“The tour was really lovely and gave us lots of new impressions. Just a small tip: it would be great to let travelers know in advance that the route is quite winding with lots of hairpin bends. For passengers like me who get travel-sick easily, that kind of heads-up is really helpful.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the activity. Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. Only problem was we were a party of 6 being picked up in Belfast and the bus had come from Dublin. The bus was quite full already and we were unable to sit together. This might have been as the trip the previous day had been cancelled due to snow.”
