- Giant’s Causeway - Dedicate 1.5 hours to exploring the renowned Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring approximately 40,000 interlocking basalt columns created by ancient volcanic activity. Often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world, it offers breathtaking natural beauty and captivating folklore. Legend has it that the giant Finn McCool constructed the Causeway to face his Scottish adversary, only to cleverly outwit him, thus saving Ireland. Whether drawn by the geology or the myths, this visit is truly memorable.
- The Dark Hedges - Relish a 10–15 minute visit to the eerily beautiful Dark Hedges, famed as a Game of Thrones filming location. Planted over 270 years ago by the Stuart family to adorn the entrance to Gracehill Manor, these twisting beech trees have become one of Northern Ireland’s most photographed sites. Whether you’re a fan of the series or simply enjoy a great photo, this magical avenue is bound to leave a lasting impression.

Quiggs is an excellent tour guide. - Quiggs our tour guide really made this trip! Knowledge and informative but with a real personalble quality. We learnt so much along the way! Loved the music samples he played us to go with relevant parts of the journey, including his own whistle tune. Excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun informative tour - Toured with Jared and Anthony. Really informative about lots of aspects of Northern Ireland in a fun way.
Saw the Causeway and the dark hedges and GOT sites along the way :))
Any other time would have liked to spend more time at the main sites and also get souvenirs, but the compact tour suited me really well this time, ending by 4pm so I could catch an evening flight.

Great day in Belfast - Lived this trip - Quig was a brilliant guide, very funny and his knowledge of irelands history was extremely impressive.
The Giants Causeway was the highlight for me. I had been looking forward to the Titanic museum but I found it underwhelming when I got there with almost no original artefacts (not the tour company’s fault!)
Constructive feedback - maybe more opportunity to stop and get food / drink and use the toilet would have been helpful as it’s a long day. Maybe change the dark hedges to a cafe stop 🤣
Great day though, thoroughly enjoyed it and would book with the same company again

The cliffs - The weather was beautiful! The drive from town was awesome. Gerry our guide/ driver was outstanding! He was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and the city of Galway.

Fun at the causeway - Giants causeway was the pinnacle. If you're interested in doing the upper and lower trail (Red/Blue) start on the upper red trail first. At the end of the red trail there is a stairway down to the blue trail, otherwise you'll have to climb the stairs which is roughly 100 meters.

Beautiful locations - Pictures don’t do Ireland justice. Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges don’t feel real but they very much are! I appreciate the additional little stops on the way. Godfrey was very knowledgeable and funny. Daz our driver was professional and handled all the twists and turns gracefully.

Giants Causeway trip - We loved walking down to the Giants Causeway. It was incredible seeing the stones formation and hearing the legend of Finn McCool. (Our guide Delaney was lovely, & very knowledgeable about the area). Just wish we could have had a bit longer there. Whilst it was interesting seeing Dunluce Castle and the Dark Hedges, the Giants Causeway was the main event. We only had 1.5 hours there and we would have loved more time to explore the museum/visitor centre as well as walking up & down to the Causeway itself. The coastline was stunning.

A lot of tour for the money - I really enjoyed seeing the countryside of Ireland and it's just beautiful. The tour guide was Extremely Loud on the microphone and spoke constantly. He thought he was a stand-up comic, an impersonator and a singer. He was a nice fellow and tried to make sure everybody had a good time but it was a bit much. As far as value, you couldn't have asked for and a more inclusive tour for the money. I was able to take some nice pictures of the coastline and a castle as well as some other natural phenomenon.
