Laura Wages
What a fun and informative tour with Adrian! This man knows all about Carrickfergus, but even has a notebook with more pictures to show the group. Loved his stories! Thanks Adrian for teaching us history that we’d never heard.
Dennis Dow
Great experience. Guides were knowledgeable and passionate about each location we visited. Interesting historical information and how some of the Carrick history has a direct relationship with USA history. Highly recommended.
