and the Giant’s Causeway. Michael very patiently answered all of our questions, and tailored the tour to us, as we asked to deviate from the plan a bit - a definite advantage of a private tour. I highly recommend this excursion, and its operator!
Had an amazing day traveling with Michael Cooper himself. He is a thoughtful, intelligent and yet easy going man who brought the history of the area to life. My son and I learned a great deal from Michael’s deep knowledge of Irish history as well as his real life experiences during difficult times. This tour is a great value and worth every minute - John From Hoboken NJ USA
Deidre with Blue Badge Guides was amazing. She met us right on time and gave us a beautiful drive along the coast. We made a special stop at Ballintoy to see the cemetery where some of my ancestors were buried. She was very solicitous of me as I have some mobility issues. Deidre also gave us a quick tour of Derry, where she has personal experience with the history. We all had a lovely time. I highly recommend touring with Blue Badge and Deidre.
Great Driver! Knowledgeable and kind! We had a great day and highly recommend this private tour! Our driver Aiden, gave us all the time we needed at every stop and was a pleasure to have as our guide!
We had a lovely afternoon with Michael. He was right on time and we wasted no time getting oriented to the city before heading out to Giants Causeway. Michael definitely knew his history local and otherwise which made it particularly nice for me being a history nerd. I liked getting his perspective as he's old enough to have experienced some of the good along with the challenging history and being in the bullseye of the Northern Ireland conflict made it particularly interesting. Unfortunately for us we were there in November when the sunlight has disappeared by 4:30 which made for a brisk trip to get to the Causeway but he showed us eveything we could try and fit into an afternoon trip. We felt quite lucky to be able to snag Michael on short notice as we were there at the bottom of the tourist season. If we are lucky enough to be ab;e to get back to that part of Ireland again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to book Michael for another tour.
Michael gave a wonderful personalized tour to the Causeway with an impromptu guide to the bogside murals, which we later explored on our own. Witty, friendly, and very much an expert in the area. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our day!
Our guide was friendly and super knowledgeable so our entire trip was filled with local history and events that still affect the area. He was great at communicating with as plans changed due to our finishing a portion early.
We had a group tour to Giant's Causeway, Bushmills Distillery and Coastal Treasures. Our guide in Londonderry (or Derry if you prefer?) Dierdre, and driver Lionel were a hoot as a team. Our group enjoyed their banter and joking back and forth on how they came from both sides of the political and religious fences. An 8 hour tour with lunch but it seemed to pass quickly even with the detours due to the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush which was happening near our lunch spot at the Royal Court Hotel. We ended with a tasting at Bushmills and some souvenir shopping. I highly recommend both Dierdre and Lionel.
This was the perfect causeway coast tour! We had such a great day with our stellar tour guide. Highly recommend!
