The tour was perfect especially to those who are fans of Game of Thrones. I commend our tour guide who gave fun facts about each towns that we passed through. The journey towards every destination was breathtaking as we traverse through seaside roads and valleys. My favorite part was the Giant's Causeway because of the amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. Good thing we can bring water and something to eat inside the bus. Also, dress appropriately as the weather is unpredictable.

Can’t recommend this trip enough! As a solo traveller the trip was a great way for me to visit lots of beautiful places in a safe environment. Our guide Patrick was great, he was very informative and had a great sense of humour. The day was very well planned out with toilet breaks factored into the journey. It was a great opportunity to see what there was to offer outside of Belfast and I had a great day. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Northern Ireland!

It was a great trip. I loved visiting the locations, and the tour staff was awesome. It was definitely worth the money and will consider booking tours with Finn McCools Tours in the future.

The trip was fabulous ! The locations are worth visiting. Patrick our tour guide was amazing he was humorous along with being informative.

This was fantastic, it is truly a unique experience. We were lucky to have excellent weather.
