Reviews
I had never seen Game of Thrones but I still really enjoyed seeing Giant's Causeway as well as some of the places where scenes had been filmed!
Great experience for those who watch Game of Thrones and want to see the sites. Tour guide and bus driver were both good!
Its an excellent tour, because it covers the main attractions
Unfortunately our trip was going to be cancelled because the bus scheduled for us had broken down. Fortunately, the owner was a friend of another tour company that had room to accommodate us about a half hour later. We ended up getting a more comprehensive tour for the same price. Only problem with that was the front door of the bus opened several times while driving!! Driver even dropped us off at our cruise ship instead of downtown
Not just for Game of Thrones fans - Take Michael Dunlop Dark Hedges for all Road Racing Fans... - Dark Hedges is stunning and glad to have arrived early before the other coach tours which enabled us to enjoy the route - The views further on the coast are stunning and we were very lucky with the weather. Arrived at The Giants Causeway with other tours, but not too busy to be able to appreciate the heritage site. If you don't bring a picnic, there is a small kiosk at the Causeway Hotel to purchase a snack. Enjoyed the tales of Finn McCool, learnt the difference between a Reel and a Jig along with a Folk song !! from our friendly and informative tour guide Derrick who helped pass the time between locations along with coach driver Peter - A great day out which passed much too quickly - Highly recommended.
Excellent trip. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting and we were lucky with the weather! A fantastic and intense day trip - never a dull moment - and the lunch venue was well chosen.
Our guide Tara was great!! She knew all the spots. Tara also had pics with her of the scenes from the show so we could take pics with them. Our driver drove quick and took us to every spot we were to go to. I would highly recommend you take this tour. The giant causeways is also a must.
