“Incredible. To my shame I was originally dissapointed that our guide Mylie was an American but that changed within the first 30 seconds of her speaking. She really really knows her stuff and delivered it in a very engaging way. It’s the best city tour I’ve ever done anywhere. I grew up during the Troubles and quickly realised that being English I have only ever heard one side of the story. It was great getting both sides of it on the tour.

“Our driver/guide Paul was funny, knowledgeable, and a great driver on those narrow NI roads! He told great stories along the way, and kept our busload of people (25 of us) on time. Total tour duration from pick up to final dropoff was just under 10 hours if that helps with your planning (0830 to 1820). We had about 90 minutes of self-guided time at the Giant's Causeway which was enough time to hike the entire trail and back, if you're a medium fast walker. I either didn't know or didn't remember that a visit to Bushmill's distillery was included - great surprise! A lot of these Causeway tours look…”
