Don’t do this trip when it’s raining. Not for getting wet but because the bus windows fogged up so much we couldn’t see anything🙁. Every reference made to looking out of left and right windows to see something was lost to us.

We had such a great day trip up the east coast of Northern Ireland with our tour guide Lisa and the Driver Allan. The tour was packed and took in tourist spots and ended up at the Giants Causeway. I can honestly say Lisa was the most informative tour guide I have experienced and took such great care of us all. She added personal touches, was welcoming and also kept us on time! Allan was a friendly and careful driver. I would recommend this tour to get you out of the city and seeing a different side of Northern Ireland

It's a good way to get around the city. A little confusing as to how they time your pass. Also, wanted to see the market, but it was closed.

Was easy to find and book online. I did not book in first visit and then got an email with a 10% discount which was well received. Outside the City Hall the team were great, quickly checking our tickets and putting us on a bus. We were lucky to have sunny March day so sat outside on the top deck and had a great view. The route was well planned taking in all the main sights and linking places worth visiting. We stayed on for a complete circuit and the drivers live commentary was excellent, really well balanced with historical fact, personal reflections and some very dry humour. After a coffee and a warm we boarded another bus to the Ulster Museum and then boarded the next passing bus which had our morning driver on. He added new facts to layer on the knowledge from the morning. We then boarded the final bus of the day to HMS Caroline and walked back from there. A really great tour and fantastic team

A great trip to find out about Belfast as there is so much to this city. The driver was so informative and also made it fun. It went through the old 'troubles' areas which was so interesting.
