Great Service!

My friend and I had a great experience on this tour. Everyone we worked with was very helpful and friendly. Our bus driver Patrick was totally great, and the folks at the Railtours were also great! We did this tour upon arriving in Ireland and I was nice to know we didn't have to plan or do much more than just show up on time. Hotel accommodations were great as well. I would recommend this tour hands down!

Giant's Causeway and rail tour
Sightseer332708
, Oct 2018
The train trip from Dublin to Belfast was very nice and a great way to see the Country. The hotel was in a great location and very spacious. The Giants Causeway was breathtaking as expected. Just plain beautiful. The bridge was closed due to windy weather but we were still able to walk the area and take in the scenery. Bushmills Distillery and the castle were added stops that we enjoyed. The local guide and bus driver were very knowledgable and gave histories and stories for the area. It was a long day but worth it for what we saw. Only negative is the trip advertised three free meals and we only received one, breakfast.. We thought lunch was included but we were told we needed to pay by the local guide.

This was a great experience, everything from the train ride, right down to the tour back home. Wish we would have spent less time picking passengers up and more time at the Causeway. But other than that, everything was great.

Hotel accommodations were great, and the bus tour was fantastic! Very informative, with plenty of time at all the different stops. Just wish we'd had more time to explore Belfast the day we arrived. Our RailTour guide was helpful, although he showed up later than we expected. After the bus tour ended, we had to trek a few blocks to the train station with all our luggage, and expected our guide to meet us, but he didn't. We didn't know what time the train back to Dublin was, and by the time we got there after hustling straight from the bus we had missed it by a few minutes and had to wait a couple hours for the next one. More detailed info about that portion of the trip would have been helpful!

Having an escort from Dublin to Belfast was brilliant. The hotel accommodations were brilliant. II only give this a four instead of five, because it seems a walking tour could have been arranged for Belfast near the hotel. We were too late to go to the Titanic, but would have loved to see the city. would love to revisit Ireland, and this coach tour up to the Giant's Causeway was brilliant. Driver / Guide was brilliant.
