Review of the 13-hour Dublin tour to Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges, Belfast, and Titanic Distillers.
“The trip was as advertised: stops at Dunluce castle, Giant’s Causeway, Dark Hedges, bonus photo stop at Portaneevy viewpoint, and Titanic distillery in Belfast. For the most part, each stop had adequate time. We had nearly 2 hours at Giant’s Causeway, about an hour at the distillery, and 10 or so minutes at the other photo stops. I could have stayed a little longer at the distillery for more samples, but maybe that’s just me. Overall I was very happy with the trip.”
