Excellent trip! Jeanette our tour guide was wonderful! She was there to answer all of our questions, provide us a bit of history and there to entertain us with Irish music. Mike our driver was also excellent! Both kept us safe and on schedule. Prepare to walk a lot with this tour and bring a light jacket. The best part of our trip to Ireland so far.

The guide is really funny, I really like his stories, and I learn many things about Ireland and Irish. Thanks you so much for this lovely day.

We came from Spain, and as our stay in Ireland was going to be brief, we wanted to make the most of it and learn about the country as much as possible. As I have been an eager nature lover since childhood, my sister thought that this tour would be an excellent way to spend a special day together and discover the natural wonders of the North. I must say that she could n´t have made a better choice, we enjoyed every single moment of the trip. The journey was lovely, everything was perfectly organised and we had the opportunity of visiting amazing places with breathtaking views, taking pictures and explore around.

We had a great time with Nathan and Adam on the tour from Dublin to Giant's Causeway. It was a long day, but it was completely worth doing. I've been on other tours where they drop you off in a tourist trap, but this tour didn't include any of that. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned, and the driver did a great job navigating some of the tiny roads.
The sights were terrific and I loved hopping the stones at Giant's Causeway.
