Causeway is awesome, tour could be enhanced.

Pretty good tour, fun destinations and logistics are smooth. Downsides are the initial castle is closed bc bus arrives before opening hours, so you only briefly walk around a stone wall. Not interesting. Causeway is amazing, but time there is brief after the walk from bus to it. Dark Hedges is a country road with a few large trees, unremarkable. Suggest cut hedges out, arrive at castle after it's open, and increase time at Causeway. I paid for premium seats, but not worth it, minimal difference to normal seating.

Not for everyone so consider your options

Sit on the right side of the bus!! We got there not long before the departure time so all of those seats were taken & we weren’t able to enjoy the views of the coast (2 hr drive) like they did. I liked the stops with the exception of the 1st castle, but bc there are so many there’s not much time at each. In hindsight I would’ve preferred a tour with more time at the Giants Causeway, dark hedges, and at the viewpoint of the Carrick-a-Rede. I liked that we got to see a lot, I just wish the strangers & driver that we experienced it with were kinder.
