Patrick was a great guide, providing lots of interesting information in his commentary as we drove from one stop to the next. The 90 minutes at the Giant's Causeway, and the Dark Hedges were the highlights of the day for me. Am not usually a fan of coach tours but this was well organised, and thanks to the other passengers sticking to the timings we were able to spend a good amount of time at each stop. The (additional) lunch options at the pub were good, pie was a winner!
