“Everything were wonderful. The guide and driver, the scenery and arenged stops. You dont have to be a huge fan of got to like this tour. On the contrary it enriches the tour with more stops and places to see. The only thing i would prefer to be a little bit longer was the amount of time we had to spent at the causeway and rope because we were in a hurry to make it on time and didnt enjoy as much as we wanted the scenery. Overall a very good trip which i fully recomend.”

“We were picked up for our private tour in Fergals's pristine black Jaguar. We spent a great day with Fergal learning about all the local history and visiting places that the tour busses just don't see. We only saw a couple of them them once we reached Giant's Causeway. Even that was great though, since he times the tour so that you reach there when there is low "traffic". Would highly recommend this tour.”

“We picked this tour as we wanted to see a different side of Belfast with the street art and also to experience some of the live music that Belfast has to offer. Our tour guide met us and took us to view the street art of which he was very knowledgeable, however if he didn't like it he would just skip over it even if we had questions. The street art part of the walking tour took about 30 minutes and felt rushed. He also throughout the walk criticised the other tours we had been on. We then went to the first of what was meant to be 4 pubs…”
