The beautiful land of Ireland. I vlogged this spectecular island top to bottom in and out of every field, road and hill! This location is based along the coast, presents a beautiful array of hexagonal patterend stones and comes with a quirky Irish tale. If you are looking a spot to quick back for the sun going down. This is it. Visited during lockdown - super time to go, very quiet.

Being a travel agent we booked the service with this company however they did not do everything as promised. We first had an issue with the transfer and then it turned out they did not purchase the entrance tickets as we agreed and more importantly paid for. That was a year ago but we are still waiting for our refund but the company does not seem to care about that all. Horrible and not client oriented at all!

If you're in Northern Ireland you MUST go to Giants Causeway. This is an Iconic landmark and a must see. However if you go, make sure to take the bus back up the hill, it's a long walk.

Mr Murat is a professional tour guide, he will demonstrate the history and the knowledge about the scenes in a humorous way. You may not feel tired anymore. Besides, if you are a lucky guy meeting a beautiful day, then you experience would be perfect. This tour is completely different from other bus and group tour (which I had took before), the surprising point is not Giants Causeway, but the scene on the way. If you choose it, you will get what I mean.
