It sits on the north shore of Belfast Lough, 11 miles (18 km) from Belfast. The town had a population of 27,903 at the 2011 Census.

Mr Murat is a professional tour guide, he will demonstrate the history and the knowledge about the scenes in a humorous way. You may not feel tired anymore. Besides, if you are a lucky guy meeting a beautiful day, then you experience would be perfect. This tour is completely different from other bus and group tour (which I had took before), the surprising point is not Giants Causeway, but the scene on the way. If you choose it, you will get what I mean.

Last year was better as we went upto Stormont, but couldn't this time due to it now being in session. Much prefer the live commentary. Didnt really feel value for money.
