Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Dark Hedges, off Bregagh Road, Ballymoney Northern Ireland
You'll have chance to stop along the way to admire the Dark Hedges, a key filming location for hit TV series Game of Thrones, for 10 - 15 minutes. The trees were planted 270 years ago by the Stuart family as a driveway to their Gracehill Manor. It is now very well known to amateur photographers.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Giant's Causeway, Causeway Road, Bushmills BT57 8SU Northern Ireland
Enjoy around 1.5 hours to marvel at the spectacular landscapes at the Giant's Causeway, made up of some 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. It has often been described as the 8th wonder of the world. You will see why once you have visited the place. This is one of the world's greatest natural attractions. According to mythology, Finn built the Causeway as stepping stones to cross the Irish sea in order to battle Benandonner, a Scottish giant. Although a giant himself, when Finn reached Scotland he saw that Benandonner was almost twice his size, and immediately retreated with his rival in pursuit. Finn’s wife disguised him as a baby, and on seeing the child, Benandonner fled home fearing how enormous it’s father must be.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, 119A Whitepark Road, Ballintoy BT54 6LS Northern Ireland
Continue along the coast to the Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge, a 66-foot (20-meter) long bridge that crosses the Atlantic Ocean, linking the mainland to the Carrick-a-rede Island. You'll have around 1 hour and 20 minutes to explore, which is plenty of time to brave the bridge crossing or hike along the coast, enjoying views of nearby Sheep Island and the Mull of Kintyre. You will be able to cross the bridge for free if the weather is nice and the bridge is open on the day.

The tour guide Derrick was entertaining and knowledgeable. The driver Yuri was very nice too. A good tour to see the main sights and enough time at each stop. Highly recommended.?
OK tour. Sites were good but tour guide didn't really explain too much about sites we visited, would have been nice to have heard more stories, facts about our trip and areas we passed. Weather was awful so couldn't go across the Rope Bridge. Coach was comfortable but would have been nice to have better music on board. Songs were repeated, sound system wasn't too great, overall service was OK but could have been better.
Great trip. Fun guide. We took our boys 5 and 16 on it. Both had a great time. Our guide treated our younger son very well! Great all around!
