We had a great time. Informing us of the history of Ireland and 'The Troubles', that went on from the 1960s to 1998.

We had a great driver/guide, Culim, and a small number of passengers. We were able to spread out in the bus. We loved staying in Bangor village for two nights in a very nice B&B. Great breakfasts and lovely, helpful people who ran the B&B. The Titannic Museum was a highlight as well as Giant's Causeway. Although I had been to Ireland three times in the past, I had not been to Northern Ireland and am glad I had the opportunity to do so on this 2023 trip.Show more
