There was confusion at the meeting point because there are 3 different tours that share the same coach up to Belfast. So just be sure which tour you've got because in Belfast you break off into 3 groups. There is no longer a stop in the town of Bushmill, and you just see the distillery from your window as you drive by after your stop at Giant's Causeway. Instead, you get a FABULOUS inside visit of Dunluce Castle - a really cool castle ruin on a coastal cliff. It's totally worth exploring and deserves the time. Advice for Giant's Causeway: Take the 2 pound roundtrip shuttle from the top to the bottom because it's a very long walk down, and then you have the time to properly sit down for a lunch before the coach leaves again. Otherwise, there's not enough time to get lunch on tour. The Belfast walking tour did not have headsets, as mentioned in the tour description. It was given by a local guide who had a little speaker with his mic. It sufficed. Recommend stopping inside the City Hall when the tour ends right there to see the interior, and the cafe inside supports local causes, which is really nice. Our guide on the coach was brusque and unclear with everyone at the beginning about how this was three tours in one coach and created some unnecessary confusion at the start. So I knocked a star off for that and for the odd mall we stop in for breakfast where the places clearly know you're coming and won't serve you anything except for a choice or two from the tour coach menu. They all seemed annoyed we were there in the cafe I went to, even though there was no one there in line but maybe 5 of us. You could only get a ham and cheese or a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel I got was stale and nearly inedible. My advice would be to pack your own food (not cooked food!!) - like hearty sandwiches, fruit, etc. because it's hard to find time or good choices to eat on this tour. The destinations are why you go, and they were AMAZING. The coach was comfortable, and the driver was very good.
