“Quiggs, our guide was very informative & funny! A great experience to see many places & not worrying about driving. The only things I recommend that aren’t told beforehand- bring money to tip the guide & driver at the end of the tour. It’s not mandatory, but it’s a long day & they do a great job. Also, being cash if you want to ride the shuttle at Giants Causeway. It’s a long walk- especially for people w back or knee problems and they don’t take cards. They do have charging ports on the bus, so bring a cord. It’s a long day w lots of stuff photo ops and…”

Our guide, who appeared as an extra in many films including Game of Thrones, shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. He also showed us lots of photos and short clips from GoT. And boy, can he sing—he's the lead vocalist for The Roadhouse Doors! Dressing in GoT-style capes and handling armor replicas made the experience truly immersive. Lastly, I must mention “the king of the bus”—our driver—who skillfully navigated the bus through gates with barely an inch of space on either side.”
