This was such a great experience. Ray was amazing. The food at Fullerton was outstanding. If you’re not sure about the seafood chowder I promise you won’t regret it. All the stops were great. We had plenty of time to see what there was to see. Would highly recommend. Also, sit on the left side of the bus, I was jealous of the left side for sure.

Beautiful scenery and perfectly timed stops to break up day
It was a sunny day but really cold and windy when we went to the Giants Causeway (April 2026). Fortunately we brought layers for this trip. Wind breaker was a life saver while visiting Giants Causeway. We liked how the long day trip was broken up with interesting stops along the way. There were some stops that were treats for Game of Thrones fans and enjoyable for everyone. Tour guide and driver Patrick was really good entertaining us with history, factoids, and Irish humor. We highly recommend this tour when visiting North Ireland.

Fantastic day out
It’s very informative and there is a lot of walking, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Either bring a packed lunch or some spending money for snacks along the way. Brian and Jacob were our guides and they were brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful day trip -highly recommended 5*
Highly enjoyable day out with a well thought out itinerary and the comfort of a smaller mini coach , the experience was made even more memorable by the guidance from our driver Paul who educated and entertained us in equal measure!
5* highly recommended when in Belfast

Excellent experience!
I thought this experience was awesome! It was super easy to find the bus at the Europa Hotel, the driver was really engaged, had a great sense of humor & provided a lot of info about Ireland. I also liked that we stopped at Portaneevy Viewpoint on our way to Giant’s Causeway! All around an excellent experience!

Excellent value out of this tour!!
Excellent tour. We stopped at every planned stop even if it rained! I especially appreciated that each stop was timed short enough so we didn’t get bored at any one place. Our driver and guide did an excellent job and was quite the story teller and very gracious with everyone even though he did two jobs in one!!

Don’t Miss This Gigantic Opportunity
This full day tour was amazing and left us speechless. Troy is funny and personable and shared info as he drove us to the impressively restored Carrickfergus Castle and then the stunning cliffside Dunluce castle. A lunch stop allowed us to walk through the Dark Hedges of Game of Thrones fame before Troy took us to the main attraction- Giants Causeway. There are several hikes (or a bus) you can take to reach the causeway. We opted to take the red hike up the mountain which then led to stairs and a trail down to the shore and the causeway. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking and just when we thought it could not get any better, we reached the causeway at the shore. We were literally speechless, as our brains couldn’t fathom the 40,000 plus basalt hexagonal columns. We climbed out onto them and watched the powerful waves wash in. The more moderate walk back up the blue hike was spent in some silent reflection. On the drive back to Belfast, Troy mostly played music - nice move, Troy! This was an awesome tour - I would not miss the chance to see Giants Causeway!

Worth it for the drive alone! But wait, there’s more!
The small bus excursion with Paul our driver and tour guide was easily the most beautiful road trip I have taken in my life. I was very impressed with Paul’s abilities to navigate the winding turns of the countryside while sharing insightful historical stories. His kindness and sense of humor added to it all. I’m a tour guide myself and was very impressed. I would have a hard time doing what he did. We had plenty of time at all of the sites in the mini bus was very comfortable. It was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever been on in my life. Highly recommended!

Brilliant excursion
This excursion was absolutely brilliant! Our driver, Gary, picked us up from outside the Europa Hotel and during the journey to the Giant’s Causeway, he gave us loads of fascinating information about Ireland. We went past the Dark Hedges (made famous by GoT) and through the town of Bushmills (famous for the whiskey).
The causeway itself is incredible, and I’m so pleased we got to see it.
Gary is such a knowledgeable person, and made the hour or so’s journey pass much quicker with the information he gave us and the music he shared.
I would highly recommend this excursion, and especially our driver. We left and returned promptly and had time for a pint at The Nook before we left the Giant’s Causeway.
Thanks so much for a great afternoon!

Excellent full-day excursion!
we opted for Viator’s tour, rather than the comparable tour offered by our cruise line. It was half the price, but longer and included more stops. Our excellent driver, Stephen, multitask and acted as driver and tour guide. He did a great job, and his mission seemed to be to get his passengers to the site before the other big cruise buses. It worked! We had open viewing of the Giants Causeway hundreds of people poured in.
It didn’t hurt that we had perfect weather. Plenty of time to explore and have a pint in the pub there before heading on for a quick lunch break in Bushmill.
The drive-through the northern Ireland countryside was beautiful and he was a very proficient driver.

The trip from Belfast to...
The trip from Belfast to the Giant's Causeway took us through beautiful Countryside scenery. Our tour guide (Amanda) was very informative and enjoyable. Our driver (Steve) got us where we needed to be safely and was very friendly. We really enjoyed our day.
