Excellent day. Very knowledgeable and flexible. Don't miss the political tour of Belfast!
David is amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Belfast, cool places to see as well as hittting the highlights. We went to Giant’s Causeway as well as the political murals. David wanted to make sure we had a special day and we saw as many things as possible. He took us to Game of Thrones locations, beautiful beaches and let me see all the cows and sheep I could. What makes David so special is he made sure we went to wonderful after dinner spots to experience the entire Belfast experience. Based upon his recommendations, we went to Fibber Magees for great music and a pint, saw the skyline of Belfast and had a wonderful evening. David cares about his guests and we had a marvelous day with him. I highly recommend him for anyone spending time in Belfast.
David was a great learning experience and a lot of fun on the Coast part of the trip and offered unbiased and informative insight into the Troubles. He left us with empathy for the depth of the problems but glimmers of hope. I highly recommend his tour for anyone interested in learning about the people and their path towards reconciliation.
David did an excellent job showing us the Giants Causeway and other beautiful and interesting sites along the coast. He was informative, personable and very responsive to our wishes. It was a pleasure spending the day with him and we highly recommend his services!
If I could give David more than 5 stars I would. We were 7 adults, David pick us up at our cruise ship and drove us first to Giants Causeway. After we were done viewing Giants Causeway, he took us to a local pub for lunch which was right on the water. We then drove to other scenic viewpoints that were even more spectacular and without all the tourists. David talked all the way to the causeway and back into Belfast, explaining the history of the Troubles. Took us around to see the political murals and wall
A true highlight of our time in Ireland was the tour of Belfast, Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle and sights along the Antrim Coast with David. His knowledge was thorough and gave tremendous insight into the natural wonders and historic locations. His anecdotes from transporting GoT actors and the creation myth of the Giant's Causeway were particularly engaging. He also shared his personal experiences growing up in Belfast during The Troubles and how that continues to shape the city and its people.
