Glenn and Mary - California, U.S.A.

On September 1st, 2024, my wife and I spent a day with Lizzie and had such a wonderful time!  Weeks leading up to our personal tour, Lizzie was in regular contact with us (despite the 8 hour time difference), emailing us with options on which locations/sites to visit, and asking us for input on what our interests were. From there Lizzie took care of everything and planned out our day on what locations we would travel to.  She explained what appropriate footwear and clothes to wear for the unpredictable weather and the locations we would be visiting.

On our tour date, Lizzie picked us up at our hotel lobby in the early morning and headed towards the coast where we enjoyed visits to Dunluce castle, Giants causeway, and a view of the Carrick-a-rede Rope bridge.   Lizzie’s familiarity with the coastal area allowed us to avoid most of the crowds/tourists/buses. Also, at each site, Lizzie provided lots of interesting historical background information.

For lunch, Lizzie arranged for a tour of a local family owned sheep farm where we first enjoyed a tasty lunch and then were given a behind the scenes personal tour of the farm.  We learned interesting facts about how the farm operates and how self sustainable they can be.  After lunch Lizzie took us to view the Kinbane castle ruins which is off the beaten path and very few tourists to be seen. The coast views from the castle remains were stunning. Lizzie had warned us ahead of time the walk to the castle was a bit steep - but it was well worth it.

Separate from the tour, Lizzie was also very helpful in offering us tips on different villages to visit/stay during our trip, how to book tickets for the Titanic museum, restaurants/pubs, and recommending a Derry Danders tour in Derry-Londonderry.  

Throughout the process Lizzie was very helpful, informative, and friendly to work with. We highly recommend scheduling a personal day tour with Lizzie!
