Most passengers were Spanish talkers and they talked since the guide did not give them much information in Spanish except the times to return to the bus. A lot of emphasis was placed on the Game of Thrones sites I did not take the tour which focused on that but on this tour, however since the wind canceled the visit to the rope walkway something was needed to replace the hole in the tour's timetable. The walk down to the causeway was long and those that chose that option instead of taking the bus missed out on lunch as there was not enough time at the causeway but then the weather was not good so more time for those who used the bus would have been wasted unless they went into the visitor center and spent time being informed about the geology and myths about the area. The failure to include in the tour price the entrance fee into the visitor center was a mistake which should be remedied on future tours, ditto for the cost of the bus trip from the center to and from the causeway site.

We booked online with Finn McCool's tours for a pickup in Belfast (the bus leaves from Dublin) but with only one day's notice and by the time they got our booking they had already filled up the bus with Dublin tourists. Or so they said. Regardless, they subcontracted us out to Allan's Tours. The bus was comfortable, the driver was good. Tickets to the rope bridge were included with our Finn McCool price and Allan's honoured that so all was good. The price was reasonable - basically, although you go past a few other locations and make some short stops, it's a tour to the rope bridge and the Giant's Causeway - and you get enough time at both those stops.

I enjoyed the tour, we saw a lot of interesting things on our way and the weather was more or less good as well. The tour guide Derrick was fun and relaxed, telling us jokes, history facts and music lessons while we were driving. I only wish the speaker/microphone in the bus would be a bit better, sometimes I had difficulty to understand what was he saying. There was also no stop for lunch so take something with you before you go to the bus ;)
