This was an amazing and unique experience. I feel like we got the best excursion possible for all of Northern Ireland! My group got to see the countryside and it was more than I could hope for. Each ridge we went over and every curve we went through showed a new and stunning landscape. Wild sheep roamed everywhere, cliffs swooped around bluffs. While on the "old roads" we may have passed 2 cars in 8 hours. It was like we were the only people on the land and it was so special and peaceful. Not a typical tourist attraction and worth every cent! Would definitely recommend!
