    Interesting and intense in a good way since it was a half-day tour. We were given plenty of time to roam around and enjoy the views, and our guide was very attentive and informative.

    The tour guide was engaging. Giant's Causeway was impressive. I would have liked to do more at Dunlace Castle then a photo op. We were able to grab a quick lunch to go at the hotel by the Causeway. The Dark Hedges we could have lived without. I like Game of Thrones but it's just a row of trees. Overall though, the tour was a good value.

    We booked this tour 24 hours before the date we wanted. We received and instant confirmation but being a little wary, I contacted the tour company by phone to make sure all would be right. The tour company owner Michael said he would verify all details including a pick up at the cruise terminal. 30 minutes later we received a confirmation all was well. At 9.00 am the following morning we were warmly greeted by our driver Redmond (call me Red !!) who explained what we could do during our tour including shortening times at attractions, missing some all together If we wished ( we skipped Bushmills as we’re not whiskey drinkers) and substituted a hearty pub lunch instead. The attractions we visited were excellent and given we had a bit of time up our sleeve, Red took us on a tour of his home town Derry to finish the day. Whilst the cost may seem high compared to doing things on a coach, if you have a party of 4 it works out very cost effective, is done at a pace you dictate and you have a lot of fun on the way. Thoroughly recommend both the tour company and our driver Red 👍

    Sites were amazing, tour guide was great. However since we picked up the bus in Belfast, there weren’t many seats available, since the bus originated from Dublin. There was no mention of this in the tour description. If staying Belfast find your that originates in Belfast. Description of bus stop location had us and the 4 passengers worried we not in the correct place. No signs. Also description said to pack a lunch, but 2 stops where you could purchase food.

    Great tour overall. Quigs was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would have liked to have spent 30-45 minutes at Dunlunce Castle exploring. It was only a 5 minute photo stop. The Giant Causeway was beautiful. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking to the site and on the site. The Dark Hedges didn’t impress me. Just a bunch of beautiful trees. Like I said, I would have preferred the Castle instead of the Hedges. Also, you need to bring your own lunch and water. You’ll be eating it on the bus since there’s no time during this 6 hr tour.

    Conor was a fantastic tour guide. He had a wealth of knowledge and told great stories. Our driver Fred was great and had a sly sense of humor. The sights were breathtaking. Giants Causeway is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.

    Sights were great and our tour guide brought the stories of Ireland to life for us!! Thanks Quiggs!!

    We booked direct with the firm as a birthday trip , as we were going to be in Belfast.. This was day trip from Dublin , which picks up at Belfast too. We were given pointers for the day ( bring snacks etc ) and timings . After a bit of mix up with coach collection - which was apologised for - we set off for our day out. Quiggs our guide was passionate about the island / area , history, language and provided excellent information , stories, pictures and music , all through the day . Vic the driver was also very professional and made up for any potentially lost time at the start . It would have been nice to had a closer look at the castle ( just a photo stop on our day ) , But Giants fabulous , as was Dark Hedges. Arrived back in Belfast at 330pm

    We had a brilliant time on our coach tour. Guide was Quiggy and driver was Salah. Salah drove very comfortably and was prompt. Quiggy was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and informative and is obviously so proud of his country which was a real delight. He made our trip so enjoyable and made sure that we were all engaged. My children aged 10 and 13 really enjoyed it too. Best coach tour we've ever been on. Would highly recommend.

    The tour was a great way to see the highlights and have an adequate amount of time at each spot. Guide was very knowledgeable and shared stories from his childhood growing up at the end of the troubles.
