Staying in Liverpool, I went 1 day to see Belfast since it had been recommended by friends and colleagues. I had three city tours to pick between, and this one is supposed to be no. 1 on Tripadvisor (it was also half the price of the two others). So what can I say about the tour? Well, let's look at...

Had only a couple of hours in Belfast and decided to do a bus tour to get an insight into the city. Allens was the first bus to arrive so did that one. Did not have time to get off the bus but felt that the round trip gave me a good feeling of the city. The guide's witty comments... More

Really interesting and entertaining tour around the city, you get to see the historic side of Belfast and the more modern areas you definitely wouldn't have wanted to visit during the troubles, its a sobering experience to see the memorials and murals when you realise these are normal everyday people like ourselves but the tour is lifted by the wonderful...

We booked a tour round Belfast from our hotel, where they offered pick-up from the door. We waited nearly an hour and then a man arrived and WALKED us half a mile to the bus stop! I had asked for a pick-up as I had a bad knee and found it difficult to walk. We were told that the bus... More

Recently visited Belfast, lots to do & see. Bus trip was worth taking for overview. Informative & interesting & very obliging. Do tours as early as possible to avoid traffic in the evening. After hopping off to do the Titanic experience ,were able to pick up the bus on his continuing journey later on that day. I left a few... More

They offer 72hours ticket because one day is not enough. They just have one bus and it takes almost 2 hours to arrive at the same place it drops up off, imagine so when there are 22 attractions to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Giants Causeway largely thanks to Kevin & Ian.These drivers were professionals,very polite and obliging and had excellent local knowledge. The trip along the Antrim Coast was well worth the money spent......excellent value. Thankyou to you all!

We did both the City Tour and the Giants Causeway with Allen's. Both tours were fantastic. Interesting, funny, moving and well organised. The coaches aren't the newest fleet in the world, but that just adds to the charm!
