This was my first tour when I arrived in Ireland. It was beautiful. Wear tennis shoes or hiking shoes for this trip. We crossed a rope bridge after a one-kilometer walk. I didn't understand that we were getting off the train during the tour and walking around, so I wore a pair of sandals that was not appropriate for this type of walk. That being said, I enjoyed it. Breathtaking views! Bring your camera and lots of batteries! A great, well-organized tour!

Any trip to Ireland would not be complete without a trip to Giant's Causeway. Thanks Viator for offering a nice day trip from Dublin.

Very good, amazing scenery. We had some problems on the border on the way back and the group had to transfer to a bus, then back onto the train - got back two hours late at 24:00 hours, and taxis were provided to take us to our hotels. Would go again despite this - it added to the experience!

We had the perfect weather for this trip, and therefore we could really enjoy and appreciate the glorious scenery. There is a lot of walking to get to the rope bridge and the causeway, so one does need to wear a pair of comfortable, appropriate shoes.

The tour was fantastic and the scenery was spectacular. We were escorted on the train to Belfast. A bus met us and proceeded to the Antrim seacoast and through the various Glens of Antrim. Each of these little towns was prettier than the next. There was a bus stop to walk across the Carrick a Rede rope bridge. We then stopped in the village of Bushmill’s for lunch and a distillery tour. At the end of the distillery tour you are provided a sample of their Irish whiskey. Next was the Giant Causeway. Fortunately, there is a shuttle bus there which would take you down and back up for a fee. The bus driver was entertaining and had many interesting stories throughout the tour. There can be a lot of walking involved in this tour.

It was worth doing the tour, but it would have been much better if the tour stopped longer at the causeway. They only gave us two hours, and you spend at least 45 mins eating at the restaurant. At the stop for the Bushmills gift shop, they don't even take you on a tour,and the half hour visit is way too long. The only thing that makes the visit productive is to go across the street to the supermarket and buy food for a nice picnic at the causeway. The tour guide, while very nice, was very hard to understand. He pointed out things in this monotonous tone of voice that made a lot of things he said incomprehensible. Ireland and Northern Ireland are beautiful countries. That's what makes the tour interesting. I believe it could be managed much better and be a great experience for everybody.

The Causeway was beautiful, but it was long on a bus with no air.

This made for a very long day, but you'll see some amazing sights. Don't forget your umbrella, and drink a Red Bull before you go!

An excellent opportunity to see as much of Northern Ireland as possible in only one day.

Great trip but I wish there had been an option to do some shopping in Belfast and a tour of where the Titanic was built. We had a great tour guide.

We saw some great things and the guide was very knowlegeable. Since our group left from Dublin, we met up with the actual tour group in Belfast. We had one guide that met us at the train in Dublin and then dropped us off to the group in Belfast. I felt as though some parts of our trip were rushed. I would have liked a little more time in Belfast or Giant's Causeway maybe cut out the Brewery. On our way back into Belfast, our guide dropped us off at a hotel, where we were supposed to meet with a guide who would take us back to Dublin, but no guide ever showed up. Our group had to find our way back to the train station and wait for almost two hours for the next train. Kind of some wasted time in my opinion. Overall, I enjoyed the trip, I would just suggest one start the trip in Belfast as opposed to Dublin.
