This was a great tour. Timings were good at each location, and Ryan and Brian were excellent guides, sharing personal stories of life in both Ireland and Belfast which elevated the tour beyond my expectations. I joined in Belfast - if you are part of a group, you should be aware most people seem to join in Dublin so you may struggle to sit with your party. Really great experience, would highly recommend.

Continue to the Giant's Causeway to marvel at 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Learn about the legend of Finn, said to have built the causeway to cross the Irish Sea to fight a Scottish giant known as Benandonner.

Great way to get up north and see the sights! Some parts of it felt a bit rushed, but it's understandable given the timeframe.
