We would never have been able to see so many venues independently. We enjoyed the tour.

The sites were beautiful, and the Irish scenery was fantastic to behold. I just wish the buses were a bit roomier. We were on them for a long time, and they were a bit cramped for tall people. But I would still do it again!

Our train was delayed due to engine malfunction, so we had to skip some things. But there was sufficient time for the Causeway & Carrick-a-Rede so it was all good!

This is somewhere between three and four stars. We're not much for organized tours, but we were very satisfied with our experience!

The trip could only have been better if we had seen the rope bridge. The trail was crowded when we arrived and we were told it was closed. It's a long way to go from California and miss one of the highlights of the tour for no good reason.

This was a very interesting tour. Very beautiful countryside. Only draw back was that we were not immediately met after the bus dropped us off near the Belfast train station. Our guide found us waiting a the station.

The journey to the North was a great deal of fun and definitely worth the time and the money. The Giant's Causeway has to be seen to be believed. Booking on Viator also saved me about $10 per person over the usual cost (as I found out from my fellow travellers who booked directly). Give it a try if you're in Dublin with a day to spare.

We had a two hour delay in getting to Belfast for the coach, due to a faulty engine on the enterprise train from Dublin to Belfast. Then only an abbreviated coach tour, missed first half of scenic coast but good view of motorway. Then on to Giants Causeway, approx 1 hour 30 minutes at Giants Causeway including time taken for lunch, then 1 hour at carrick-a-rede rope bridge, great if you are super fit. Returned to Belfast for trip back to Dublin. No escort at Belfast so find seats on train yourself.

The scenery was beautiful and it was neat to see so much of the coast. However our tour guide/bus driver wasn't that great. He hardly spoke and a lot of us on the bus were never sure where we were or what to expect. We were on a tight schedule and he waited over 30 minutes for stragglers and we missed the BushMills tour completely. I only recommend this tour for Giants Causeway and seeing the coast.

We had problems from the very start, when our train broke down. We weren't offered a chance to take the tour on another day but had to deal with rushing and missing out on going to the Bushmills Distillery. There wasn't nearly enough time to explore the Giant's Causeway, either.

The guide who rode with us to Belfast was informative and fun. Unfortunately there just didn't seem to be enough time at the stops, just enough time to take a few pictures and make it back to the bus. Lunch was good, though it took a while although. I'm not sure what I would cut back on or shorten but it felt too rushed.

The trip was way way too rushed. The guides were boring and dry, way to serious. When we arrived in Belfast to get on our coach bus, my boyfriend and I couldn't even sit together, as the bus was already 80 full with people coming from Belfast. I would think for the amount of money we paid, we would be able to sit together for the 2 hours 1/2 bus ride in each direction. Each stop we made was about 5-7 minutes, not nearly enough time, and our Scottish guide didn't even point out anything a long the way. The scenery is beautiful, but I would highly not suggest this company.
