Northern Ireland tour
This one-day tour of key attractions in Northern Ireland was a highlight of our trip. Murat and his services were professional, personable and included stops of interest to make our tour truly memorable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great custom tour.
This was a private guided tour of the the Giants Causeway and the Dark Hedges.
Our guide, Murat, was wonderful! He took his time to explain the history behind a number of sites along the way as we proceeded north to the Giants Causeway. He was very flexible if we saw something that caught our eye to be sure we were taken care of.
Wonderful day with our guide Marut
A fantastic and full 9 hour tour with many stops snd opportunities to walk around and explore, including places that the big buses can’t get to. Marut was a wonderful and entertaining guide who clearly knows his stuff and had a few connections to enhance the trip. The van was very comfortable for the 6 adult passengers.
