Fab afternoon

A 5 hr experience, we were with Shane, who was very chatty and informative and humourous. We had a great day but felt we could have done with 2 hrs at the Giant Causeway, it felt slightly rushed but other than that we had a fabulous day. On the way back, Shane treated us to some more folklore stories and evening some singing. Would definitely recommend

Cruise ship excursion

It was a great excursion - lots of walking (although there is a bus to use. Our driver Michael was awesome - he certainly kept us entertained

Fun

Our guide and driver Garry was humorous, knowledgeable and made the trip so much fun. We learned a little more about Ireland than we did before. The bus ride was comfortable with beautiful sceneries and we especially like that this is a half day tour which worked with our schedule.

All round excellent experience

The driver was a good narrator too! He pointed out places of interest. The bus was clean and comfortable. We all went our separate ways at the Giant’s Causeway and everyone appeared to have enjoyed the outing.
