I was passing through Belfast for less than 24 hours in November and was keen on arranging an opportunity to see the Giant's Causeway while in Northern Ireland. Francis picked me up at my hotel lobby at noon and drove me up the coast, providing lots of stories and context about the country along the way. We had a quick stop at Glenarm and a another at the overlook at Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge, and he then gave me time to walk the bridge, which was well worth the pitstop. We then got to the Causeway with plenty of time before sunset for me to walk down to the shore and soak in the awe of the geography for about an hour. Spectacular! On the way back to the hotel, Francis took the time to show me the Belfast Peace Walls and some of the remarkable murals on the back of houses in the area. All in all, the tour hit the spot for a flash tour of the country, with safe, comfortable driving and an informative and friendly tour guide.
