Explore Northern Ireland with your own Driver Tour Guide

My husband and I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have had Lizzie as our guide
for 3 tours. Lizzie took us on one full day tour each of Ards and the Causeway and a
1/2 day tour of Belfast. It was a tour unlike any we have experienced in our many
years of travel because we got to meet and get a feel for the people who live in these
fascinatingly different places. She was able to share with us not just the sites but the
essence of what makes each of these regions unique. She, like the tour she
provides, is a gem. Lizzie is smart, caring, flexible, and fun. She quickly figured out
our interests and tailored the tour to meet those interests. We had a wonderful time
touring these parts of Ireland with Lizzie. If you have the opportunity don't miss
Northern Ireland and don't miss having Lizzie as your guide.

"Lizzie went above-and-beyond the call by researching and customizing a tour for us. Needless to say, we would not have found the dilapidated hut where my great grandmother was born in 1884. Lizzie also introduced us to Hillsborough Castle and a nice pub in the Village. Great Guide; Great Effort; Great Tour; Great Time Had By All. I wish I could award more stars."

My husband and I had the best full day tour of Giant's Causeway and
Derry/Londonderry with Lizzie. She was chock full of information and a joy to be with.
She was easy to understand, professional and really knew her way around. We
enjoyed her so much we booked her for a tour of Belfast the next day. We highly
recommend Lizzie Charley as a tour guide.

My husband and I had the most educational, informative and enjoyable half-day tour
of Belfast with Lizzie. We learned so much about the environment in Belfast and
Northern Ireland and came away with a much better understanding the "Troubles"
there. Lizzie went above and beyond the role of a tour guide and we would highly
recommend her as a tour guide.

My wife and I had the very great pleasure of using Lizzie Charley as our guide for our recent visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland.  We were extremely pleased with our experience and would definitely use Lizzie again on another tour of Belfast and the surrounding areas.   
The primary purpose of our trip was ancestral genealogy to see locations where my wife’s family lived and worked in Belfast before emigrating to Canada.   We also wanted to see the Giant’s Causeway and some sites along the drive.  Lizzie delivered. 
Prior to our tour we sent Lizzie the addresses we had for the family homes and businesses.  Many of the actual buildings were destroyed in World War 2.  But she took the information, mapped it out and pre-drove it to get the most efficient route and best places to stop.  She also located some other buildings from the era that might have been relevant to the family based on proximity.  The result was an efficient use of time and great stop locations.  My wife was able to get out, walk the area and get pictures of all the important sites.  We are very satisfied, and now have more memories and pictures to pass on. 
We then went to Belfast castle for a quick tour and view overlooking many of the sites where the family lived.   Beautiful architecture and views of Belfast.  We found all of the cat artwork in the garden. 
Following this, we travelled to the Giant’s Causeway.   Lizzie took us in and then along a route that made it easier to explore the causeway with spectacular views.  This was accompanied by an easier way to see more with less strenuous climbs.   Lizzie pointed specific features and special spots in the causeway for great pictures.  It was well worth the trip and her commentary made it more memorable and interesting. 
We then had a terrific lunch at a local restaurant in the town nearby, and then drove back using a second scenic set of views and locations to see more of the area.  Ultimately, we ended up back at our cruise ship after a quick swing by the Titanic Museum and dry dock. 
Important to note, Lizzie is qualified as a taxi driver.  This means Lizzie could use her own vehicle to take us on our tour.  We did not need to rent a car ourselves or use public transportation.   This is a real plus. 
Lizzie was great to work with.  Great communication via email before the tour. And fun, energetic, entertaining and knowledgeable in person.   I give Lizzie my highest recommendation.   You can’t go wrong with her.
