I went with my sister and honestly, we had a BLAST! Our guide, Rick, kept cracking jokes the whole time and made even the bus ride fun (didn't expect that, lol). Weather was drizzly at first but then cleared up for some EPIC views. We did feel a bit rushed at the Giant's Causeway, but still got our pics in. Pro tip: bring snacks, there’s not much time for food stops. Would def do again!

Our family did this tour and the kids LOVED it. Special shout out to Ben, who gave my youngest his own little trivia quiz (she’s been telling everyone about it since). Weather was a bit all over the place—sun, rain, then sun again. But wow, the Causeway is even more impressive in person. Don’t skip the coffee at the second stop—best I’ve had on a tour bus!

Super fun day out! The bus was comfy and our driver, Sam, could seriously handle those twisty roads. Was a bit crowded at the main stop, but I guess that’s normal in summer. Learned some cool facts about the area. Wish we had 15 more mins at the rope bridge though, felt a bit like we were herded back. Still—worth it.

Went solo and met a bunch of friendly folks on the bus! The guide, Julie, was sooooo knowledgeable and even sang a little tune for us (random but cute). The weather was perfect and the sites are just unreal. Bring a jacket, even if it looks sunny. Highly recommend, especially for solo travelers!

Honestly, mixed feelings on this one. The locations were stunning, but the tour felt rushed and we barely got to eat (pack ur own sandwiches). Staff were helpful but the group was HUGE, so kinda hard to ask questions. Still, seeing the Causeway was worth the hassle.
