Excellent excursion - Fantastic experience for the one day tour. Tour guide was waiting outside of the terminal when we disembarked. He is professional and knowledgeable. We visited all scenes as described and even more than that. The recommended lunch is very delicious and sea food was very fresh. We had enjoyed the tour from the beginning to the end.

Giants Causeway, Game of Thrones, coastal tour - Billy gave us a great tour! We went along the coast from our cruise ship to Giants Causeway with plenty of stops to see castles, glens, a rope bridge and beautiful vistas. He even called in our lunch orders so our meal was ready shortly after we arrived. The Game of Thrones filming sites were fun stops too. Great tour, great guy. Professional from start to finish.

Beautiful - Our driver, Patrick, was a gem! Very professional and knowledgeable. He pointed out all the historic places as well as places that are on all Game of Thrones fans to-see list. The Giants Causeway stop was probably the top of everyone's list and well worth it! Stop in at the hotel's restaurant for some dessert. Personally, I wanted to get a closer look at Dunluce Castle but that's okay ... next trip!

Great Day Touring the Giant's Causeway and Northern Ireland Coast - Generally, all of our stops along the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland were great. We especially enjoyed the Giant's Causeway and the Carrick Rope Bridge stops. Spectacular views and the ability to enjoy these experiences close up. Since this was a private tour, we could enjoy our stops at our own pace and were also able to customize the itinerary to spend more time at some stop as our interests indicated. Eamonn our driver was good at pointing out areas of interest and was able to answer all of our questions. Definitely would recommend this tour to others if you want more than the quick on/off bus tours.

First Class Experience with a Professional and Personable Guide!! - I can't rave enough about our tour of the Giants Causeway with William "Billy" Steward of Vale Executive Transfers. He made the tour fun, informative, and special for our group of four. The vehicle was comfortable, immaculate, and equipped with water and necessities had we needed them. He was not only dressed as a consummate professional, he handled himself and the tour in such a professional manner while being a ton of fun at the same time! We were in complete charge of how long we stayed at each site and he simply guided us on a good timeframe at each if we wanted to keep to our full itinerary. We had exactly the right amount of time at each stop. Billy was so knowledgeable and engaging as he gave the history and facts on each stop that people from other groups would gather close enough to listen in. He made sure that we saw points of interest from the right vantage points and even added a couple of quick surprise stops that he knew we would like. I would definitely recommend a tour with Billy. The Causeway was spectacular but was truly enhanced by Billy's knowledge and experience. Thank you for a GREAT day, Billy!!!!!!

Best Day Ever! - John (JR) was a great tour guide - humorous, informative and empathetic. He provided great advice which helped us shape our itinerary and maximize our tour experience. And what an itinerary: from The Dark Hedges to Dunluce Castle to Giant's Causeway to Ballintoy and finally the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, we enjoyed a great variety of once-in-a-lifetime sights and experiences. I easily took more pictures on this tour than any other day during my 12-day UK trip!
