This tour was fabulous. Our busdriver/tourguide Paul kept us entertained during the long drive to Belfast, Carrick-a-Rede, and the Giant's Causeway. I learned a great deal about the history of Ireland, the "Troubles" and their origins, the Battle of the Boyne (as we drove over the Boyne River), and other wonderful snippets of information. He sang us some songs, told us some hilarious stories (which began fairly innocently but got progressively more unbelievable), and drove us gently to our destinations. He gave great advice on where to walk, where and what to eat, and where to take a bathroom break. The trip was well worth the cost, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We were particularly fortunate that Paul had struck a deal with a Leprechaun "Seamus" (who he first me when he was six while collecting mushrooms) to provide us with utterly perfect weather. It was truly a spectacular trip.
