Just great!

Combining the trip with the train and bus was a good idea, so the bus ride was not too long. Everything went smoothly. The guide was super funny and you can tell people that they enjoy their job. Good English skills are important. Important for other travelers: sit on the right side of the bus so that you can take great photos of the coast trip, because the way back is a different one. Unfortunately we sat on the left ...

I'd take this trip again right away

Very well-organized, and you feel secure all the way through. The bus driver slash tour guide was very affable and told us a lot about the country. He was also a very good driver. We didn't get that much time for lunch (in Bushmills), and we didn't have time to visit the distillery. I thought that was a real shame, since you're already there at the distillery at noon. We got enough time to spend at Giant's Causeway as well as the hanging bridge. This was a magnificent day trip, and the weather was lovely. This isn't necessarily well-suited for older people, since there's lots of walking and when you head out from Dublin it makes for a very long, intensive day.

Great countryside

My girlfriend and I took this tour five days ago. We were really able to see a lot and also took short breaks whenever there was a good photo opportunity. We were even 'treated' to a bottle of water. Our guide was very nice and helpful and told us lots of things worth knowing. All in all we really enjoyed this tour, and we'd recommend it. Why did I take off a star?!?? There are another two cool countryside panoramas that I would have liked to have captured on film- but unfortunately the driver didn't stop there, even though it would have been worth it.
