Thursday 13th and Friday 14th June - Private Winterfell and Iron Islands Tours.

For the past two days I’ve had the company of Greg, Tracy, Valerie, Kyle and Braden from Laguna Vista, Texas, USA 🇺🇸

On day one we set off on the Winterfell tour. The weather forecast was predicting a lot of rain and oh boy did it prove to be true. We managed to get the morning visit to Castleward done and dusted in fairly light rain showers. After lunch we went to Tollymore forest park for the second part of the tour but due to torrential downpours we had to abandon the plan and return to Belfast earlier than expected. It was so disappointing for me as a guide the very first time I had to end a tour early.

Day two on the Iron Islnds tour which started off much better, we did have a few rain showers in the morning but the day got progressively better and by the end of play we had blue sky and sunshine.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide, it was a pleasure to meet you all.

Sunday 9th June - Private Iron Islands Tour.

On tour today were best friends and work colleagues Shiloh and Amy from Kansas City, Missouri, USA 🇺🇸.

The two ladies are on a European business trip and decided to add a few extra days of sight seeing activities to their schedule.

As you will see from the photos today’s weather was very different to yesterday’s. Mostly grey and overcast skies with some rain in places. No strong winds today and slightly warmer temperatures. However the grey skies did not dampen the enthusiasm of my two guests to get on and enjoy the day.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide today, it was a pleasure.

To all of my ‘Iron Islands Tour’ guests, I’ve found this very interesting TV program which you might be interested in watching. It’s all about the pretty costal village of Cushendall, you might remember this village which we pass through on the tour. I always mention it as we pass by because of the Curfew Tower and the quaint street of pastel painted shops and homes.

Ben Robinson explores Cushendall, one of the finest Georgian villages in Northern Ireland.

Thursday 31st August 2023 - Private Iron Islands Tour.

On tour with me today were Steve and Kristine from Brandon, Florida, USA 🇺🇸.

They are on an around Ireland cruise and have two days in Belfast. Steve is a keen sports and fitness coach, and he surprised me by asking would it be possible to have a swim in the sea at some stage during today’s tour. I choose the ‘hidden beach’ aka Dragonstone beach as the prefect place for him get in the water. This was the very first time a tour guest has made this request, so I’ve made a short video of him taking the plunge. You can view it in the comment box below.

Today’s weather was very overcast, but a pleasant temperature and no rain.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide today. I hope you continue to enjoy the remainder of your cruise.

Monday 10th July 2023 - Private Iron Islands Tour.

With me today were Connie, John, Chris and Thomas from San Diego, California, USA 🇺🇸. Another family who were celebrating the graduation of the youngest son, congratulations Christopher 🥳

While at Murlough Bay we got caught up in a medical emergency, a rock climber had fallen and had what was suspected to be a broken leg. He had fallen at approx 7:30am and had been crawling on his hands and one knee for 5 hours trying to get back up the path to the car park. We were alerted by another Italian couple on holiday who, had found him and asked us to use our mobile to call Emergency Services. Then we went down hill to find him and see what we could do to help. He was very cold and in a lot of pain, but in remarkably good spirits. Thomas and myself managed to lift him and help him back up the long hill to the parking area. He was taken to hospital and we believe he has been taken to surgery to repair his injury. Michael if you ever get to read this we hope you have a full and speedy recovery 🙏🏻

Today’s forecast was for wet weather and thunderstorms. We did not have any serious rain but no sun and the sky remained dull and grey for most of the day.

Thank you for choosing me as your guide today, also thanks for your help with Michael’s recovery. Best wishes for the remainder of your vacation.

Monday 19th June 2023 - Iron Islands Private Tour

On today’s tour were Inger, Becca and Ann, all from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺.

These ladies are life long friends who all have some Irish ancestry, so their holiday here was all about tracing some family roots and doing some Game of Thrones activities. They were all super enthusiastic and very willing participants up for all kinds of fun. When we got to Ballintoy Harbour, (aka the Iron Islands) they eagerly donned replica Yara Greyjoy costumes for some photo opportunities and a little bit of play acting on the beach.

Today’s weather was a little bit of everything really, cloudy in the morning which changed to sunny spells, then some very heavy downpours in the afternoon, temperatures were very comfortable.

It was such a pleasure meeting you all and thank you for choosing me as your guide today. I hope you all enjoy the remainder of your holiday in Northern Ireland.
